I haven't been able to put down anything for the past month although my life has flipped almost 180 degrees during this span. More on that will be an elborate post with some literary fireworks in it.
Just today finished reading "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed,Got Wild and Got a Life" by Kaavya Vishwanathan. An awesome read i must say. The narration begins by depicting how a young geeky gal falters on her admission interview @ HARVARD . Dean is actually impressed by her academic brilliance but somehow feels opal is a misfit on the social scene. So he asks her to apply again after 6 months.
What follows is sheer madness with Opal n her folks planning n plotting to make the "Geeky"
Opal into one of the Hottest chicks on Woodcliff high. .......n then the interview.... (rest....i guess u'll know once u finish the entire book....:-) )
The most important thing that i got from this one is that some where beneath the burden of my goals and ambitions , i have lost out on doing what i enjoy the most. In this regimented lifestyle that i have been boasting about for quite some time now,i have ignored those tiny moments of joy which i should have treasured.
Once you are through with this book,you come to know really what Dean Anderson meant when he said "Opal get a life" .

The news of her being a plagiarist put me off from reading this book, but now you've renewed that irking !!!
Dude...I agree she has lifted some instances.Still u can feel the tinge and the tenderness in her style which u can very well relate to.
Try n get ur hands on it if u can. U'll surely enjoy this one.
