Well, once again an entertainer from Chetan Bhagat. It is always fun to read his books, especially his art of telling stories, the Indianized way

 

2 States

The synopsis of the book says,

“Love marriages around the world are simple:

Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy. 

They get married.

In India, there are a few more steps:

Boy loves Girl. Girl loves Boy. 

Girl’s family has to love boy. Boy’s family has to love girl. 

Girl’s Family has to love Boy’s Family. Boy’s family has to love girl’s family.

Girl and Boy still love each other. They get married.

Welcome to 2 States, a story about Krish and Ananya. They are from two different states of India, deeply in love and want to get married. Of course, their parents don’t agree. To convert their love story into a love marriage, the couple have a tough battle in front of them. For it is easy to fight and rebel, but it is much harder to convince. Will they make it? From the author of blockbusters Five Point Someone, One Night @ the Call Center and The 3 Mistakes of My Life, comes another witty tale about inter-community marriages in modern India.”

 

You will be glued to the book till you reach the last page. The ending is quite known but still the twists and turns are interesting.

In this book, Chetan has covered the college life and work life issues, similar to other novels. 

As most of the reviews say, he has quite explored (exploited) South Indian culture…

The story reminds me of Abhiyum Naanum (Tamil Movie). It has a similar plot. Did Chetan saw Abhiyum Naanum and then wrote this book???

The story is very funny, just wanted to know what happened after…oops sorry I dont want to open the plot

I am sure you would enjoy the book like how I did.

Do enter your comments, of course after reading the book…
