2 states - a story of love marriage



This is the fourth book of chetan bhagat who is one of the much appreciated young writer in india!

This story also inspired from a his real life. It is a love story about a Punjabi boy and a Tamilian girl. Krish and Ananya are from two different states of India, deeply in love and want to get married.

He started impressing the readers from the quote in the front page itself,
‘ Love marriages around the world are simple:
Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy.
They get married.
In India, there are a few more steps:
Boy loves Girl. Girl loves Boy.
Girl’s family has to love boy. Boy’s family has to love girl.
Girl’s Family has to love Boy’s Family. Boy’s family has to love girl’s family.
Girl and Boy still love each other. They get married.’

This book is also having a number in its title! – The book starts impressively with the love episode of Anaya and krish (chetan). The flow is excellent in these pages! – Especially his character representation is amazing!

Like all lovers these people also can’t join easily. This is also one of the important properties of india :-)

They also have a big hurdle ahead of them. After they both got their placements, krish moves to Chennai branch as per the writers interest :-) to convenience anaya’s parents.

He starts his good boy acting from her brother then her father then mother!!! - He finally got everyone !

As you easily guessed, Anaya moves to Punjab to convenience his parents. Sorry here, she had been asked to convenience only his mother. Because his father not at all talking to anyone in their family including krish due to some reasons!!- find the reason from the book!

But his father’s major role after that to make this marriage happened!

Like all other books, in this book also chetan gives us the best writing for our money. But lot of peoples feels he irritated the tamil people and south Indians!

I think chetan was cheated by someone from tamil nadu or south india!
Also in this book he has given importance to sex in lot of places!!! – whether this is required chetan ???

If we throw away the above reasons , this book paves the way! – his days with anaya’s father and anaya’s character representation as an intelligent girl in krish’s marriage are impressive!

This books is an readable one! - Hari

I read this book 2 weeks after its release.. and it took two weeks for me to complete since am a lazy reader! it had fun, sarcasm and served as a good time pass. I laughed at many instances and thats what we need as output from any book. One point I need to mention here is, he met guruji in pondicherry and the lesson he learnt from him -> "Forgive people for their mistakes. That would not help them but will make you feel better" I don't remember the exact lines..

Like hell it paves.. This book is completely absurd and I could quote all the obscene words used in the book here.. I don't want to make this blog dirty by dong so..
Chetan - If you think that making fun of a culture and a group of people is humour, we, Tamilians have no humour sense as you said.
This book is a bull shit..
