If you remember the story of 3 Idiots — the journey of Raju, Rancho, and Farhan — you’ll find a familiar heartbeat in this novel. But this is not the story of a genius like Rancho who dreams of becoming a scientist, nor of Farhan who passionately follows wildlife photography.
This story walks alongside Raju’s reality — the life of a young man who steps into engineering not out of passion but uncertainty. Unsure of what he truly wants, he takes admission in engineering and somehow completes it. But his real struggle begins after the degree, the moment he enters the corporate world of manufacturing industries.
Here, his true "interview" begins — every day, every moment, fighting for a stable and successful career with limited skills, learning to survive among machines, expectations, deadlines, and overwhelming self-doubt.
In 3 Idiots, Raju and Farhan had Rancho to save them during their darkest moments. But in real life — who comes to save us when the climax turns against us?
This question lies at the heart of The Half Character.
