After waiting eagerly for months, i was finally able to put my hands on it. And finished it in 2 days straight. But the wait was worth it. Folks, i m talking about the new novel of C.B. "2 states : the story of my marriage" is one of the most entertaining and insightful novels of our times. It is so wonderful that i had to write a post dedicated to it which i m doing after a gap of 5 months (i have been quite busy in other things these days, of course)lol.
Around 1 year ago, C.B. had come to I.T.BHU . He had announced then that his next one is going to be an out an out love story. And how truly has he kept his promise. This is probably the mother of all indian love stories and one with which any normal indian boy or girl can identify with. Inter-caste, inter state or inter religion marriages in india always generate lots of hue n cry. GOD KNOWS WHY.But this story or should it be called an autobiography has given a very simple and somewhat ingenious solution to the perennial problem of lacks of indian adults. The solution, in brief is LOVE. Yes, LOVE and only LOVE is the way to win your soul mate (and your and his/her parents).
After a great start(5 point someone), i think he lost his way somewhat. One night @ call centre was ok ok stuff. But reading 3 mistakes was a mistake in life. Nonetheless, C.B. is back to his best. His terrific one liners, comments on indian hypocrite culture, mocking everything which comes in his way and seeing things from a certain angle from which we never saw them are extraordinary stuff.
Take a bow CHETAN. You have proved that IITians are the best in whatever they do...
