It’s a good way to start the new series of Blog with something that I love doing the most. Reviewing books. And more when I have read a Chetan Bhagat’s novel. I have already read all the novels of Chetan Bhagat’s but the first 4 were read when I was not into this reviewing thing. I have read “The 3 Mistakes of My Life” yesterday as I had to watch Kai Po Che today. And because I don’t have a great memory I thought of going through the story once…
The whole Indian movie viewers are mad about Record-breaking actor-Salman Khan’s latest flick. Similarly, Indian readers are still busy in browsing, ordering and buying Chetan Bhagat’s latest book “What Young India Wants”. This is the first non-fictional attempt by the most famous Fiction-book author of India. Chetan Bhagat needs no introduction. Either he is in everyone’s heart for his books or for 3 Idiots or as a punching bag for the so-called “intellectuals” or as someone who tries speaking on every possible topic and create awareness. Chetan Bhagat is surely…
Whenever it comes to Chetan Bhagat, so many people have so many views. Many call him the Most Entertaining Indian Fiction Novelist while others thank him for releasing Toilet papers for them. If you ask about my opinion, I have been his fan from last 3 years. I have read each of his novels and I think my Fiction blog posts are quite influenced by his writing style. I don’t copy him but it is just that I admire him a lot as a Writer hence my Posts has some…

Publisher : Rupa
Revolution 2020 is a story of two boys(Raghav and Gopal) and a girl(Aarti), of love and hatred, of treachery and vengeance, of richness and poverty, of success and failure, of ambition and corruption, and of inner drive to bring revolution and succumbing to the lure of lucre. Three individuals whose lives begin from the same primary school in a small town of Varanasi, experience various life’s vicissitudes and handle them in their own unique ways attempting to find success…
At last, I finished reading Mr. Chetan Bhagat’s Revolution 2020. Being his fan, I have read his last four books with quite interest and passion. There’s nothing which can touch Five Point Someone. Reading it, many youth started scripting a book and they are successful writers today but still, no one has been able to write a better story than Five Point Someone. After that, CB’s One Night @ The Call Center came in the market and people…

It could be a little too early to predict, but Revolution 2020 may just go down as Chetan Bhagat’s best work since Five Point Someone. After that sparkling debut in 2004, to me personally his writing had gone down a notch. One night at the Call Centre (2005) had a cop-out climax while 3 Mistakes of my life (2007) had OTT sensibilities and was too ‘filmy’ for me. CB recovered ground with 2 States (2009) by picking an interesting semi auto-biographical account of his…

Storyline: Revolution 2020 is a story about 3 childhood friends Gopal, Raghav and Aarti. They have their own ambitions. Aarti wanted to become an air hostess. Raghav gets a rank in IIT-JEE and joins IT BHU. Though he joined in engineering, journalism was his passion and he wanted to bring a change in the country. Gopi’s only wish is to make lots of money. He couldn’t get into IIT in his first attempt. So he joins as a ‘repeater’ in a coaching centre in Kota, spending the…
“Six-thirty muhurtam,” the priest said.
“In the morning?” Rajji mama said, shocked.
Ananya’s relatives congratulated each other on the formal setting of the time. My relatives were aghast.
“This is a wedding or a torture? It’s like catching an early morning flight,” Kamla Aunty said.
‘If all fails with kin, touch feet,’ Krish advises.
I have loved Chetan Bhagat’s work. Always. Not just because he reflects the thoughts and emotions of the youth but for the fact that he gets across to all kinds of people irrespective of their political…
I am no die hard fan of Chetan Bhagat. Sure, I have read all his books and have found them entertaining. I have identified with many events of Five Point Someone and recommended his books to many friends. But his books did not have the raw resonance of say, Jhumpa Lahiri. That is before he came out with his latest offering, 2 States, the story of my marriage. This is undoubtedly his best till date. The simple and sweet boy meets girl love story has been presented in a wonderfully…

Chetan Bhagat is undoubtedly the most popular english writer of the country.His books are mostly light hearted-easy read kind of stuff which has attributed to his great success.(probably ,this might have prompted the writer to come up with his fourth book,hardly a year after the release of his last one.!)Anyways if i am asked to rate his 3 previous books on a scale of ten, i would give his first one Five point someone -seven ,the second-One night @call centre (which was later made into a…
