It is a nice book. Chetan knows hot to convert the dramatic situation to appear as if it is going exclusive in front of one’s eye by using his expert experience in the field of english. Five point someone was also an overwhelming novel.

The book is awesome, even better than Five Point Someone. The only thing that disappoints me is that this guy Krish(or Hari) just starts falling for any girl who is pretty. Love doesn’t happen like that. Is not there a difference between love and lust? Other than that, everything is fine- a simple plot with an entertaining style of representation. Plus it is affordable.

Chetan bhagat’s books usually tend to follow a set formula. Somehow I feel his books are ‘aspirational’ in nature.

This has also resulted in a lot of chetan bhagat clones. Take a look at this interesting and hilarious article to see what I am talking about – http://www.whackk.com/july-2010/book-wars-attack-clones

I would correct you . I would say that Chetan ‘also’ appeals to the lowest denominator. Most of our ‘celebrated’ desi English language authors express themselves so self-consciously and are so over-nuanced… it hurts!! They can only appeal to the equally stilted high-brow minority. And some prize-giving institutions. Chetan’s deliberately simple style mixed with observation, insight, delightful humour and an endearingly sensible perspective on things is path-breaking for an Indian author, no matter how contrived some of the plot solutions. He is going to make a lot of Indian young people think and observe!

This was my first read to chetan bhagat & let me tell u ,i actually enjoyed it a lot.In today’s fast and tensed life all u need is a light stuff that makes u feel easy and this book does it well enough. I was in a new city , new job and new atmosphere when i read it and frankly speaking i completely lost in my memories while reading it.One negative thing in this book is that KRISH does a lot to convince ANANYA’S family but when it is her turn to , she just hands down.Just after one meeting with his mother ,she immedieately denied from any possibility to be able to serve his mother.So the moral of thebook is –boys do anything for their lovers but what abt the female side. i wish if HARI replies it. ONLY FOR HARI- HEY BUDY PLEASEMAIL ME PERSONALLY AS I WANA TALK TO U ABT SOMETHING SERIOUS. YOU HAVE MY MAIL ID SO PLZ………….

Yes Ajay… U r absolutely right… The South Indian criticisms must have been avoided…

First- The book name should have been “Two families” and not “Two States”… With just his wife’s family he cant judge the entire state…
Second- Though some of his views about girls may be correct not all are true…
Private things could be avoided… Girls today are not vulnerable as he thinks…
I wish atleast in his next book the story goes without “I”… Means he describing the story…

Hey that observation in the end was nice. Anyway I have heard that book is about Chetan Bhagat’s own life, is it true?? is he married to a Tamil girl?
