A phenomenal reading experience.......

I read fiction mainly because it helps me to liberate myself and push my creative boundaries through the eyes of the story teller.This time the story teller is Karan Bajaj with his witty,quirky,humorous and fast paced reading delight 'Keep Off The Grass'.

Karan Bajaj, an IIM Bangalore alumni; writes his debut novel with freshness & spunk of a new age author blended with a matured fervor of a veteran author.

The novel hovers around the life of the protagonist who is a suave,smart yet confused NRI Investment Banker based in Wall Street who sets for a journey to India which includes the rigorous academics in IIM, occasional solitary confinements in the hostel rooms,friends who seek enlightenment though customised spiritual retreats,a summer internship in Banaras,a brisk trip to the prison,acquaintances which includes the finest minds of wall street & IIM to aghori tribes,hippies,drug peddlers to a legendary author.

It's the by products learned from his exrtemely funny and deeply thought provoking journey which will stay with you even after reading the novel.

I congratulate Karan on his remarkable debut novel and I am keenly looking forward to the sequel...............
