A Bite of Life

Sometimes we do things because it’s what society expects us to do,but in the end,what has to happen will happen,” believes Anurag Anand. The Mumbai-based author’s fifth book and third work of fiction,Reality Bites,centres around this idea. Launched Tuesday evening at Landmark,Infinity Mall,Andheri,this is a contemporary love story that tells the story of a young boy,Atul,who moves into a co-ed hostel and is immediately confronted by a whole new world. There are new friends to be made,scandals and rituals to be attended to,and of course,girls. And the latter is what makes the story. Peer pressure pushes him to find a girlfriend,but ultimately,he finds love in an unexpected place.
