Before you start reading this book, remember you are placing your heart on a roller coaster. This is a story of a guy named "Dev". By the 20th page of the book you are completely under Dev's skin i.e. Whenever his heart breaks, your heart does too. A few moments in the book are so emotionally high, I was almost crying and had to keep the book aside, go and punch a wall to make myself remember that I am a guy, especially when Dev's mom is in Hospital, his biggest mistake and break-up with Isha.
The twist and turns are quite good and are believable. The book doesn't allow you to expect anything to keep you engrossed.
After reading the book, you conclude only one thing 'Dev' is completely crazy and a made lover. The slogan "Not every story has a hero" is well understood only at the end while reading last few pages. Something which I found was a opposite stream.
I always like to read books of debut author as there is always something new like the story, concept, style of writing. There are no such bloopers which i could catch except for couple of them.

Error Code Love is a Triangular love story, oops sorry, it’s a quadruple love story.. Sorry again, ECL(Error Code Love) is a simple yet beautiful love story of Dev and Neera.
The story starts with Dev reaching Bengaluru to start life afresh leaving back all his past. He gets welcomed by his best friends, Rishi and Isha. Both were his engineering college mates, in fact Isha was Dev’s first official girlfriend.
So the story in short is somewhat like this,
It was during their engineering college days when Dev fell for Neera. But before he could propose, Neera was already in love with Neel. This hurt Dev’s ego, he then decided to show Neera that even he could possess a girlfriend.

review by https://www.inkoflove.in Let me clear one thing here that if you like '2 States' and 'Five Point Someone' but still have a cause to regret your amazon order of 'Error Code: Love', you should read the book twice and compare it with the former two, is anything missing? Surely NO! You are getting much more here!
'Error Code: Love' starts its journey in an aeroplane and just as it lands, we get ourselves reached in an awesome southern climate and cool breeze coming from some beach starts playing with our hairs!
With humorous but realistic 'golgappa' and 'private-engg-college' cases, Suman Bhattacharya certainly deserves a place in our bookshelves for his next book, if he writes any!
The awesome green color cover of the book attracts you to turn some of its pages, and yes! It totally justifies its tagline 'Not every Story Has A Hero!'
I know I don't have to reveal all the 'why'(s) and 'how'(s) here as you need something left to excite you that enough, so that you can grab your copy of 'Error Code: Love' !
With each statement of his ( I mean the protagonist Dev ), he tells us that he is a common man who lives a life like ours and have nothing dramatic and imaginary to tell, but his normal life with a few writable abnormal cases (usually it happens with each normal life, no?)!
At some places, the child author Suman leaves his immaturity but still if you are not to review it anywhere, you will hardly notice those!
With a must-read advice to all of you, I will congratulate Suman for his successful debut and will make his known that "I'll be waiting for your next hit!"

Error code **Love** a novel by Suman Bhattacharya.
Loved the way author ended up the story. Those beautiful, private conversation between Neera and Dev touched my heart ! Though plot was nothing new, I have already read many such stories before but in this story I felt connected. Its a story of love + friendship. Author has written this story with much simplicity and love ! I could feel d presence of author's heart in it ! Expressive writing skills, one can imagine each scene while reading. Letter written by Neera and Dev's Journal involved me much in the story. Perfect flow in the story could be seen without any confusion or abruptness! Overall a good read ! A smile will definitely hug your lips when you close the book!
My Rating - 3.9/5 keep writing. All the very best . :)

How do you feel when you come across a snapshot of your life in someone else’s language? This is a story of an unquestionable friendship, crazy love, shattered relationships, lost smiles, honest tears and all shades of life of a 21st century youngster.
Okay, best thing first! A software engineer that too from Kolkata has written his engineering college high voltage drama amalgamated with tinge of love affairs and I.T. sector of Bangalore. Uhh!!! There is so much to correlate!!
Considering a debutant, Suman Bhattacharya has done a lot well, certainly trying to compare him with contemporary writers like E.L James and Amish Tripathi would be questioning a pure personal writing style. Language is plain and simple, no euphemism, no exaggeration, no flowery vocabulary! While reading, initially I was missing detailed description of the world story passes through, but he proves me wrong as story proceeds!!
It is always fascinating to read something where you don’t have to force your psyche to imagine stuffs that you are never into. Kolkata, an engineering college, I.T. sector, failed love, I didn’t had to force myself to visualize the storyline. Bande ne to dil ki baat likh di hai har shabd mein! The writer has written every throb of his heart. He has tried to evince every bits of emotions in the book.
Story unravels with his arrival at Bangalore for his new Job where he happens to meet his college buddies. You can imagine playing a song “Kabhi jo milenge raaste, pal me hi chhalkegi hasi purani …” from the movie New York in the background. No doubt the book is pure Bollywood Filmy masala. And there is total imbroglio situation. Best friend, girlfriend who is no longer a girlfriend but an intimate friend and a lover. Then there is a villain and some recurring characters who help to put various episodes of his life together.
Almost each one of us has gone through those incidents in college that makes us laugh. How can one forget stupid acts in the name of ragging, like being asked to propose a girl, singing in front of whole class and mischievous acts to impress that particular girl in the college that later on one finds an utter foolishness? We all have one best friend who cares for us more than our parents and one female friend who appears to be our girlfriend for everybody but us. You must be twitching your palm and your head after reading this. To add a little bit more to that, we all have had wrangle with this best friend for a girl sometimes in our life.
Suman has appeared with a very good love philosophy. “Boys can be more manipulative to get a girl than politicians for their chairs.” How realistic, isn’t it!! Then he has tried to touch social media psychology, the dilemma of to be or not to be and why is she ignoring me.
Suman, being Dev in Error code love has exemplified that everything is fair in love and war. This Error Code is a cheat code for love. Oh! How I miss something that I couldn’t do in my life. I was not playing right, love is something you need to play right, but you never know when you starts playing wrong. Intermittently story flash backs to his college life through his journals and brings some wounds, tears, smile and those dark facets of love that we have seen somewhere very close to our lives. Character of Dev seems unexceptionable yet its remarkable depiction has made it other-worldly. He can be your alter ego if you have been a normal young adult with a college degree. Rishi is a friend with familial bond whose parental caring is too much to tolerate and sometimes we might run into skirmish with him. Isha is next-door ideal girl who can be best life-partner but everyone fails to see her as that and she becomes just a mediocre. Neera is the one everyone is crazy about but except the one, everyone sees stains of character in her. But a little character Prabhu seems stronger than all of them. It gives strength to Dev and works as a catalyst in the story. “Amma says if you make such a mistake never leave it like that. You should try and fix it.” Some friends are always there for you, no matter what the situation is, no matter how you are behaving. This books teaches a primal rule of friendship and relationship that is elixir to monotonic routine life in this I.T. age.
When things are sorting out, there comes a devastating truth that today’s youth is facing. How difficult is it to manage family and work life away from job. Most of us who are working for MNCs or in I.T. sector don’t have any other option but to either stay away from family for better salary or accept a compromise for family. Either way some sacrifice is inevitable.
I should stop writing down about this book, but I am finding difficult to slake my finger’s craving thirst to write and write. God, I am about to finish but it definitely touches my nerves specially Rishi and Isha. Isha is the girl you will definitely fall for, I have already fallen. Take it for granted! It is said that love is insane, an utter madness, I too have felt, actually it is beyond insanity. And the last thing, “Whether you gain it or miss it, you will try for yet another 100 years and make same commitments and mistakes to get that one moment back.”
MUST READ if you have loved someone, if you are a young adult, if you are away from home working, if you value true friendship, if you love your parents, if you have committed mistakes in your college life and more importantly if you are from an engineering college.

By Suman Bhattacharya. Grade: C.
Only a few tales have the main protagonist portraying a character with a generous dose of grey shades and fewer so, with him failing to be a likeable character. Unfortunately, ERROR CODE: Love is one of them. With its CONSTANT peppering of incorrect grammar and the nosensical non-linear timeline, I can’t even begin to list all the reasons it let me down.
Dev, an engineering student, falls head-over-heels in love with Neera, the college trustee’s daughter. For two whole years he watches her from the sidelines, maintaining the ‘we are good friends’ status. Not once does he confess his feelings for her and remains mute when she gets involved with his arch-rival, Neel. Feeling vengeful, Dev decides to do something extreme. Instead of doing something Neanderthal-like and engaging in a fist-fight, which the reader still might have justified, he decides to put his ego first and proposes to Isha – one of his best friends who genuinely falls for him and loves him deeply. In doing so, he hurts every person around him including himself. The only saving grace in the story is Rishi, Dev’s friend, philosopher and guide who’s always there for him no matter what.
Fast-forward four years. Dev lands a JOB in one of the posh IT firms in Bengaluru where once again he faces Neera, this time as a fiancee of Rahul’s blood-sucking boss Bala. Once again he pursues her in vain, MORE so for his ego than the fact that he loves her. Sorry for being a romantic, but I believe that when you really love someone, you set them free. On the other hand, Neera is the adorable, can’t-make-up-her-own-mind damsel in distress we’re supposed to sympathize with.
Finally, after what seems like ages, the story ends with a happy ever after, and even you’re happy – because finally the ordeal that this book is over. Terrible, immature characters doing selfish things to satiate their ego in the name of love, and even worse grammar. Maybe this book would be a hit in Bollywood, or with Chetan-Bhagath-readers but I’d advise you to give it a pass.

Wow , Suman , what a great story ! Living life in a moment, taking momentary decisions can take severe turns in life; can take a life from a certain level to an entirely different complicated level. We hide emotions, ignore them, resist ourselves from living in the moment, but forget that life is all about those moments only. If we want something, we just need to go for it. Learnt so much from ‘Error Code: Love’.
So much we resist ourselves from doing what our heart says, and our decisions get influenced by what other people do or say. Expressing our feelings is very much necessary in life.
If not expressed, it remains suppressed forever and then the feelings die and an entirely different person comes out of us.
But somewhere we do wish and hope to be happy, somewhere we want to go back in past and rejoice those moments again and get momentary happiness from that past even if it comes along with the remembrance of pain and hurting.
Life is all about that moment, yes, say it, express it, and confess it at right time; it’s never too late though. ‘Error Code: Love’, a perfect mixture of friendship, love, ego, jealousy, enmity, obsession and lots of more feelings; less of fiction and seemed more real.
True friends are difficult to get. Its either you have them and you don’t realize their importance in your life or you lose them and then you realize what are you without them. True friends can be real saviors.
Life is not about just oneself, our life has so many lives attached to it. Error Code: Love tells what love is all about. It’s not about being perfect or loving a perfect person, it’s all about loving the imperfections in the person loving us.
Realizing the importance of that moment and acting is really important in life. Finding the person to love you along with your imperfections and loving that person with all his imperfections is all needed for a satisfied life.
Learnt so much from ‘Error Code: Love’. Suman, I congratulate you for writing such a great story. Touched by your writing. Greatly influenced.

The fiction ‘Error Code- Love’ written by Suman Bhattacharya is a love story starting in the backdrop of an engineering college in outskirts of Kolkata. Campus studies, friendship, peer-pressure, competition, love-triangle, jealously and consequences associated with all factor are the subjects well crafted in the novel. The writing style of writer is simple, real with mix of humor and wit. While reading reader often feel in college, going through all happenings as parallel.
We all know, love is stupid, love is blind, love means slowly losing your mind, still we fall in love and lose our mind. Dev is one such mad person who is completely smitten by his college mate, Neera. Now, twist in story is, Neera loved someone else. The rejection from Neera didn’t go well with Dev, so to take revenge he pursued his friend Isha and portrayed her as his girl friend. On contrary to his intentions, Neera was happy to see Dev and Isha as couple. Then one unfortunate day, during final year of college an impulsive action by Dev resulted him a yearlong expel from college.
Though the incident affected Dev, indirectly cleared things among Isha and Neera. Rishi, Dev’s constant friend remained by his side in his thick and thin time. After few years, sorting all his life’s problem he moved to Bangalore with Rishi in one of toppest IT company. But life is strange and queer. Incidentally he come across Neera, again, just to know she is engaged to Rishi’s cruel, blood sucking manager. Now, to know would Dev be successful to save Neera from Rishi’s cunning manager or again be trapped in same danger as Neera brings to him, if he’ll lose all his close relations in the process, you have to read ‘ERROR Code- LOVE’. And before I further reveal any detail on the novel, Error Code-404 is encountered. I’m sure ‘Suman Bhattacharya’ has taken further writing access from me. I’m checking on my reading and writing access, you please find out the suspense.

Error Code is an interesting story that has twist in every chapter that keeps the readers glued to its pages. I would recommend it for every young generation’s especially for engineering students.
It reminds one of collage days, campus, job, struggling for existence in new place, friendship and love. Every one has a story of their own but while reading this you should be able to connect your own stories.
The picture of each character is much vivid as if I can see them in front of me. What make it more interesting are the conflicts. It gives us the message that instead of shying away from problems, tragedy or betrayal and saying why me we should have the courage to face it.
The story blends the good and bad, pain and pleasure, laughter and tears in different shades. Especially it emphasizes that love is not confined to having a handsome all-rounder boyfriend who can propose with roses, or the one who is running behind wealth and can afford every luxury in life but the one who truly cares although being imperfect and true love always finds a way at the end.
Thanks Suman for presenting such a wonderful story. A super like from me.

One book, that I read after a long time by a debut author, which seemed unputdownable is Error Code. The author has done a great job in capturing all the emotions of a persons life including love, betrayal, friendship, family etc.
written in a very picturesque form, I would personally recommend this book to every teenager. Unlike the other one time read books of these days, one can read this book over and over again and wont be bored.
dedicated to the teenagers of today's time. This book is a must read..

'Error Code Love' beautifully narrates every emotion of Dev towards Love and Friendship. The bond that Dev shares with Rishi, Isha and Neera; are Totally different from each other but still so strong in their own sense. Author amazingly describes the flashback of Dev and his decisions while the the story is going on in the present scenario.
The twists in the story.. The memories of college days.. The decisions made to chase an impossible dream.. makes Error Code Love worth reading!

A book with a lot of twists & turns ( I seriously mean A LOT) & triangular sorry quadruple sorry Pentagonal Love Story . It is a story of Dev & Neera who talk-fight, talk-fight & finally come together in roller coaster turn of events. Between being happy for Dev & Neera, we somehow feel sorry for Isha though.
If you have liked other Indian Love Stories, go for this one. It will not disappoint you.

It sucks big time! The writer hardly knows his English. The story might be emotional and shit but the way he's written make you sleep 10 pages into it.

A comical story of love and hate between friends.. Story is being narrated by the protagonist who himself being the antagonist of this story.. Narrative, though filmy, was good and one can relate to their own self at some stage of the story or the other.. A nice little breezy read

Reading it was a total waste of time. Wish I hadn't picked it up in the first place. Kindergarten kids construct better sentences than those in the book. Awful abuse of grammar too.

Best love story ever read.I wanted the author to write more books like this.

'Error Code: Love' a novel by Suman Bhattacharya released with an unique title. Of course it attracts you when you read such titles of books. I wanted to read a book which is not written by Chetan Bhagat and Ravinder Singh because I knew only them as famous indian authors when I started reading novels. When i finished reading almost all the books written by them, I googled for some best-selling authors who have written in the genre of Young-adult fiction. With The plenty of searches I added this book's name in the list of books to read in future. Well I'll talk on this topic more in the end. First, I should come to the review.
'Error Code: Love' is an inspiring tale of loyal and unfaithful relations in which one always got hurt by other one. As the tag line said that 'Not every Story has A Hero' and you will find it correct. 'Dev', the protagonist was never a Hero in this story. He was just a shy guy who got totally embarrassed in the first encounter with a girl called 'Neera'. He didn't know how to talk to girls and the same person ended up being in love with her. However, he wasn't loved back. It is the worst thing which makes us insecure about love. You should not expect from someone whether you will be loved back or not. But everyone has the expectations. And when these expectation were never became satisfactory, Dev ended up doing something horrible which snatched his not yet built carrier, faithful friends and one sided love from him. He lived a poor life. However, one may attempt suicide in this situation but Dev didn't. He lived alive with guilties sorrounding him. Time is not friend of anyone. A Clock can't reverse its time back by 24 hours. In just 24 hours he lost everything.
Crazy lover Dev, who always screwed up big time, anyhow moved on. Four years later he got a job. His good going present made him remember his dark past when he saw Neera after a long gap of four years. He didn't know anything about her from last four years and he didn't care too. But somewhere in his heart she was still there. He again fell in love with her. Destiny offered him a second chance. How Does Dev's mistake represents a black spot? A spot which can't be healed? And even if you try to heal, it will lose its dark side and become brighter. But it is still called an unwanted spot. Would he be able to brush his mistakes and get the love of his life? An epic journey (Error Code: Love) is waiting for you to cross the path of Friendship, mistakes, jealousy, obsession, redemption and 'love'.
Suman Bhattacharya has shown the feelings of a young progressive boy who is struggling for study, carrier and love. And became a person that he never imagined in his stress free life. The description of impactful relations which affected his life either in good or bad way makes this book a worth read.
I was about to say something before reviewing this book but I made me stop because I was reviewing a book. Now, I am done with the review. I should say now.
If you find this book, you will find an author, a friend and a guy whom you like to follow. His name is 'Suman Bhattacharya.' You are lucky if someone tells you about this book and you just started reading it. Well, everyone is not that lucky. They have to find their luck on their own.

A story which certainly reminded me of my engineering days especially till page 160 , I won't say that this book is a page turner but surely you can go on reading to know what happens next as the narrative style is pretty simple and easy to read where many incident connect to anyone's day to day life during college times.
On a personal front this book is special to me because in real life I know someone whose character reflects very similar to Neera and off-course I loved reading about Bala with the humor added in between the story makes it more interesting to read.
Wish all the very best to the author for future works cheers !

Well, the book took its pace quite soothingly. Many times, It made me sit in bed laughing, especially during Rishi and Dev melodramatic talks. But Dev, he was never confident. He never expressed his love. He just wanted her to feel it, how could she. That's a bit rude.
Dev, all the time, made himself appear as villian due to his own inferiority complex. He was a backstabber. This story amused me in every page what would come next.
But, thanks to god, hr finally got her to bring him to normal again. Nice love story, you've wrote. thumbs up to you, Suman.

A must read book. The story is amazing and it is so interesting that I couldn't help but read it in a single go. While reading I could visualize each character of the story, as if they are real in life. I would recommend this book to everybody. I bet you are going to like it. Congratulation Suman for this excellent debut. Waiting for more to come.

This is a love story with so many twists & turns in between the pages.I love the way author did justification with all characters although the story is like every other love story,there is nothing new but what keeps you bounded is its narration with full of comic & situational punches.Its a light humour with all masalas of friendship and love

I've wanted this been since I was 15, I don't know how I came cross it but somehow i did and I didn't get it til last year.
I can definitely relate to the characters whoever, it dragged with me and the ending was such a cliché. The writing style wasn't great either. I probably would've love it if I read it 8 years ago but reading it, I'm thinking it could've been done better.
