Five Point Someone

WHOLE SUMMARY I read the novel FIVE POINT SOMEONE .It is interesting it is about college life of three boy’s name Hari, Alok and Ryan .They are very interesting character. In this Alok are very quiet emotional and conscious about study. He is fond of study

and doing his assignment properly.

Alok’s family I guess was of limited means, which is just a polite mean of saying he was poor. His mother was the only earning member, she is a school teacher.Alok is very emotional person I guess because he have a paintbrushes in geometry box. Yes he has a geometry box

like

children

but

in

geometry

box

he

has

a

paintbrush of his father. His father was an artist but he is paralyzed now. And he took brushes in geometry box just

to

remember

father’s

moment

when

he

does

drawing. I think he is very good person .Ryan what I m say about him he is very broadminded and louder and not to afraid from any one. I think he is use of to live in Page 6

Five Point Someone hostel that’s why. Ryan’s dad had handicraft business that was essentially a sweatshop for the potters that made vases for the European market. His parents are regular traveled for business that’s why Ryan mostly lives in hostel or boarding school. he is brave because when seniors are come for ragging in hostel at midnight but he told to him this is not fun and he say “just get the hell out of here” to seniors . When Alok and Hari listening it they are afraid and thought is Ryan all right is he knows what he says to seniors. And Hari he is the writer of the novel. And what I write for him. He is very interesting as well as little bit conscious about study. When he got the test he got only 5 marks out of 20 and he is happy just think about it he got 25% and he is got more than Ryan. That’s all about it Hari. And I find it when I read the novel that ragging is not good thank God now the ragging is ban. In it they all are suffering from vulgar ragging. I think one of the senior is good by heart. Because when one senior tell to them off your clothes he says” let us talk to them a bit first.” But the first one is so ridiculous he suck the cigarette and getting fun when they off the clothes. And when Ryan get object of it then baku gave also abuse to them. But they are seniors and they do whatever they want. Page 7

Five Point Someone That is first day when they enter in college and in our lecture room .they saw the professor write MACHINE on the black board proclaimed in big bold letters. And the professor name is Mr. DUBEY he is around forty years. When he taught the class everyone gone be a silent. His way of teaching to the student is very simple. When he asks

the

question

to

the

student

that

gives

the

definition of MACHINE nobody gave proper answer. But he gave the simple answer that “anything reduces human effort “that is so simple everyone say who sit in the class. When all students gave example like car, spoon,

blender

he

gave

only one

answer

that

is

machine. He is not a strict type person I found it when one student ask an example that

love and Mr. Dubey

answered that is “for you will become the master of machine” I guess he also fun loving. And he tell the reality of the IIT that they all have to do well response otherwise he will not get job no school no future. At the middle of the term they all are concentrating on studies there are lots of assignments, lots of tests and lots of surprise tests. Now they all do well in studies. When one night they study together Ryan said “damn yaar we are in jail I want some rest lets go for a picture in priya.” But problem is appear when next day Mr Dubey Page 8

Five Point Someone take the test of ApMech

and the all are surprise

because last night he went on

movie and he wasn’t

prepare the lecture of ApMech. And its objective type question. And when they got the test they are surprised because seven is the highest marks in three of them. Ryan got the lowest marks then Hari got five marks and Alok got highest seven marks. But Alok was happy thought of that he get 25% and higher than Ryan. And Alok think he got 60% and they are happy it is funny but Alok are angry when they are in dinner table and too much use the word DAMN and angry on Ryan tell him why he say to him go for a movie . Ryan said I just want a rest for a while. I think Ryan was right but as well as Alok was also right .we should have a limit on the fun factor. Now Ryan realizes it and concentrates on study. Now Ryan is very polite person. Though their scores now closer to class average. Now Ryan feels that hostel room let him down. Ryan feel bore to continuous mugging,

and

doing

assignments.

But

Alok

said

mugging is pricing one pays to get the IIT tag. We mug we pass and we get job. But Ryan is not satisfied with Alok he anger on Alok and talk with him very rudely and call Alok stupid but Ryan is good by heart and care both of them. He asks to Hari you continuously study and sit Page 9

Five Point Someone and to go outside you gain lot of fat in your stomach. He said to Hari let go for a morning walk and loose ten KG. First Hari didn’t like it when Ryan said it but later on he realizes that Ryan was right. And he ready to go for a walk. They also told to Alok join them but as usual he wants to concentrate on study but this time he speaks very rudely with them. When early morning Ryan said to Hari jog around the campus, around four kilometer but Hari refuse but later on he go but in this time he felt drowsy and pitiful at the same time. But Ryan enthused just try it once. Hari want to be cheat and cut corners but he want to give a chance to Ryan at once. But Hari feel very tired and he stopped huffing and puffing and sat down bump at the knees. When he sat down a red maruti car stopped and Hari was afraid and stumbling he continued panting and thought that maruti car was culprit.

A female voice announced I m so sorry she is

Neha. Professor Cherian daughter and try to learn the drive. She felt sorry again and again. She took the lift to Hari and drops him in the hostel. When they are in car they gave basic interview to each other. And Hari about it to know that she was professor Cherian daughter who is the head of department teacher. But in car Hari like Neha barefoot a lot he saw continuously on her foot Page 10

Five Point Someone While she shifting the gear he feel sensing anxiety. And to talk with each other he came near the hostel. And that time Neha invite Hari for a treat of morning tea with snacks. At front of deer park outside from campus at the morning walk. Now they reach in hostel and she drop him and went from there Ryan saw the Hari when he went down from the car and he gave punishment to him and ask him to do push-up and pull-down. And the Alok and Ryan both of them demanded full explanation. But Alok tell ask to Hari stay away from her, given she was a prof’s offspring. Little bit of time ago and Hari was dying to meet her again. And he bumped into her and could feast silly at the sight of those two bare naked feet. Now the middle of the first term is came and Ryan parents send him money and he bought new scooter and when they take it in the hostel everyone want be ride on it. But only three of them going outside to ride on it. When few days are gone Alok got a call from home his father is serious and she want someone to take him to hospital. Ryan offered his scooter but Alok don’t how to drive it so Ryan decide to go with him and Hari didn’t want to be get alone and he also go with them. First time they seen Alok house it is has the barest minimum Page 11

Five Point Someone one would need existence. And Hari hired an auto and Ryan and Alok lifted his father into it. And went hospital they reached hospital at 3am. And next day he has a physics test but because of last time he couldn’t prepare it. This test broke Alok little bit. As usual Ryan and his arguments about system now he was started again. And how it possible if Ryan asked something for system and Alok didn’t give his views and they fight again. And Ryan asked “I mean this is supposed to be the best college in India, but has IIT ever invented anything? Or made any technical contribution to India?” and I think Ryan have a point the college would gave the project to invent anything. But in this Alok also have a point they said they contribute in making engineer. And for this argument Hari fed up of this and he tell to them go for food.But there Ryan and Alok argument again and again. And Alok finish his argument only few lines that is “I don’t know anything about system its good or bad for us but it gets me work that’s all I care.” now Hari really wanted to shut up both. And he asked lets go out for this weekend and they go for movie, lunch, and also check out some girls. And they go first they watched the picture as ordinary film like love story and which is full of action, emotion, and Page 12

Five Point Someone tragedy. After that he caught lunch and they are very happy to eat this yummy food. In between meal Ryan again started about mugging. And he said lets enjoy the life of college because these days never come again now Ryan continuous arguing again and again. In this I know that Ryan didn’t love his parent because they leave him in hostel when he is only six year old Oh man! his parents are silly how could they do that now I realize why Ryan is feel comfort in hostel and he also know how to enjoy the life when we are in hostel. And Ryan suggested to guys lets draw a line about study how many time they should study now they decided to study only two to three hours. And they try it for first semester. Meanwhile Hari saw Neha at campus bookstore, and he raises his hand to say her “hello” but she totally ignores him. And he feels that he was a regular sexoffender. And when he came out of the shop Neha tapped his shoulder and say hi now Hari ask very slowly is that Neha. But Neha have a reason why she not to say hello in bookstore, because shopkeeper know his dad for the last ten year and they talk regularly, and her father is so strict about boys. And Neha offer him ice-cream and tell him to meet in ice-cream parlor. In Page 13

Five Point Someone parlor they talk as simple way like now why you can’t come on walking, you are driving now or not. But Neha got her license and Hari was surprised to saw she write the name “ Neha Samir Cherian”. But Hari feel little bit jealous when he saw the name of samir in Neha license. And he couldn’t stop our heart to know about sameer and finally he asked the Neha that “Samir isn’t tat a guys name?” and she said yaah it is my brother name but now he also want to know why she wrote the name of his brother on her license. And he surprise to know that now her brother was no more and he was died with a freak accident. He was crossing the line and got hit by a train. Hari feel very bad to talk the topic of her brother. But after few minutes Neha cheerfully asked life goes on. And they again talk about regular routine. Neha jumped from her seat and said leys go it is very late. And when they was ready to go Neha asked to Hari with safely side she asked “aren’t you going to ask me out

or

what?”

but

she

didn’t

know

he

want

to

sympathetic touch her arm when she cry and talk about her brother. And now he got a chance to meet her again and he say yes and they decided to meet again in this parlor. And when they decided it Hari feel very shy and Neha noticed that and told him that” and next time, Page 14

Five Point Someone don’t be shy IIT boy, just ask.” And they leave from the parlor. They draw a line for study now everybody follows it. They study for three hours and now they have a time for playing games and go out for a evening walk. Ryan went them in a squash court he is captain of squash game in school time but Hari and Alok didn’t know about this game and they feel amberence when they didn’t hit the shot. And this time Hari argue with Ryan about game. At the end they drop the idea to play the squash now at evening they play chess or go out for a riding on Ryan’s scooter and caught movie and visited every

tourist

destination,

did

everything,

went

everywhere. But when exam was near Alok afraid little bit and he suggest lets concentrate on study and drop the idea of study only for three hours.

At the middle of

this they listened the news about war between IRAQ and AMERICAN. As usual Ryan and Alok are not satisfied with each other and Alok take a side of AMERICA and Ryan took the side of IRAQ. And they bet with each other whose country go to be win at the end America was won the fight. As a stupidity IRAQIS ate crow before ground battle Ryan felt sad and he didn’t eat for a day or so. At the end the exams near and he drop the Page 15

Five Point Someone three hour rule. Now they realize if they study thirty hours a day it is not enough for them. And finally the exam started and first day there have a practical and this is the only exam Ryan love most but Hari panic when he thought about viva his body going to be freeze. And they are in same group. And Ryan make a radio for major but Hari and Alok didn’t satisfied with this and want to make a new thing but Ryan managed it. Now the professor come here and put question about the circuits. Yes it is viva. But Ryan and Alok gave the answer confidently but when professor put the question to Hari he panic this part Hari most hate it. And the next day the theory paper will start and everyone study in hostel, lights remain on in rooms until dawn and the students consumed endless cups of tea in the all night mess. And day after day exam was gone and they feel that the worst was over through. And they wait the result and then the classes was started but no one join the class until the result will come. And after exam Hari met Neha.When they meet Neha angry on Hari because Hari call Neha’s home without take any permission from her. And now they decided to meet 11th of every month because on that day Neha’s parents are going on temple near by track where her Page 16

Five Point Someone brother was died first she also go with them but she was depressed when she go there so doctor told her not to go there and that’s why this is the safe date to meet with Hari in parlor. But Hari feel that he fixed a dental appointment on every month. But slowly-slowly she felt love with Neha and he is happy with Neha decision. And then they talk casually about majors and Hari like when Neha touch his arm in between talk. And he want to kiss on her face he got a chance when he bring out

the

wallet from his pocket he is very close to Neha even he also catching her breathe but he off the wallet and sat down casually again. But Neha realized that Hari want be kiss her and she asked but she end her talk to say never mind and they went off from parlor. Oh now the result day was came where Hari and Alok are shivering to thought of results but Ryan feel very relax and he not to worry about results. They reach at college where huge crowd are gathered to see the grades. Where topper would be close to 10, average was close to 6, and the Hari, Ryan, Alok got 5 point something which are closer to bottom. But Alok was not satisfied with his score are recalculated on calculated hope to miracle will be happen but all know no miracle is happen in IIT. But Ryan and Hari are satisfied and Ryan feel cool and he Page 17

Five Point Someone also want be celebrate their marks but Alok spluttered and he also gave abuse ‘F’ to Ryan the Ryan big smile now has gone from his face. Now he was in fighting mood. They fight argue and abusing to each other it is just for a marks. And Alok decided to leave the room and go in venkat room who is the highest scorer in class. Hari stopped him not to do like that but Alok abusing again and again and tell to Ryan that the all fault is only of Ryan he want only fun not to realize anyone’s problem and he started crying like a baby. When he abusing again and again even Ryan can’t stop him and let him to go. Now the group of them was split. And then Hari meet Neha again and tell her to story about grades and argument between Ryan and Hari. And first time he kiss on Hari cheek and said I like five pointers. And told to him lets go for a movie and Hari was so excited to go with her. And they decided to go with next meeting and Hari always thought about five kisses with Neha give to him. It was nice to Hari he gave space in his novel to Hari for express his feelings and it realize why he is so conscious about study. He belong to poor family first he was not like yet but after father accident and his father caught a paralyzed then there his only income source is his mother. And then he Page 18

Five Point Someone realizes that to do something for parents because his parents sacrifice for children most. That’s why he always argue with Ryan

for the system. In it he told

that Ryan is good person because when her mother for help to took his father at hospital he took his scooty and went to Alok home and stayed with them till 3a.m. with this thing the one year was gone and now Alok is not with Ryan and Hari .they both are five pointers but Alok study more with venkat and they stood up with six point. Alok and Ryan now find an insti roof it is above of nine buildings and they go there twice a week now they started sucking of cigarette vodka and all thing .they sip vodka and get emotionally share all thing which they have in his heart or mind. Neha and Hari meet in theatres .The first seen on the theatre was so embarrassing. It was a documentary film on “family planning” and the saw the whole process how to control on family Hari feel embarrass but Neha feel cool after that the movie will start and after movie they go for a meal. I their Hari tried to kiss Neha’s lips but now time Neha feel so irritated and pulled her back and small argument was held on there. After meal they decided to meet cannaught place for buy a gift for friend. At night Hari and Ryan was come from the mess Page 19

Five Point Someone and in coridoor they listening the arguments was come from the vankat room and Ryan listen them. The argument was about Alok’s father. He was not well and her mother want somebody to take him hospital. Alok pleased to vankat to go with him but he refused. Ryan open the door with his feet and said to Alok let’s go that is nice to Ryan he forget everything held on last year. But Alok feel embarrassed because ho left him just because of marks and when they come back hostel Alok said to them that I want to come back on your group and they all sentimental fool hugged each other and love together. Ryan held a party on his room he change his room light into red. They also have vodka , lime juice and some kind of drinks they called it mice party and when the half night go Ryan put the questions to everyone what you want from life and his stupid lecture about the system after that he was totally passed out because of vodka when he drop into the bed he said about the C2D theory he call it Cooperate to Dominate and pass out . Next day Hari was going to meet Neha with a gift but he have no idea what he will give to her. The Ryan suggests to make a lipstick box and write a name on it and they make it Page 20

C2D plain the Ryan theory about what to do or not he wrote down many of things like one would take the lecture and make the not an other were copy it. Divide the course responsibilities share lab.

When he talk about past as per nature of Ryan he argument with Neha also then Hari handle the situation and drop the Neha at home. C2D is working now they have lot f time bout films, lunch, scotter drives, cricket etc. But one day Ryan gave answer in front of professor Vohra. Ryan is so stupid he gave the idea of lubricants in design class. There are small fighting between professor and Ryan and finally professor tell to Ryan leave the class. But professor Veera understood it he gave the project to Ryan about lubricants and tell him Page 21

Five Point Someone to that he will take the permission of head department to use the lab things and finally Ryan is studied day and night even now he can’t go for movie or not to do any thing but only study and do experiments. Even he can’t go with Hari in Alok’s home for food. Hari go there only for food and he enjoy the food. But in between the lunch Alok throw his plate on floor because his mother was crying about daily routine and the solution of this is only more money. Now Hari face big problem they have no money and at December there is Neha;s birthday and Ryan gave him a cheap idea that they will go to Neha’s home and entered the Neha’s home through windows and everyone agree they go there. They climb up through

pipe

and

reach

Neha’s

room.

Neha

was

surprised to see him in a room. He gave the flowers which Ryan plucks it in Neha’s garden. At midnight they all of them was going from there but when they getting down Aloks feet touch the bucket and bucket fell noisily as Alok crawled through the grass loud enough to make all our whispers pointless and professor Cherian notice it and open the door with voice ”Who is it?” . And they all ran fastly as they and when they ran away Ryan yelled “Yours Father” as answer of professor Cherian. Page 22

Five Point Someone As per Alok’s speak Hari also gave space to Neha in his novel. In there Neha wrote a letter to his brother Samir. Who is no more? She told him about Hari and his friend. First Neha and his brother hate IIT students and also Neha

She tell everything to her

brother in this letter about date, birthday everything but she little bit hate

Ryan because when she meet

Hari he always talking about Ryan. There is a secreate in between Neha and samir. At last movement he wrote a letter to Neha which Neha never v told anybody and broke her more. Taking exam and dating with Neha one more year left. Now vodka is no longer a novelty. Ryan assignment was rejected by head of department. Hari was scared of viva’s and Alok is also think about life. They al wasn’t be happy in this time. Now professor Cherian taught them and he couldn’t be miss his class and he pretended to be good student and gave good impression on Cherian because of Neha. But as usual Ryan not interested and he follow C2D plan. As well the meeting with Neha is also going on. Now they go to walk date. Walk wit each other they reach a village Katwaria temple near the track of railway station. This is the place where Neha’s brother was dead. They sat on it and kissed to each other. Then Neha remember Page 23

Five Point Someone that day when her broter was dead. She began to cry. Hari want to be make a smile on Neha face. He saw some little bit naked children look them as they were watching a film. And Hari got a point he tell see in middle there is an Rveena Tondon three year old and Neha started to laugh. And then they came back to campus and adopted separate path. By seeing almost two year go and there is most of thing happening there. Now the fourth major was come as usual Hari was afraid of viva and Ryan suggested idea to take a vodka lil bit that he would speak out frequently in front of cheriaan and take good impression for Neha. But it happening opposite he panic again and can’t speak a word in front of Cherian either Cherian smell his vodka and tell him to leave the class as per he take 0 marks. Ryan feel very ashamed of himself even he can’t go there for viva. Actually he didn’t like professor Cherian and should’nt wants to attend his class. In between Alok got a phone from home that his sister gets angaged. Night in the mess they are talking about majors and Ryan told them to steal the paper from Cherian office for Hari that he got the good marks in majors and impress the Cherian. As per Ryan say they talking about the plan next day. Alok are afraid from it but finally they agree to do it. Page 24

Five Point Someone They call the plan “operation pendulum”. First Ryan suggested that Cherian office is on 6th floor and we reach in insti roof and hanging up with rope and reach through wall in Cherian office and steal the paper. But Hari feel that is risky so he suggested that w4e go through the door. And he steals the keys from Neha’s car. They could do that and they blithely cheered in unison,’operation pendulum‘. They always think about operation pendulum and they want to get keys that are why Hari want to meet Neha. But when he calls her he found that she caught a pain in her foot and she can’t be move. But she calls him at home on that day it was 11 and her parent was not there. He went there she took him in her room they talk to each other in that Neha open the secreat of her brother death. He is died only because of father. Her father want to be he took the admission in IIT but he is fail to do that and he fell ashamed of himself so he wrote a letter to her sister and tell her to say that I m going for a jogging .And she began to cry but in that Hari and Neha make a physical relation. After that he go for a cigarette in Neha’s car and he also successful to make a duplicate keys. When he came back to home professor Cherian front of him in on bicycle. Page 25

Five Point Someone Professor Cherian caught him. Hari’s body going to be freeze he have no guts to move inch step. When professor told him that it is my car than he gave the reason that Neha’s car tyre was flat and he just want a help to her. Then they go home where Neha open a door with only bed sheet on her body. Hari speak frequently there is your car madam. I was repair the flat tyre. But when he can go professor Cherian caught him from coller. And told him to stay away from my daughter. When he came back to hostel he told his story to both of them and they laugh on him. At that time Alok got a call from home that boy rejected the angagement and his father was shocked and can’t eat anything. Then they feel happy because they have a keys and they plan to get on the roof at 10 and do the operation pendulum. Now they work on operation pendulum first they check out all security guards where they was and then they all going on sixth floor in cherrian office. When they open the door they divided shelves for save time and finally Alok got the paper and Ryan open it carefully. but when Alok call at home operator saw the red light goes on green he know that somebody in professor room. He calls the guards and go to professor room .they all going to be freeze. but Ryan feel calm he call the guard Page 26

Five Point Someone and explain itself but guard cant listen anything and lock them in the office and go to call the professor. Now all professors are in Cherian office. They slap them and told him to meet the conference room for the Disciplinary Committee. They called it Disco. First professor Cherian thought he calls the police to catch them in the jail but professor Veera stopped him for the college reputation. Then they decide to meet them in the conference room. Next day the notice board has the latest news and the crowd gathering around it and everyone know three of them. They go ice cream parlor to hide him. In there they thought what the professor do with them and this time Hari is also crying. When they came back hostel professor Veera meet them at 9p.m. they suggest them to public apology and 100 hours of community service and suggest them to give you F in indem. Secondly twist the story and said Neha give keys to them but Hari didn’t agree with him. And third they told that Hari is boyfriend of his daughter but this will let the whole world know. But Hari feel so guilty and hated himself for agreeing to the story. The clock struct 10 and they were going to the departmental committee room. Page 27

Five Point Someone They all are in the room.All the professors sitting around them and put the question. But finally when professor Cherian asked how they could get into his office. As per they decided the story Hari speak it out but he is panic again as per Ryan told them tat Hari’s friend Neha give the keys to them. When all professor know that Neha is professor Cherian daughter they keep silent and then they put no many question and no more discussions and told them to leave the room and they will gave the decision after an hour. Then they all are going to insti roof and Ryan do stupidity on it.

It

was so late but professor still argument with each other. And when they listening the voice of scooter they went down and call professor Veera and ask the question what the professor take decision against them . He told them that they got F in indem and kicked out for one semester. And they need to stay until next year to complete the course. It was 5a.m. and Alok stood up on the Terries and he walked to the edge of the roof where Ryan had stood just an hour back. He continued to look down. He stood straight ,then one jump up and then straight

down in a half second he was out of sight.

Gravity had done its job. Both of them said to him just Page 28

Five Point Someone come back and let us go down but they do that with in seconds. And he is injured badly. Someone call the ambulance and both of them took him in hospital. They never went in hospital through ambulance. They are very afraid. Hari blood covered the whole white bed sheet. The twelve fracture was on his body. They think that he will die soon but doctor told them that he is fell down through his fat bottom that’s why he will safe and his four of front teeth was broke. And he is in ICU. They saw him and took a bus back to hostel. And whole way he talk about him. And realize that he is the only person who brought them to their books. And now as he lay there they didn’t have any books to study from. The hugged each other first time Ryan voice sounded like they were fighting back tears. As per Neha and Alok

Ryan also take a place in the

novel . in this firstly he talking about Alok’s mistake. If he not tried to save a bulk and make that phone call then nothing was happen. Everything will be all right. And he like Alok he fight with him, arguing with him, but still he like them. And Alok also get fun with Ryan. Because of his young age they always take care of his father in the room and they have no fun in his life. Even Page 29

Five Point Someone Alok like him whether Ryan not like his parents and didn’t accept the system, didn’t have sacrifice about fun. Ryan pushed Alok and went him so far. But I think he is angry with Hari he ask the question about his parent. Which Hari never talk about them. And finally Ryan asked to him what he in touch with what he wanted. He is surprised to know that Hari want to be like then Ryan. And want Neha. Ryan realizes that Hari may not live for others but he want to be like other. Two months are gone for their suspended semesters. And Alok come back to hostel. Now Ryan and Hari went him hospital regularly even professor Veera also go with them. And he greeted him when he come back hostel. And took out box from his bag and the box contain a Kaju Burfi which Alok all time favorite.

Comments on the book Bhagat’s writing is simple and clear. He writes in a comfortably

natural

style,

without

complicated

words, which keeps the narration lucid and easy to follow. His writing is also loaded with subtle humor, especially the one-liners, which are just awesome. The

realistic

characters

and

easy

language

undoubtedly make the novel interesting but there are places where it tries your patience as well. While the tone of the novel is humorous, it takes some dark turns every now and then, especially when it comes to the families of the main characters. The book starts with a disclaimer, "This is not a book to teach you how to get into IIT or even how to live in college. In fact, it describes how screwed up things can get if Page 36

Five Point Someone you don't think straight." This Novel also realizes us that the underperformers also have a right to live.
