About the Book:
Five Point Someone is a story about three friends in IIT who
are unable to cope.

Three hostelmates – Alok, Hari and Ryan get off to a bad start in IIT – they
screw up the first class quiz. And while they try to make amends, things only
get worse. It takes them a while to realize: If you try and screw with the IIT
system, it comes back to double screw you. Before they know it, they are at the
lowest echelons of IIT society. They have a five-point-something GPA out of
ten, ranking near the end of their class. This GPA is a tattoo that will remain
with them, and come in the way of anything else that matters – their
friendship, their future, their love life. While the world expects IITians to
conquer the world, these guys are struggling to survive.
Will they make it? Do under performers have a right to live? Can they show that
they are not just a five-point-somebody but a five-point-someone?
