No Onions Nor Garlic

I escaped from office early today evening just to finish reading the remaining 100 pages of this truly hilarious novel . No Onions Nor Garlic , written by Srividya Natarajan is a total fun , comic novel with loads of I-dont-find-it-in-any-dictionary kind of words (since many of them must be "invented" by the author).

The story revolves around an orthodox professor Ram ( member of TamBrahmAss ;-) ) and his student, Sundar and loads of other characters who find themselves related to these people in one way or the other. Ram wishes to get his daughter, Jay married to Sundar and Sundar is in love with Jiva ,a backward caste girl. Then there comes few more characters and lot of permutations and combinations to add spice to the story.

An absolute timepass novel which made me ROFL in the later half and a bollywood style climax. Strongly recommend this novel if you are missing your daily dose of laughter. My Thanks to Harini for sharing the book
