2 states: the story of my marriage by Chetan Bhagat

2 states: the story of my marriage is light and easy read.Another book from Chetan Bhagat and he has done a good job in telling the story, in his own free-floating manner. Somehow, I could feel a connection with the book, owning to my Punjabi background. I could closely relate to routine incidents as  the lavish fat ceremonies, the expectations from children. The incidents have been narrated in an amusing manner.

2 States begins where Five Point Someone ends. After  IIT where he loves and loses the professor’s daughter – Krish ( Punjabi guy from Delhi ) meets  Ananya South Indian Tamilian Brahmin girl ) at  IIM-A to pursue his management studies.They both fall in love with each other but when they decide to get married problems starts rising as they both are from different cultural backgrounds so its a difficult task to convince their respective families.But eventually they do get their approvals and are married off to a wonderful life ahead.

The book is filled with loads of laughter and light moments. I will surely recommend this book , it might me just an ordinary love story but the way of presentation is what makes its unique and fun read.

Five Point Someone: What Not to Do at IIT by Chetan Bhagat

Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat is easy and fun to read book.

I  read this  long back and thought of including a review of it here. I had finished it in a day , was so addictive and I was so curious  as to know  what will happen next.I did see 3 idiots  which is film adaptation of this book and found that book was better than the film.

The book is about  3 freshers at  at  IIT, Hari ,Ryan and Alok who happen to become best buddies, all three of them are from different backgrounds and stick to each other in all ups and downs during their stay at the institute,their five-point something GPAs come in the way of everything-their friendship, their love life, their future. 

The book is a funny  narration of college student's life on exams, warden, love, sex and almost everything that a student would encounter during his/her college days. This is fun to read, it might remind you of your college days :)I would definitely recommend this book.
