The 3 mistakes of my life!- What was Bhagat thinking?

When I got to know about the launch of 'The 3 mistakes of my life', I wanted to pick up the book ASAP and why not when the author is Chetan Bhagat. Although I din't like One night @ call center much I thought the 3rd book will definitly have something different.



Well, I guess I expected too much.... When I started reading the book, the prologue was quite filmy but I still had hope... But I was disappointed... rather highly disappointed. I mean what was Bhagat thinking... true that people swear by 'Five point someone' when they talk about humour n wit in a novel which can be like by all age groups but I think he took his readers for granted this time...

The book starts with Bhagat recieving an email in Singapore from a businessman who was gonna attempt suicide n how he goes to India to find out the whole story... Set in Gujarat, book talks about the life of 3 friends and how they cope up with different situations, how they come through an earthquake, riots n more. Filmy to the core I say... Govind Patel the main guy has this thing in mind that he is a businessman by mind n heart n talks his 2 other friends into opening a cricket shop. Everything works out well, they earn profits and then suddenly the tragedy strikes. Meanwhile, Govind is romancing his best friends' sister (who I must say is quite bold in the relationship) and making out on the terrace of the girl's house. Uff!! reminds me of a Emraan Hashmi movie. The books ends with how the 3 friends save a boy in Godhra riots, Ish finding about Govind and his sister and the fiasco after that.

I think with all the scripts Bhagat is writing for Bollywood and his former two books being adapted by film-makers, he has taken this filmy fundas a tad too seriously.

So, if you have already read this book, then I know how you feel and if you haven't then please take this free advice for once, don't waste your time. The book is not worth it! (Imagine I finished reading it in 3 working days. And the worst part is that I have an exam this Saturday but I cut out on the study time to finish this book. Stupid of me I say!)

I just hope Bhagat realises soon and concentrates on one thing either writing novels or doing the bollywood thing- the scripts and adaptations of his books.

Chow!

Love rules!!

It is amazing how life can take turns n you can be left wondering about it.. This first blog comes from me after I have come back from my cousin's wedding... Had an awesome time... total masti. Weddings up north are known grandeur, lavishnes, glitter, food, dance n much more... but in this wedding it was the Ladkewale who stood out... their simplicity, dressing (a total opposite of Punjabi dresing style), customsn their punctuality took the cake.. The wedding couldn't have been any better than this...

Talking about the bride n the groom... well what can I say... They looked damn nice...

Past few years in my maternal family everybody was wondering when will Neha (the bride) get married... n one day (when I was in Mumbai last year) i get a call that she is getting married and Keshav (groom) n her met over the net... i was like 'ehxcuse me!!!!' does this actually happen... i was not sure.. there has to be a catch...well i was wrong.. they chatted their ways into each other' hearts... amazing I say!!! Ji haan bilkul kahani poori filmi hai... (copied this line from jeeju's blog).

I had spoken to jeeju like five days before the d day.. for a purpose though.. i had to ask for my kalichdi.. [a custom of jeeja's of the punjabi world to give their beloved ;) saalis rings before the bidaai although i got mine after that but a nice n cute gold ring]... wen u talk to someone there's n instant reaction, mine was great he has a sense of humour but he maros PJs also...n the fact that he likes calvin n hobbes n is a reader also, struck with me.

During the three days- engagment day, wedding day n the next day.... got to know how someone can love a person so much.. i mean being from a family where love marriages that too in different caste n religion hardly happen this mariage was an eye opener for i think everybody in my family... They were mighty impressed with jeeju n his family...

The only dissapointment for me in this wedding was i could not steal the shoes but i tried.. where i could have got atleat 5100 rupees i had to settle for 1000 bucks... jeeju's brother Hari n brother in law n not to forget his cousins did a good job of hiding the shoes before ne of us ladkiwalas...

I hope their love continues like this forever afterall they have taken 14 feras (its a long story to explain)... wishing them all the luck in life ahead.

As start my blog with this post I graduate from writing in my journal to writing on a blog... {all the celebrities are doing it y cant I :))}


chow!!
