The Bachelor of Arts is the story of Chandran. There are 4 parts in the book.
The 1st Part deals with Chandran's College life during his BA days. He is a average student but is known for his debating skills. His Friendships, Historical Club organizing and his planning and preparation for the exam are all part of this.
In the 2nd Part he is a graduate, but decides to wait for a year and then go to England for further studies. Friends move away for Further education or jobs. Chandran falls in love with a young girl Malathi. He does not believe in customs but has to comply and let his parents arrange the wedding. But the alliance is discarded because of Astrological issues. Chandran is heart broken.
In the 3rd Part he is desolate and depressed. He goes to Chennai for a change of air. But this increases his depression, he becomes a mendicant, disconnects with his family and wanders around. But at the end of 8 months of a swamis life - he realizes he is fooling himself and all the people. He decides to come back home

The book did not hold much charm for me.
