Reviews for the First Book

 

Tushar has this instinctive ability to hold your attention with narrative deviations that illuminate disparate subjects ….the charm of campus life, pig-headed Professors, the advantage of sisters, the adventure of train travel in India, the joy of an early winter in Delhi ….What Raheja does is to very cleverly localize the Wooster persona. So English aristocracy, the idle rich, the lad sent down from Oxford, the young man with great expectations and little ability, the chappie whose only survival tool is a smart gentleman's gentleman called Jeeves — all this is turned into rich material for humour of a local kind ….Some of the humour is side splitting ….’
The Hindu


Reviews of Anything for you ma'am

‘Remember Bertie Wooster? ….the humour – most often arising out of situations poor Bertie gets himself into ….Anything for you, ma’am works on same lines …. Well, it would be too presumptuous to compare a fourth year IIT student Tushar Raheja’s attempt at witty writing to a classic Wodehouse, but he does manage to get some laughs ….a laugh-a-minute book ….’
The Times of India

 

Raheja writes a touching book about a young lover's story ….that engrosses the reader, with its high speed rather hilarious turn of events ….Amidst all the chaos are the sweet love moments ….be it their date or their telephonic conversation ….It is the story of a boy-next-door, which any youngster can relate to. Raheja moves back and forth in time, reminding of ace writers like Virginia Woolf and Amitav Ghosh ….’
The Pioneer

‘The difference lies in the treatment of the subject ….the narrative is devoid of lofty idealism ….the lingo and its texture is very close to what students use in colleges ….a good attempt by someone writing only his first novel ….’
Hindustan Times

‘Anything for you, ma’am is a delicacy of feelings with dollops of mischief and fun ….Infused with the sepia tinted fragrance of life at IIT Delhi campus and turbulent love terrain of tweeny days, the book is for those who are romantics-at-hearts and nostalgic about the good ol’ college days ….’ Society Magazine

With all the masala of a Hindi movie, the story has interesting plots, interspersed with humour, enough to keep you glued to the pages ….’
New Indian Express

‘The author smears Tejas’ life philosophy with a veneer of middle-class respectability and manages to bolster the book with the help of an extremely indulgent plot ….one must hand it to the young author for an enterprising race to the finish ….’
Deccan Herald

The story takes many intriguing turns. It has been penned in a language that is perfectly suitable for a story placed against a campus background, perfectly setting the mood and verisimilitude ….an enjoyable read ….’
Seventeen

‘As one goes through the book, there is just one feeling that a reader gets. The feeling that a movie is being screened before him, scene by scene ….’
Vijay Times
