Neetu Banga Launches Her Debut Novel

April 27, 2010 - PRLog -- Where does a teenager, who feels ignored by her busy-with-their-careers parents and brother, go looking for company, friendship, and love? Does she get it online in chat rooms? Why does she suddenly find herself in trouble with a blackmailer and how does she finally get out of it?

This story of the peppy protagonist Arushi Walia is explored in Neetu Banga’s recently launched novel. “Sugar N Honey”,  (218 p, Rs. 198/-) takes the readers on an extra-ordinary roller coaster ride of the life of an ordinary, urban teenager through its thirty one chapters.

“It describes the characters just in the fashion in which you can identify them with people around you. Whether it is the confused teenager or career oriented, working mother who gets guilt pangs about not spending time with her daughter, but cannot throw away her life either. The distanced couple, the extra-marital affairs, the online love, all of it has been taken from a slice of life around us. Author does not shy away from adopting the sms-and-chat-lingo of our time when she sees fit. And those conversations are so convincingly real, you would think they have practically been copied from actual chat sessions amongst people,” says Swati Sinha, freelance writer and editor.

Neetu Banga is a structural engineer by profession employed in Delhi with a reputable organization. She has numerous technical papers, topical articles and letters published in engineering journals, dailies and online publications.

“We feel really happy that authors like Neetu are using our platform to bring out their creative sides,” says Abhaya Agarwal, co-founder of Pothi.com. Copies of the book can be purchased from Pothi.com’s online store. Details about the author and book reviews are available at http://neetubanga.com/
