Finished reading the above novel lastnite. I have never read any of their work before until my friend Debanjan left the book with me after reading ,with his recommendation.Durjoy's work was passed on to Debanjan by Indro (My Bro) and i am a big follower of my bros ** though they don't know or may be they know ** ;)
The book was a reflection of moments from my life. Abhi, Saurav, Shruti, Garima.... were me at some point or the other.How these individuals came from different backgrounds and past ..meet at Silverman Financial with their new job and then become "Family". I could relate to the same because I came to Bangalore after my studies and had not many friends around. People whom i can call my friends are those whom i met in IBM. They make my life roll as Durjoy says '...friends can do wonder'.
I have already told them about the book that i was reading.
1st Aug 3:00 am when I finished reading the book,I slept with a thought of being connected. Today I woke up and after few search in Google found out the mail id of Durjoy. Just couldn't help :)
Whatever i wrote to him is attached below .

Sub :Just not any other fan mail :) Ahh im ur fan thou'
Hi D,
This is definitely my first ever mail to any of the authors I have read in my days at Jadavpur University or even later. I have never attempted or you can say dared to write to any author or celeb who has inspired me. But as they say ,there is always a first time :)
'Now That You're Rich .. Let's Fall In Love' is a book that my friend Debanjan gave me .He read it on his way to Bangalore from Kolkata. He had read your other books as well which i didn't and this book came with his recommendation. I started reading it once he left.
A cuppa and Durjoy in hand..that's what i tweeted :) **I guess** .The acknowledgment drew my attention for sure. No point talking about the Story coz i am sure you know the influence of the same on your reader by now. I loved every bit of it. I would rather tell you the impact of it.Your work got imprinted on me. ** Influenced by Eclipse "Imprinting on someone" if you have seen it recently** :)
Abhi. Saurav. Shruti. Garima.... were me at some point or the other. I am sure your other readers might have found similarities as well. Deb is the one who i wannabe in this Corp world that i am into. Daring and fearless :)
It was a fairytale ending thou but guess that's what we are all living with ... HOPE.
Running short of words . Will definitely give a better shot next time :)
Keep Writing ..and will go and pick up the other two books from Crossword.
P.S Have started following you in twitter and your book is my next Blog post :)
Regards
Priyanka
