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.

Two States

Fourth book from Chetan Bhagat with the same recipe. He himself reveal that the story is a bit auto biographical. I Tells the story of love between a girl and boy from two different state and culture.

A Punjabi boy Krish falls in love with a Tamilian girl Ananya. They both wishes to get married with the consent of their parents. Krish's efforts to adjust to the likes of Ananya's parents is described well. Yet the musical concert which brings in big stars in the industry to sing with Ananya's mother was a bit hard to digest. May be that is why such stories are called fiction. Fiction has to be strange.

Though it doesn't reach up to the first book Two states is better the two of its immediate predecessors.

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.

Five Point Someone

The debut work of Chetan Bhagat perhaps his best entertainer so far.

The story can be best described by the caption given by the author himslef. "What not to do at IIT". Five point someone mixes fiction and reality in the best way. It also gives stress on the actual issues in Indian educational system that prevails even in glorious institutions like IITs. The story is humerous and it mixes love, friendship and drama superbly.

Being the debut work I think he could bring in all the best stuff he had with him. This is a good book to spend your time in a flight or train which offers you you tension free reading with a smile on your fiace.

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.

Tuesdays With Morrie

As the cover says the book is the story of an young man, his teacher and their last classes together.

This book is deffenitely going to inspire you in many ways. At the least we will defenitely think of our good old teachers of our past. The story outline is very simple. Mitch Albom who being reffered as 'Mitch' by his professor Morrie Schwartz (called as 'Coach' by Mitch), reunites after 20 years of seperation. Later on he makes frequent visits to his teacher on Tuesdays. Each tuesday Morrie discusses a new topic about life. The author gives us his idea of living a meaning ful life through the words of Morrie in very simple ways.
This book is a must read book for all the youngsters and perhaps the best gift you can give to your loved ones.
