Revolution 2020

Just another Chetan Bhagat book. The same old ingradients of love, friendship and drama.The story is a kind of triangular love story mixed with some politics and corruption. Gopal, Raghav and Aarti are the three main characters in this story. The story revolves around the city of Varanasi where the nation comes to throw away its sins. The place is described well in this story. As in his first book some references on the educational system prevailing in our country is well incorporated in this story.

All together just a time pass book. I must add another point, perhaps a thank you note to the publishers. For a book of these many pages, that too from the most read english writer in India, they can very well put a bigger price tag for this book, still they provide it at a fair price of 140 rupees. If you buy it from sites like FlipKart your can take it below hundred. Thank you  Rupa & Co.

The 3 mistakes of my life

The third novel from Chetan Bhagat. It again fails to create the magic of the first one yet it delevers a good value for money.

Like his previous ventures this book too circles around love and friendship. It neatly plots the story of three friends starting a business and the difficulties on their way to success. The epic test match between India and Australia is also included as a part of the story. The recipe is the just same, a table spoon of humour, a table spoon of love with another table spoon of friendship and a pinch sex and action.

The verdict is just the same. The book is just enough to spend your free time with a little smile on your face.

One night @ the call center

One night @ the call center, the second book of  "the biggest selling English language novelist in India's history" Chatan Bhagat.

This again is a story that mixes love, drama and friendship. Yet it fails to attain the charm generated by his first novel. Like I said early, may the author had used every good stuff he had for the first story. Yet this book satisfies its basic objective of entertaing its readers.

The story unfolds around the love affair of two call center executives which finally concludes on an unbelievable climax. Even the author had mentioned that his readers may not believe the climax of the story. Even you put aside the climax, this book stands much behind his debut work.

The White Tiger

The debut novel of an Indian writer Aravind Adiga which won The Man Booker Prize in 2008. It is the story of a village boy named Balram who beocmes an entrepreneur by killing his own boss. The story describes the depth of correption in our country. The author neatly describes the village in which Balram started his life in a way that we can visualise the locality. He descibes the mental transformations of the boy into grown up man who decides to succeed in the race of life.
Personally I feel that the story is nothing more than an average fiction. I still wonder how it managed to win such a prestigious award.
