The Ineligible
Millionaire by Tarun Varshney is a contemporary fiction that tells a tale of a
young man named Arjun who rises to the status of notable eminence despite being
consistently bogged down by some or other problems in his life. The book,
through the voice of Arjun, tells us as what it takes to rise in life. As the
story opens, we see that the lead character Arjun is an engineering student
struggling hard to get placed in one of the top IT companies of India, like
Wipro, TCS, Infosys, and so on.
Arjun is good
at studies, has good grades during engineering, but still unable to make to the
companies because in 10th and 12th he scored less. If you have attended the
placement interviews in your college, well you can understand the plight and
situation of Arjun. As in India, it is a kind of set rule to have good marks in
10th and 12th to get placed in a good company. But the matter of concern is
what if someone couldn’t score good marks at school because of some family and
social issues, so it means the opportunity is missed for lifetime. As you read
the book, you will get to understand that Arjun who suffered the same fate,
didn’t accept it, rather he challenged the system and become millionaire in a
set duration. The book is about his journey from college days till he becomes
millionaire. In a sense, it is an inspiring story.
Other than
Arjun, we have other interesting characters like Raj and Shreya. Raj and Arjun
are best friends but they have to go through the test of time. And Shreya is
the crush of Arjun. Will Arjun and Shreya meet for a happy life or something
else is written in their destiny?
Without giving
much we can say, if you love success stories, feels like to rise to power and
wealth, then this is your read. Though this is the first book of Tarun, yes it
is well placed and the story moves at a brisk pace. You can convincingly read
260+ pages in one sitting. The author has used simple yet engaging narration
technique which further enhances the charm of the book.
