This book is a glimpse into the mind of a normal school going teen (for the uninitiated, ‘normal’ in the context of a school going teen means absolutely CRAZY!) It can be enjoyed by adults and teens alike! Most adults especially parents are clueless about teenagers and spend hours ruing about how teens talk, behave, dress up and even breathe! This book, offers adults an insight into the mysterious intricacies of how teenagers think, discloses the imperative behind their actions, and explores why they say what they say and do what they do! For teenagers, this book offers ratification that they are not the only ones suffering from the constant pressure to be perfect, and that they are not alone in their eternal quest to be accepted as sensible and mature enough to take their own decisions! The veracity of the contents emerge from the fact that the author herself is a 10th grade student who has lived through every emotion expressed, every idea explored and every dilemma discussed in this book. The contents seem random in their emergence, and yet are deeply interconnected, dealing with the confusions of a young mind, deftly woven together into an eclectic mix of humour, poetry and profound thought!
