Hi there....Hmmm...Been away for long....one hectic week of travel to attend two of my close friends marriages.....one bout of sickness and Iam back on track......another book of Chetan Bhagat.....This book is more on a serious note but yet fun to read...amazing the way a blend has been created of the three Indian fanaticism - Cricket, Enterpreneurship & Hindutva(read politics)....gripping storyline from start to finish....even the turning points in the story are so very well embedded into the flow of the story that it gives you the feeling of real time action happening in front of your eyes as you read......one more good book from Chetan....captures the life of three buddies through thick and thin of their business, their challenges and triumphs...you may feel the narration going haywire mostly towards the end but still I will give a thumbs up for the book.....adios folks
Hmmmm....as promised I am back after finishing my second book by Chetan Bhagat.... Yes I know what you guys are thinking.... pretty fast eh!... I like his style of writing... well another narration by Chetan about being an IITian.... but I would like to say here that every student undergoing a professional course passes through a similar phase as described here..... Three guys Alok, Ryan & Hari get into the prestegious IIT to etch out a future for themselves...but are aghast (atleast Ryan feels) when they realize their life will be a routine for the next 4 years minus the simple joys of life....some creative ways to beat the system....and they end up just short of being deprived their degrees.....the description is so real to life.... I appreciate the authors ability to connect all emotions (friendship, love, parents, joy...) in a single thread as he builds on the story.... well yet another good read....hope to feel the same at the end of the third book "The three mistakes of my life"......adios
Hi again... I am excited about writing this post.... second book in a row which has actually brought back my interest to read books....I mean the demeanor of the book is so simple but yet energetic....I read it like a marathon....when I actually finished it was 4am..I guess that is when the shift at a call centre ends :) ...the storyline is very continuous and racy....like you don't feel like dropping the book before you actually read the last page.... "Change we can" (Hail Obama for coining this) applying to the writing scene in India..... language easily understood, plot is local or desi, good mix of emotions..... all in all a superb read......The plot revolves around these call centre agents Shyam, Vroom, Priyanka, Esha, Radhika & Military Uncle, their upheavals in life brought to the fore using humor and ofcourse not to forget the typical highly educated but dumb boss Mr. Bakshi (atleast I could relate to the incidents described) ..... "HELLO" the Salman starrer recently released is actually inspired by this book....guess what, I bought the Chetan Bhagat triplet in a good deal I thought...my next read is Five Point Something... adios
