review 1: Titled "THE (IN) ELIGIBLE BACHELORS" is a debut by writer Ruchita Misra .The title of the book is as attractive as the cover...The cover is very well designed and goes with plot of the book.The story revolves around "Kasturi" who is the protagonist. So what is it about? Just another love story? Not really...It’s far more than that. It’s about FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, TRUST, FAMILY and a lot of twist and turns.Kasturi is a MBA graduate, single and 24. Her mother wants her to get married to a well settled, rich, suitable guy, an arranged marriage to be precise. Her mother’s hunt for a son in law begins with Ads in the news paper, a profile on SHAADI.com. Soon Kasturi joins a company in Delhi. She makes new friends, ANANYA, a tomboy & VARUN, a nerd and a gossip monger. She con... moretinues to meet random guys in Delhi solely because she cannot say ‘NO’ to her mother and gives up to her emotional blackmail every time.She meets a number of guys and is horrified with her experiences. Among all, she meets Purva who is a doctor, a shy and decent guy and a lot different from others. Although she never thinks about him that way, he lands up every now and then to help her in difficult situations.She finds her job very interesting. Although most of the time she keeps making PPT's. Story builds up when Kasturi falls madly in love with her boss Mr. RAJEEV MEHOTRA. Rajeev is young, energetic, intelligent and a very good looking Punjabi guy. The romantic dinner, hangouts, chit chats, messaging, conversations between the two keeps you holding on to the book. Kasturi reveals her relationship with Rajeev to her family. Her mother disapproves Rajeev because he is not a Brahmin. The story takes a big turn where Kasturi is dumb founded. She is unable to take the most important decision of her life. Will she make the right decision? Does she get out of the chaos?The book is very interesting and has some very witty one liners. One can easily relate to the story and it makes you glued throughout.Vicarious writing style of the author made me realized that reading this book was time well spent.
review 2: Funny and Unputdownable! I read the book in 5 hours straight... that speaks volumes about the kind of book this is. The best thing about the book is that the protagonist is not perfect. A little goofy, a little serious, totally adorable and tons of fun to read... :)The situations are life like, well most of them anyway and you can probably think up of knowing someone who has been there and done that. It is breezy, fun read... perfect for taking your mind off the stress after a busy week. less
