Art of Bunking is a joyful, humorous memoir of college life in the 1970s-when friendships were loud, classes were optional, and bunking was a sacred art form.
A.K. Girisam takes readers back to the engineering hostel corridors where laughter echoed louder than lectures, last-minute exams created heroic panic, and movie theatres were the real classrooms of life.
With warmth and wit, the author brings alive unforgettable characters-friends who argued, studied, dreamed, fought, partied, and stood by each other. Every chapter captures the thrill of escaping class for a good movie, the terror of surprise tests, the excitement of hostel nights, and the magic of friendships that still shine decades later.
This memoir is a celebration of youth, nostalgia, and the beautiful chaos of college days. Anyone who ever bunked a class, shared a samosa with friends, or struggled before exams will find themselves smiling through every page.
