Items related to Point Blank
Point blank is not about the young who make it to the IITs and IIMs of today's India, but about those who nurse ambitions and dreams in non- descrpt colleges and institutions of small- town India. Young men . Like the book's protagonist junaid, who try to balance their carefree and inconsequential lives in a mofussil colege, with growing pressures to mould themslves into 'products' that modern India seems to seek. Point Blank provides a no- holds- barred view of the lives of a group of students in Aurangabad who wrestle with their existential problems, related to studies, girls and growing fears of an uncertain futre. This is not a stry of metro angst, but of small- town blues. The book's portrayal of small- time desires and relationships is hilarious and also brutal, but leaves the reader mistry- eyed with an end that is poignant. Point Blank's India, after all, is the India to which most of us belong.
