In Pursuit of Ecstasy By Sujata Parashar.

      In Pursuit of Ecstasy by Sujata Parashar is a book which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Reading this book really gives one the insight into how to deal with  the modern youth.
       The storyline consists of a group of modern youth who want to do  things without their parents knowledge. What they do is not what their parents want them to do. Afterwards they very cleverly convince there parents about what they are doing. The group consists of all good toppers in class. Sujata has all her  characters  Bengali with Bengali names.
        Each character is so vividly described so as to make reading interesting.Aparajitha, Deepanitha, Aniket,Siddhartha are a group of toppers
       Aparajitha and Deepanitha are good students they stay  after college for their dance practices without telling home the truth. If they tell their parents they will stop them  from attending dance classes.
        Sushanto  is the dance teacher and Ritesh is his brother. Sushanto teaches dance but at the dance performances he manages to smuggle drugs and pack them with  the luggage of the students and get them out the state for selling
      The  author tries to tell the readers that when one is in pursuit of Ecstasy be it dance or drugs one goes to any extend to attain the Ecstasy. Also it is a typical college life of students, they  make groups  and also form couples within the group.So also in this group Aparajitha, and Aniket couple up Deepanitha and Siddhartha couple up, here it is again the pursuit of love and its Ecstasies.
           So the whole book  is a lovely read showing the readers how people  go in pursuit of Ecstasy in different aspects in life. The spectrum is large, people vary from one degree to the other in pursuit of Ecstasy of different kind in life.
           The characters are described so vividly that it makes the read very easy to understand.
                     "Aparajitha looked at her plate and made a comical face of a daughter unwillingly doing a favor to her mother.She replied back mom, "I am already late besides I can't eat parathas everyday you are bent upon making me fat." shows  clearly that the youth want  to be in trend of what is in vogue at that time they convince their parents to agree with them.
        The book is a sure guide for all the parents who have college going children. So please read the book.
