I don’t know how u guys gonna respond to it.. v are already in a drowning boat.. :( Lets all try to fix the hole :) I make my fix with tis post :)
I dunno how to start wit t post.. All I want is to share few moments of my journey wit Chetan bagat’s novels.. some may feel weird.. bcoz in one of my older comments.. I hav mentioned that I don’t read books and t two novels I read in my life are Scarlet pimpernal and Tom sawyer… yeah that was true.. but now t case is different and read 3 of his novels :) :) I have to really thank this guy Chetan Bagat for bringing out this change in me.. His first novel “5.someone”, t story is abt 3 IIT guys.. There are many reasons why I started reading this novel.. Few are,
1. Aamir’s next movie 3 idiots is based on this novel.
2. One of my friends ridiculed me for not reading tis novel.
3. And moreover, the lead character’s name in the novel is Hari.
I completed this novel in 2 nights.. I wish 2 share my first night’s experience (with t novel),
I started this “five point someone” at around 9.some pm after dinner.. though I listed out many reasons, I really started this one to kill time.. :) but on contrary the story enthralled me and pulled me into it.. I neva felt like that bfore.. I felt like watching a movie in that book..:) I wanted to know the next and next… and finished three 4th of the book at around 3.some am t next day.. I really don’t want to close that.. but I have to go office t next morning… I kept alarm at 6 am, knowing that I won’t get up at 6.. after some hours… slowly I was opening my eyes.. tat sound was intolerable..:(:( I want to cancel the alarm and throw my cell away.. I took my cell with my half eyes open.. oh shit!!! That was not alarm.. tat was my cab driver calling at 8:45am for pickup.. f..k:( he had already given me 3 missed calls.. :(:( I called him back and asked him to leave telling him that I was not feeling well :( then I started getting ready for office.. I hav to spend 50 bugs for auto.. on each-day when I miss my cab.. I finally got one after denied for residency road by 4 autowalas.. I started at 9 30, reached office at 10:10.. I was thinking abt the novel in 2hourly basis, that is thinking once in 2 hours.. abt the remainder portion.. I returned back early that day to finish 5.sum1, I started at 7 and successfully completed tat around 10 pm sacrificing my dinner on that day.. :(
I could rate 10-10 for this novel.. I shared my novel experience with my sisters and few of my friends.. they cudnt believe me.. as they know tat I am a book-repellent :) Few months later, my sister presented me “3 mistakes my life” book.. bcoz of my new novel interest.. it had 3 friends.. alike 5.someone.. but t plot is different.. t book is mainly abt cricket and religion.. chetan used some real incidents like guj bhuj disaster and india-Aus match... though this novel fulfilled my expectations.. I cant get t ecstasy in his first novel.. except for the climax chapters.. which are really adrenalin pumping.. I completed tis book in 3 nites and 1 afternoon.. no funny reminiscence to remember wit this novel :( In part 2, i shall discuss about chetan's recent flick "2 states". catch u soon :) :)

hmm ... i have also read all these books of chetan bhagat ... though d book doesnt have so many twists somehow it makes to sit and complete dem .. hats off to chetan .. a writer who gave up his IT career to become a revolutionary writer ..
ReplyDeleteThe first n fore most thing dat made ppl ( book repellents) is his way of presenting things in a simple n colloquial way. It was like the story dat we come across in our daily life. No exaggeration, no drama, no fantasy. Think dats d sole reason 4 his success. Atleast i felt it dat way.
ReplyDeleteN each novel of his handles a different view and environment which makes us feel nt bored.
( Exceptions r der... Dan Brown :) )
Expecting his next novel...
As prathy says its just the way he narrates the story. nothing big on the vocab or the storyline.
ReplyDeleteMoreover his stories relate to the indian scenario. Ithu naala thaan US UK authors eluthra slang and customization la paathi namaku puriyurathu illai.
Good job.. I am yet to read 2 states..book vangiten aanal
But nalla kariyam panna da.. Welcome to the novel world. Its very interesting and vast. Nothing can beat the companionship of a novel during any mood or mindset.
ReplyDeleteElla nerangalayum u can always read a novel to pass time.
