chilly winter ,bed ,bed cofee and a book !!


temperature has fallen to lowest level and i was restricted to my bed the whole day..

with a soft fluffy blanket i just couldnt get out of the hibernated state the whole day. to atleast make use of some of the time i decided to give a try on the so popular book by chetan bhagat : 2 states..

firstly some part of the economics i would like to mention about the writer,the book,and being the best seller..

the book starts with introduction of chetan bhagat as the author of 3 famous books( 5. someone,one nyt at call center and 3 mistakes)

5. someone worth being a bestseller but what about the other two.personaly reading 3 mistakes was a literal pain for me.but still the facts say its a best seller.
the main mantra lies behind selling a book in india at a dead cheap price of 95RS .

nowadays a pirated version of any book cost somhere around 80 to 100 rs..a brand new original one for a 95 bucks is a wild catch..it has potentialy more readers who chose the originals one as compared to other authors whose orignals are sold almst at thrice or quadruple the price of this book leading to more number of potentional buyers choosing the pirated ones..

ok enough of crap even i m one of those fools who kinda like these 95rs book...i even tried for a pirated version of this one in down town market but hard luck.. ;) . rather i got a 10rs discount in a book store..85 rs was an awsome way to spend a 7hrs of a chilly winter day in your bed


so finaly with some reveiws:
2 states: the story of my marriage


the book was a delightful comical ride about a typical indian love story to marriage between two people of complete diffrent culture .the story sets of with two people meeting in iim-a..
i tell u chetan bhagat never misses out in detailing about those extra special intimate moments with the gal. the story gives a fine detail about a typical tamil brahmin family and typical delhi based business minded punjabi family and clearly showcases every good and bad aspect of both the cultures.
humour was good with some good lines which you find in day to day life representing the INDIAN accent of english.


overall the book dint really grab my attention the it was with five point someone..maybe the issues this books was dealing was of a lil less relevance with those in 5 point but overall its worth the 85 buck i spent.
