I WANT IT (now that, should win me the Booker) by Anupam Dhyani, published by Rigi Publication, is a uniquely bold and delightfully humorous contemporary fiction novel that explores the extraordinary journey of an ordinary Indian teenager who dares to dream beyond all limits.
The novel follows Raju, a confused yet brilliantly hopeful young boy who believes that the easiest way to get anything in life… is simply to ask for it. Armed with innocence, unreasonable confidence, and a strangely inspiring stubbornness, Raju challenges the Man Booker Prize committee itself—setting foot into a world far beyond his imagination.
Spanning 226 pages, two countries, three cities, and over two decades, this novel explores profound questions:
What happens when someone wants something so intensely that they’re willing to risk everything for it?
Does destiny control human life… or does human will override destiny?
How does one keep faith intact when life keeps breaking it again and again?
Told with sharp wit, unapologetic honesty, and pungent humour, the book reflects the frustrations, ambitions, insecurities, and dreams of millions of Indian teenagers who grow up wanting “more from life.”
This story is not just Raju’s journey—it is the emotional, spiritual and deeply cultural journey of every dreamer who has ever dared to want something extraordinary.
Provocative yet relatable, modern yet rooted in cultural stereotypes, I WANT IT is a celebration of human desire, resilience and the unstoppable power of wanting something truly, madly, deeply.
