Review part :)
Excellent portrayal of life of a DU student with a humble background during 90s . The honest & clear cut expression of the author is commendable.However, treating the book as merely nostalgic would be diminishing its stature. The author has beautifully explored Amit Mathur's heart and mind as he swims in romantic relationships and finally wades towards maturity.
The narrative flows and the language is easily comprehensible. However, the social commentary in the epilogue could have been avoided.
The author is never at a loss either for words or for wits. Recommended for a read on one of those lazy afternoons. The dilemma in the mind of Amit as well as his expectations from himself, both are beautifully explained in this book. At that point of time there was no culture or availability of mobile phones , therefore life was quite different from this time for everyone. Any student of that time can relate himself/ herself with the characters of 'Delhi Bytes' and will be forced to look into his/ her past I hope & believe that Amulya will definitely write profusely in future with same zeal and onesty. I wish him the very best for future.
