Nothing can be as Crazy… is a story of a typical service-class Indian, Suresh, who works in a bank. He is straight and conservative, and finds himself out of sync at every stage of life. Being a second-generation city migrant, he has not yet acquired the urban garb completely, and still finds certain things beyond his perception.

The writer, Mr Ajay Mohan Jain, an I.I.T & I.I.M alumnus, has beautifully captured the fun, the frolic, and the candid mischievous activities, especially of young Indian males of his age, which can also be correlated with the present age very well.  The plot goes on a roller coaster ride of breaking the inhibitions, exploring environments, understanding the real-life after college, adjusting with the people, realizing the ever changing colors of life and accepting that the life might not be a fairy tale but surely it is a story to be remembered forever.

The novel is an excellent ‘ready-reckoner’ for graduating students on the threshold of life, for officers, bankers and alike. The confessions of Suresh will find an echo in the experiences that several young men would have had in their lives. As Suresh walks through life, readers will find themselves in a set-up so true that every young man will find a Suresh in him.
