Two fates (Book review)

The boy loves girl,the girl loves boy, the families get impressed and they get get married with a great pomp and show.
The story BEGIN'S here...

Judy balan is up here with a hilarious tale of two ordinary lovers with a very extraordinary stories where the couple are fed with their so called happy married life and are moving forward to divorce. With lots of stories with similar genre, this story is going make it's unique stand because of the sarcastic comic style that the writer have undertaken to frame the book (Typical girlish style). As a debut author Judy has done a great job with the perfect narration of characters and of course the Tamilian and Punjabi lifestyles.

Two Fates is a story of a Tamilian girl who gets married with a Punjabi boy after convincing their families about their true and inseparable love. Though the colorful marriage fades as time spends and after two years all those things that seemed to be cute and amazing now seems awkward to them. This starts a series of witty and sarcastic events which result in that they both cannot stand each other. The only solution they find is to get separated. But situation becomes worse as by now both of the families have fallen in love with each other and they both are an inspirational couple for the younger ones of the family.
So do they get divorced? That's the story...

The story is in a similar genre to that of Two states, but in my personal opinion I would not call it a sequel as it has a completely different story track and characters. Though I would like to say that Two Fates would not have existed without Two States. The first 100 pages are interesting with lots of funny situations. Later half of the book is quite descriptive and introduces a lots of characters which creates confusion (I still don't know who was Rinky nd Twinky?).

Over all the book is worth spending a night (You won't take more then 7-8 hours to complete it) and meets the expectation of reader who buys the book reading the synopsis. I'll give three stars out of five to the book and will recommend to all the Chetan Bhagat style readers.

P.S: 1. For male readers "Read the book and hide it, 'coz if your "SHE" reads it, she will come to know about  lot of things that she doesn't like about you".
2.For Aamir Khan "Update your security team,'Coz a DEVIL is heading towards you..."

Revolution 2020 (Book review)

History is created by LEADERS not FOLLOWERS...

Chetan Bhagat is back again with another super-awesome story that will not only entertain you but also take you to a journey of Gopal (The protagonist) through LOVE,CORRUPTION AND AMBITION...

Chetan Bhagat is one of the revolutionary writers who were instrumental in raising the Indian literature to meet up the global level. The style and theme he started brought back the tradition of reading back in India. The sense of humor, fast-paced story and the perfect  combination of emotions in the story are the key feature which define Bhagat's novels. With a history of four best sellers, does Chetan creates another one to add to the list or does it fails?

I would say THIS ONE IS QUITE DIFFERENT!

The story of Revolution 2020, revolves around the three main characters Gopal, Arti and Raghav. Raghav is a intelligent and smart guy who makes up to IIT and later decides to join journalism with a aim to change the system suffering a lot. Aarti is a beautiful and ambitious still confused girl, who has the aim to become a air hostess but could not make it because of family restrictions. And last Gopal is the lead character who is a complete failure in life who could not make up for IIT with two consecutive attempts, thinks himself responsible for the death of his father ridden with debt and litigation and a jealous of his smart friend Raghav who get's Aarti, his childhood LOVE. The only ambition in Gopal's life is to make a lot of money by HOOK OR BY CROOK...

Like those of previous books this one also take almost a day and a night to be completed. The story line is perfect with in numerous twists which makes reader to gain interest. Though unlike TWO STATES  and FIVE POINT SOMEONE  the novel doesn't have much comic situation and is in a kind of serious genre. It can be said that rather than hero, it is a story of a villain. Also This time the story is not directly of a IIT-ian but revolves around Engineering only. The climax of the novel becomes in-predictable at a situation and makes the reader to think what will  the end of story. It can be said that this time Chetan Bhagat handled a very critical topic with a very intelligent story and did justice to all..

I would give it three and a half stars out of five, as I am a die hard Chetan Bhagat fan and like him in humorous stories rather than anti-social stories. (I had same review for Three mistakes of my life). I would recommend it to the readers who like to discuss the topics like that of increasing corruption and change in society e.t.c on the dinner. The traditional fan's who liked Five point someone and other of similar genre would find this one a little disappointing.

Immortals of Meluha (Book review)

They said "The book is awesome".
I said "Whatever...".
They said "It is a definate page turner"
I said "Every book is...".
They said "Kept me spellbound"
I said "Just shut up now, let me read it".
And now I am one of them.
Though it is a very late review for the book (almost two years later), but as they say better late than never...

Amish Tripathi, gains all the points as a debut author. He not only have the skill to hold the reader but have also passed a lot of information about the ancient Indian civilization to the readers. The perfect descriptive style of the author makes him different from the regular once. he has got the awesome study of ancient languages and have depicted the same in a beautiful manner in the book.

About the story line I don't want to tell much as it will ruin the tadka or the flavor of the book. Still I would like to say as it is a story of Fierce warrior, Passionate lover, consummate dancer and a charismatic leader SHIVA, who is a tibetian immigrant into the empire of Meluha with his tribe called as guna's. It is his journey throughout the country in search of evil where he comes across suryawanshi's the descendants of Sun and chandrawanshi's  the descendants of Moon.

With a perfect story line, the description of lifestyle, architecture and medical prosperity during ancient India doesn't seem to be boring. The author had  planned the story as a trilogy in the beginning  hence the end of the novel is not that much impressive as the story breaks in the middle of an act. Well this is where a curiosity for the further story is generated within the reader. (A perfect marketing technique...That's what they teach in IIM's )

In short the book is simply awesome and worth spending a few days in reading it. I am waiting for the further parts of the series and hope have a same experience reading them. Overall I'll give four stars out of five to the book and recommend to the readers who like reading myth-fiction and action stories like those of HARRY POTTER, TWILIGHT, KANE CHRONICLES and so on...
