I am reading it right now and I am pretty much in the beginning of the book, on like the 200th page or so. I am finding myself getting bored since nothing interesting has happened yet. Can I expect it to get better as I keep reading?

I assure you it's a good one, it might be tedious or boring sometime but you'd find some good episodes off and on. However, I found a section on politics in which I personally thought it was unnecessary but I still kept reading as a background, that is, for general understanding for other chapters. Vikram Seth's style is unique and he is one of some few Indian authors whom I read. One more thing I like the novel is its not too long chapters. Keep going and enjoy.

NO. It has a plot like an Indian soap opera and is written in a dull, plodding style. Abandon it and read something else.
His verse novel "The Golden Gate" was so much better.
