Nothing Can Be As Crazy
Nothing can be as Crazy… is a story of a typical service-class Indian, Suresh, who works in a bank. He is straight and conservative, and finds himself out of sync at every stage of life. Being a second-generation city migrant, he has not yet acquired the urban garb completely, and still finds certain things beyond his perception. The novel, set in the environs of Hyderabad, Calcutta and Uttar Pradesh, gives a graphic description of life in the urban middle-class. The story realistically reflects the life and the struggles of Suresh. Will he be able to change the system or will he fall in line? An alumnus of I.I.T. Kanpur and trained at I.I.M. Ahmedabad, Ajay Mohan Jain has worked with a leading commercial bank where he got the opportunity to see life very closely through various phases and places. The entire revelation was so compelling that he "dropped-out" to pen this story down. He has been writing regularly - mostly on topics of general interest - for various newspapers and periodicals, but this is his first full-length work.
