Vihaan Mehta son of a successful businessman Vijay Mehta is expected to join business management course by default to take his father’s legacy forward. Instead he chooses a not-so-popular course in a college at Ahmedabad. He makes friends with Parth on the first day of joining hostel, not by chance but by Parth’s design as Parth needed a place to stay in that hostel. Parth a striking contrast to Vihaan is son of a tea vendor who had run his own tea stall and canteens and worked as a salesman before, now setups another canteen in the PDPU college premises. One fine day, fate mocks at both the friends as Parth’s canteen is demolished to make way for a new road and Vihaan has a nasty break up with his girlfriend Raina.As Raina spats in a fit of rage to not show his face again, Vihaan wants to have his face on the hoarding outside Raina’s flat. Parth being the faithful buddy, promises to make it happen, the catch being this hoarding is the most expensive in the entire city, should be strictly rented for an year costing a whopping twenty lakhs. How are the friends going to make that huge amount without even a degree to their credit forms the rest of the story.Zidd is the story of the stubborn will of two friends to get one of them onto a hoarding without any clue about how to earn the required amount. The author starts the story by giving a glimpse of Vihaan and Parth from their childhood, how they are smart even as kids in convincing people around them and in earning quick money. Vihaan not showing traces of his childhood spunk while in college was a bit disappointing for me until he and Parth decide to earn money for that hoarding.Parth’s characterization is the highlight as he has a ready hack and idea for every possible situation. His undying attitude and ability to turn around any challenge is what engages the reader. The thread of how Parth looks at life as a game chess with references to Queen and Pawn are interesting. The book is different from your average love story as it concentrates more on entrepreneurship, the reality and the required qualities for any budding entrepreneur like negotiation, original ideas and ability to think on the go.Pick this one to read the journey of two young boys who refuse to give up under any circumstances.
