The story starts at IITB where the protagonist Maddy, who is from the same college, meets a girl who came to their cult-fest ‘mood indigo’. That relation ends in tragedy in a couple of days. Next, it is about his encounter with Pooja, whom he met on Orkut. She agrees to be his girlfriend leaving her boyfriend because of Maddy’s IIT brand (that is what she says). Maddy gets a job so he shifts to Gurgoan, where he meets his flat mates - Harsha, Kundan and Dhananjay. The relation with Pooja becomes a distance relation.
In office he meets Divya, who is a bitsian. Divya becomes Maddy’s best friend. Whenever there is a fight between Maddy and Pooja, Divya sorts it out. As the story proceeds Maddy doubts whether Divya loves him. And he is confused whether he should go after Pooja(with whom he is having problems) leaving Divya( who loves him a lot).. After one incident he realizes Divya is the right one. From there the relation with Divya begins. The rest of the story is about how this relation turns out to be. Will their relation end on a happy note? Or will it be a disaster like his previous experiences? How did the relation of Maddy with his flat mates changes during all this?
Though this one is quite predictable till the end, the ending justifies the title “roller coaster ride”. I liked the way author portrayed Maddy’s relation with his flat mates.
As the story advances Maddy inspires to be an entrepreneur. But this point did not show any impact on the story line. There are some characters which come and go without adding anything to the story.
The writing style is fine. This is like real life incidents packed into a single story.
Just-ok type. Not a must read.
