The Blurb: Would you give up your high-paying job and comfortable personal life to drive ten thousand kilometres across India? Just for fun!

Three twenty-somethings dare to do just that! While the two guys take turns to drive, the girl gives voice-over as they record their entire journey on a handy cam.
Ab, Sasha and Unnati are ordinary youngsters, rendered special by the feat they accomplish. As they recount their adventures, I crave to live their journey all the more. They look at each other with a glint in their eyes, as if refurbishing those memories, as they narrate their spooky time at Bhangarh Fort, strange escapades at Wagah Border and Sundarbans, car breakdowns, wild animals, near-death experiences and highway robbers! It's nothing less than crazy.
I doubted if I'd ever have the gumption to create such experiences. So I did the next best thing - I penned a book about them, and their road trip.
Colorful Notions is a journey of three young hearts on the Indian terrain and into the inner recesses of their souls, giving a new perspective to relationships, love and life.

The Cover: The cover page itself tells the story a bit: bright sky with clouds, the very important white eco-sport and obviously the travellers.

The Book:
'Colourful Notions - The RoadTrippers', It's the title which attracted me to this book.  The author did not waste much pages and very quickly but swiftly moved to main story line - the journey. I absolutely loved the friendship between Sasha and Ab. The cute but a realistic love story of Sasha and Unnati is also worth reading.

What I Liked About The Book:
1. Language - The language used by the author is simple and very casual. I think its suited the theme well.
2. Travel Details - Almost all travel requirements like finances, stay & rest, fun, route map etc have been taken care of.

What I Did Not Like About The Book:
There are few chapters which had more scope for detailing. For example, chapter - 'Spooky Night' did not appeared much spooky to me. The author choose to write only one incident of paranormal activity in the very famous haunted fort.

If the wannabe travellers think of getting a moral boost, the book can solve it a bit. Mohit Goyal has done a decent job in penning down the fictitious journey of youngsters. It's a nice and light one time read.
