This is the story of a smart, intelligent boy, Pankaj, who belongs to a middle class punjabi family living in Delhi during 1990s. Pankaj aims to get into an IIT, but due to an unfortunate reason, he cannot make it. So he proceeds to a Russian city, Volvograd, to pursue his engineering degree. And the rest of the story is all about Pankaj's struggle and survival in the foreign land.
The story is divided into 3 parts.
First part is set in Delhi, and is all about Pankaj's birth, family,childhood, school friends and his struggle to get into an IIT and eventually not getting through it.
Second part is about his college life in Russia. The backdrop is refreshing and the protagonist's struggle is very well narrated. Pankaj's determination, hardwork and practicality are very much inspiring.
The third and the last part focuses on his love life. The story has a happy ending, leaving a feel-good feeling :)
An easy-breezy read.
