Five Point Someone someone

It is the story of 3 IIT students. It is clearly the storyline of how they
ruined their life in the first 5 semesters and how they finally made into
corporate jobs (or what they like) after realization.
Ryan, wise and brilliant, pragmatical-science minded, who hate mug up
study and IIT education system as well. Hari, who has no idea what to do
in his life, always follows or tries to imitate to be Ryan. And, Alok —

came from a poor & traditional family, who worked hard to get into IIT,
wants a good corporate job after graduation to support his family and
sick father.
The story goes as usual. They bunk classes, go to movies on Ryan
scooter which is a gift from his parents (even though he hated his rich-
parents, he used to get gifts). They eat at the same restaurants (as we all
graduates do), they drink alcohol and smoke in rooms. They always try to
do things differently as every other Indian engineering student does in
their first and second semesters.
They get fewer marks, for an obvious reason. Alok blames Ryan for his
ideas (movies, spending time outside). These three people split up and
Alok(6+GPA) goes to Venkat(9+GPA) room. Another interesting
character, Venkat, who is always-9+ point GPA, always mug up
everything, almost every line of academic books(I don’t know, how
people read academic books).
On the other hand, Ryan and Hari don’t care about their semester grades.
Now, the author introduces a love story of Hari. He fell in love with
Neha, who is daughter of HOD of the department, Cherian. This love
story mixes up with emotional content such as Neha’s brother died of an
accident. They connected each other with every-second-Saturday call. 2
years passed, Alok increases 1 grade and the other two are held there on
5gpa ship, hovering between 5 and 5.5. They are always five-point
something.
In the third year, one day, Venkat refuses to help Alok while his father is
sick. Ryan helps him. So they three united. They used to attend their
favorite professor classes, Prof.Veera, who is young and practical-
minded. In their third year course, Cherian teaches the subject. Hari
wants to impress him as his love-life depended on him but fails miserably
by caught-up drunk red-handed.
Now comes, their biggest mistake, trying to steal question papers of
semester exams as there is no way to get good marks quickly. They
caught up to security guards. Then, the issue goes to the inter-disciplinary
committee. Prof-Veera helps them there, but the committee decides to
extend their one year. They were short of a few credits to attend an
interview in the last year.
Meanwhile, professor Cherian got to know that his son died of not due to
an accident but suicide. Neha's brother did suicide because he can’t make
it into IIT. He felt ashamed as a HOD son. Now, Cherian feels ashamed
of. He turned into a somewhat good person than he was.

Even though they punished with the one-semester ban, Ryan scooter-
lubricants-mix project saves them. Cherian agreed to give credentials to
their project. They finally made their engineering degree. Alok, Hari got
one corporate job. Ryan didn’t like a corporate job, he settles at Prof.
Veera as a research associate on his lubricants project.
This is the my first book of Chetan. I should appreciate him for his witty
style and metaphoric language.
