I may not have told you all … but I’m a big Fiction reader . I often Spend my whole pocket money on books and later end up starving!
A month before , I Chanced upon this book on Landmark ( I Love the Place and it’s ambiance… the Smell Of Books Feels Sooooo Good!) called ” My Friend Sancho” By Amit Varma. Amit varma , as many of you may not know , is a celebrated blogger. He shot to fame with his blog India-Uncut !
Now my post here is not a review or something of the book ! Amit Varma’s debut novel My Friend Sancho is a welcome change. It is not ‘Welcome Change’ because of any literary merit or anything of that sort , but to include a freshness in writing Style in Indian fiction. What I utterly found disgusting , is the fact that he is being compared to the Badass IIT-IIM Fellow , popularly known As Chetan Bhagat!. Varma Is Contemporary On his attitude , writing and storyline! Atleast he doesn’t keep boring his readers with shits ,which Bhagat has been doing all this while.
The novel is set in contemporary times, in the city of Mumbai. What’s unique in this novel is that it is contemporary both in temporal sense as well as cultural sense. It’s fun reading it. I mean , the book takes care of the average sense of humor of every youth!My Friend Sancho is strictly R-rated . Do not Gift It to your dad … Your Butt Would be kicked off like never before. 
Having said that this is a funny book , that doesn’t mean there’s nothing serious. The Book is an intricate and impulsive take on modern situations. It is a very interesting novel , which actually touches varied fields such as Journalism, Tabloid culture , Police , Encounters and Politics.
Now , the purpose of this post is to tell you guys , a few things which might be useful to enjoy the book :
1> First and foremost … Do not assume or expect anything! . This is the BIGGEST mistake all readers make . I have seen some internet posts which has all the crazy shit about this book. This book is Meant to be enjoyed with a casual mind. You need not scrutinize everything!
2> Second … it is a plus point if you are familiar with this world of ‘unconventional’ Blogging , Which Varma Specializes in. It would be easier to get the punch lines , which varma keeps delivering every instant!
3> Think Out of the Box … this book is what I call a classic example of ‘out of the box’ thinking . You Cannot Enjoy The Book until and unless you set your mind free . There are quite a few things in the book that would require your imagination .
Now , If you keep pressing your mind… and yell … ” how the hell did this happen?” … you being an insensitive jerk !
4> Enjoy the Unconventional Language . This book is written in a very enjoyable language that we youth are accustomed of! It is advisable that you Follow Amit varma’s Blog! Mind my Words.. this book would surely set you laughing! 
Now for all you people who claim themselves to be imaginative and cool! … this book is your’s for a read! . If you want a flavour of uncanny , witty , dark comedy … Go grab a copy and enjoy.
