Ohh Yes I Am Single...!: And So Is My Girlfriend (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
i remember i said earlier that i am going to take a break from the author and read something else. but when i finally saw this book in the library i could not resist. " oh yes i am single is another funny titled book by durjoy which works well to grab the attention of the readers. ones who have read durjoy datta before would better know that the content of the book is not half as interesting as the title itself. then why do i go back to his book?? i can explain!! for one, i cannot read two serious books at stretch. so these " pop-corn " books give me a break form the serious "stuff" and i get to enjoy life. secondly, all the famous serious writers i know are going to be good. i can pick up any book by them and i know that i will not regret reading it. on the contrary, the new writers on board are the once not yet discovered. so i feel they should also get a fair chance. after a series of not so good books i thought should explain why i keep going back to them!!this is the 7th book i have read by dujoy datta. I m not a crazy fan, trust me!!the book is about the love conquests and heartbreaks of durjoy datta. for once you might wonder why somebody would be interested in reading about the author's love life. well, he's cute!! and a young achiever!! hmmm... so when i started the book i was bored to death. story is supposedly written by neeti rustagi, his friend. durjoy datta starts from his school crush,goes on to college affairs, to his office and his school of management. the explains himself at every point that he is not a bad person. he is just thoroughly confused about the choices n life! he goes out to find true love every time but it eventually ends up being a fling. and when he finds true love he is a fool enough to let it slip out of his hands. but he is just lucky to get her back and gets his happily ever after.for the girls who are interested, i would like to tell you that durjoy datta constantly denies that the book is entirely about his life. in his own words, neeti ruatagi is a good story teller so what she writes should not be believed!!durjoy datta turns out to be a regular character that you would see in your college canteen. it is kept very real in he has not been portrayed as a god in human body. that is what i like about the character. the book is very boring in the beginning. he is a nerd who could hardly grab any girl's attention. the story gets interesting when the new girl called Manika enters his life and he changes for good. the writer ends the book on a very hopeful note that somewhere somebody is made for you. to find him you need to keep bumping into wrong people!! the book is a train journey read. when you finish it you will have a smile on your face. this book again is not a literary wonder by durjoy datta. but yet again it does have few good hilarious and emotional moments like every book by the author. i would give this book 2 and half - 3 stars. if you are saturated from reading a heavy duty book then this one is the right book you should be reading. go ahead. give it a try. but do not expect it to be a war and peace!! ciao!! Durjoy Dutta, I wonder from where you got the inspiration to WRITE BOOKS with such pathetic English and lack of creativity. I literally regret why I started reading this filthy book with such a foolish story. The book revolves around Durjoy, a Bengali guy and his relationship with half a dozen girls. Some like him some don't but he finds all of them CUTE.It's really irritating that CUTE is the only adjective in Durjoy Dutta's dictionary to extol a girl.Apart from this, the story itself is vexing enough to follow till the end. The book is filled with nonsensical and egregious characters, conversations, words, scenes and everything else.It's quite bewildering for me to believe that stuff like this gets published and people even start idolizing smutty writers like you.It's shameful for me to even write a review on your book but I can't help it. I had to warn others from reading this hell of a book.
