Just like the harry potter series, his books have become progressively darker,with more politics and religion involved. Liked t other 2 books better. Govind's 3rd mistake was his delay in saving ali's life!! Good Review!!The climax was disappointing.

Cellphones <i>began</i> getting cheaper in 2000-2001 after the drastic tariff reduction spree, yes. But, few could afford them still... And Govind, Omi and Ishaan are small businessmen without much turnover... How <b>COULD</b> they afford a mobile phone? :-) Leave Vidya, coz Bhagat has 'bailed her out' by mentioning that her dad works in Telephones and they have lots of telephones at home in the first chap.<br/><br/>Thanks, anyway! :D It's high time Chetan did something different... @ the smokin’ wdm

He's got his readers that have never been in the habit of reading like me so he should start raising the standards of his books and taking them to a higher level. nice review… very well balanced… covers the positives as well as the negatives of the books …. like you say some of the things are very cheesy in Chetan’s books like Govind emailing him when he commits suicide and a whole lot of other stuff that you mentioned….. as for the cellphones I don’t really remember but from reading articles i remember that 2001 was the time the boom started and tariffs started getting cheaper but anyways a pretty questionable point ( I mean to Chetan)…

and yes Chetan should mature from now on. He’s got his readers that have never been in the habit of reading like me so he should start raising the standards of his books and taking them to a higher level.
