Chetan! Why are u so obsessed with happy endings?

When i heard that chetan bhagat's new book 3 mistakes of my life has hit the stands, the first steps i took were towards Tekson's. I was so much impressed with chetan bhagat's last work that i would have bought the book even if it was for 500. The day i bought the book,was the day in which i completed the book, it was that interesting.

The next question which will be, what are your views AJ? well first of all i would like to say that Chetan has done it again. The story moves very nicely, Characters are defined very nicely and they seems real, especially the protagonist of the story Ganesh (though back cover says that story is about three guys, i felt the story actually revolved around this one guy who made the three mistakes and other two, though had important roles in the story were just there to face the consequences). Another thing is that this time Chetan Bhagat has Taken a whole new back drop. His story is set in Ahmadabad, and involves people who feel that rs 2000 profit is a good profit. A story about people who live in an area where people are happy doing small business or small jobs. I'm not being snobbish or anything. In fact i feel that it is good. Chetan bhagat has depicted the life of people esp youth of this area very nicely. Also this time Chetan Has also touched some real and serious issues like regionalism,politics etc and has shown today's youth's opinion towards them. This time India's best selling writer has written a very serious story. As i was reaching the end of the story i felt that the writer is going towards a tragic ending but then i read the last eight pages and then the whole story changed.In just eight pages, he actually managed to convert a tragic and according to me justified ending into a happy ending and i asked myself 'WHY'. I don't why Chetan Bhagat does that? He did it with his last work and he has done it again. I don't know why he is so obsessed with happy endings?

Well i can never answer that question but can only plead Chetan Bhagat to stop converting real endings into happy endings. When his stories seems so real then his endings also.

In all, I liked the book. It was very interesting. It was different from his last work and is surely is better than his last work. He has surely shown the world that you don't need to have an amazing oxford control over the language to be a great story teller. In the end I will only say,

Chetan Bhagat Go rock on....

1 night at call center

I finally got my hands dirty with 1 night @ call center. i know it is kind of late but I have been ignorin this book for 2 yrs for some stupid reasons and only read it for the sake of a bet, which i cannot tell u guys.
So i feel book is great, Chracters are well-defined and surely represent the youth of our country, esp Vroom i have lot of friends like him. Now comes the hard part, I feel the ending of the story was not good or justified. I 'am not saying this because of God's intrusion in the story, readers should not get offended if they come across some unrealistic elements in a fictional story. If u want to be so realistic then read non-fiction. I didn't like the ending because i feel it was more like a typical B-grade bollywood movie ending. I also think the happy ending was a forced one and was not at all realistic. if u are wiritng a story where characters are so nicely defined that they seem real and their problems genuine then u can't have such a dreamy happy ending.
Still i feel that 3/4 of the novel was great and i'll be lying if i'll be sayin tht i didn't enjoy it. Chetan Bhagat surely rocks and he should continue writing. We need casual writers like him.
Only thing i m guilty of is that i borrowed the book and read it but i m sure i wouldn't have affected Chetan Bhagat's big bank account.

Cold Hearted

Cold Hearted, That’s what my friend called me when i was tellin him not to waste time on that bitch. He didn't understand, He knows That he can't get her, but still he thinks he can't live w/o her.they don't even have a relationship . He can get any other girl if he likes. Means he has a friend in his office who is ready to Love him like hell , But he wants to remain with his old girl. I guess he just wants to spend time with her, May be he likes her company but then everyone likes a company of a girl. One thing I m not able to understand is That he can get that company and warmth from any other girl. Then why is he fixed with her. Means last thing i know if they even get into a relationship they will break up and then there will be again a broken heart.

Neither I m writing this to tell u my friend's tale nor for the reason that he called me an asshole. I m writing this because i never have been able to answer this question that how can a guy fall so much in love with a girl that he doesn't sees the logistics or the high probability of pain he is going to have after the breakup, which is an evitable fact.

Now i m a guy who hasn't fallen in love, i have been linked to two girls but i haven't felt what love is .I don't have any grudges against the girls with whom i have been linked up in past. Means c'mon i enjoyed it, they enjoyed, fun got over and then we went on with our seperate lives. Ok i didn't have these ideolgies when i was in school, yes my heart also was broken once by a girl. I also felt bad and acted like some freakin Devdas, but then i learn't from my past and now for the past one year i have been followin these ideolgies. I don't hate that girl or any other girl. I don't even hate love, nor have any personal grudges with relationships .I m also not the guy who will say that I don't believe in true love. I believe in true love, and i believe that there is some one for everyone and i m waitin for my so called other half. Now tell me is it still justified that people call me cold hearted.

its sad the whole world can be classified into two - one who are in love and the other who have suffered a break up and they are actin like some freakin aashiq or somethin (esp with boys). For example in orkut if u search for community which talks about love u will find 2 type of communties - One made by a lover (which is good), and the other by ones who hate love because someone who didn't love them left them. They like my friend are just destroyin their lives. Fine he or she left u, this doesn't mean that u start hating love. That person didn't even loved u, that is why he or she left u. U should accept it and sooner u do better it is. What i feel that love is never one sided? it is always from both the sides. If a side has left the other side, then it clearly shows that love was never there and both the sides were actually going through infatuation. I write this To people who have suffered in love, coz i can understand what they are goin thru all i want to say that u should start livin ur life again. Love is not life, and life is not all about love. There are other things in this freakin world. Think about it.

next time when i m gonna meet my friend i will again pursue him to think about his life.

I think so it is stupid for guys and galz to love someone who doesn't love them, I think so it is waste of time. They can utilise that time in a more better way. I believe that being a devdas is the worst u can ever be.

Call Me cold hearted asshole but then this is what i am.
