Book review: joker in the pack

another book on the struggles of campus life in the IIM / IIT. So much better than "5 pt someone" and "anything for u mam". Much more practical. DOES NOT portray an ideal world in which the hero

• narrowly escapes expulsion after some careless antics,
• manages to "get with a girl" and
  
• cleverly avoids nearly getting killed by the girl's father/brother.
  

which is the formula of all 3 bhagath novels.
I think Chetan Bhagath is one of the most over-hyped authors of our time, and he completely lacks substance.
