2 States- The story of "my" marriage!

Ah!U guessed it WRONG! Am not a plagiarist!And I didn't copy the header from Chetan Bhagat;and this is definitely NOT about my marriage! C'mon! Am still single :-) This is a review i can say,about my favorite author's book - "2 STATES". :-) Eventhough am not too much into books (not even academic) I never skip a chance to read Chetan's works..I just love him;infact,his style of writ'n- It's so simple and interest'n..

So,lemme start with purpose. Came to see a promo of this book in MTV with Chetan appear'n in the show,i was so excited to read the book.From the preface,I had an idea that this would be like some bollywood movie which involved lot of drama and stuffs.Yeah,Chetan disappointed me a bit in his last work "3 mistakes in my life".It seemed like a script of some Ajay Devgn or SRK movie. (Hey,Aravind,I know I had a fight with u over and over on this topic-U said the book was crap and I never agreed,but now,I accept,it wasn't upto the mark,but not soo crap!)Anyways,couldn't resist myself from read'n this book even though I'm under exam stress.

Accord'n to wikipedia,the novel is a fiction, but is said to be inspired from the real story of the author and his wife Anusha who are from Delhi and Tamil Nadu respectively. Also,it is sequel to Five Point Someone.Oh crap!The Asshole Professor threatened Hari(FPS-Here,Krish) to screw his degree if he didnt leave Neha and got married to some other guy. :-(

Hmm..The book accord'n to me,was awesome! :-) The language as usual,is perfect for people like me. There was no much love mak'n" scenes",even though Krish and Ananya had lots and lots of it ;-) Ah,that myt disappoint some of my friends though ;-) The usage of Tamil words,and the way he mentioned the tamilian conversations with "something something" seemed funny!

The way he portrayed the Ananya is indigestible to a South indian like me..What i traced out was that the story took place in late 90's.This girl,who was a Tamil Brahmin,ate chicken,wore shorts in the college,slept in her BF's room,had beer and even sex! C'mon! People out here still fear to do all that,that too from such a family as u mentioned in the story,forget 90's!As far as I know,South Indians are still very much conservative! So all those seemed to be quite unbelievable and too much of an exaggeration! Any ways,there will be exceptions in every sort.Ananya might b one among them!

The funniest part- I always used to say my parents and friends that I'd luv to marry a Punjabi and this book was someth'n like a tutorial for me ;-) How the Punjabi families are,how to behave in front of them,what they expect,what to do and what not to,and how hard it's to manage these Indian families with different culture! "UNITY IN DIVERSITY"??? Holy crap!! I better quit;don't wanna take any risks though! :-(

So in short the book's worth read'n.. Get one from the nearest store and Enjoy!! :-)
