A good effort by debutant writer Neeraj Chibba.
The book traces the journey and struggles of an Indian student
in Volgograd Russia,the struggles and finally the learnings through it.
The writer gives an authentic firsthand account of life in the
erstwhile Soviet Union and the tough life for overseas students there.
The humour is subtle and realistic.The narrations about his romantic
interludes with a teacher in his institute is interesting and the
book progresses to a interesting climax.
The situation reminds one of Raj-Kapoor's Mera Naam Joker.
The book is narrated in a fashion similar to travel writers like RK Narayan and
Graham Greene.
A commendable debut effort by Neeraj Chibba.
