That the Indian youth today is restless and wants to tread uncharted paths is no secret. They want to experiment, they want to explore; failure does not deter them.
Jayanth Gurijala, 24, BTech in computer science from Sastra, Thanjavur, author of Exotic Engineer Entrepreneur and currently pursuing his Master's in computer science from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, symbolises this spirit to the tee.
"I am open to all things in life… who knows I can become a farmer tomorrow," says he when asked about his future plans. But right now he is busy visiting university and college campuses across India to sell his book.
Sapna Book House, Bangalore has sold over 100 copies in a month and a tiny book stall at the Kempegowda Bus Stand, Bangalore, sold another 45 books in the same period, he says happily

As part of his marketing initiative Jayanth was in Mumbai recently when he discussed his book, his entrepreneurial zeal and what inspired him to write a novel with Prasanna D Zore.
