For a change let me start with few comments on author before saying my review about this book
Chetan Bhagat - Budding Indian writer who has given 4 best sellers in a very short span and now entering into Bollywood screenplays/scripts. Being an IIT/IIMA alumini the country would expect more from him than being a writer. He safely escapes saying 'Pen is mightier than sword'...India is in need of more Tatas,Premji's and NarayanaMurthy's than a bollywood screenplay writer. I am not commenting this being so jealous on a person who is lucky to persue his passion, that too being in India. My only point is not to have wasted a costly seat in India's leading institutions. By the way why dont these institutions come up with a rule that their students should serve their country and show a profit of XYZ $ before moving out to any part of the world. All alumini's of IITs/IIMs come out with a notion that they are born and brought up to be slaves of leading MNCs, except for few exceptions. Our Government should also race with other MNCs and be ready to pay more and grab these (so called tagged)smart people.
Ok...coming to the book...its a super cool personal blog published as a book. The author needs special appreciation for his witty and simple style of writing. I feel all his books so far are based on his real life experiences. waiting to see something different from him...
Seen more as a youth icon than just an author, this IIT D/ IIMA graduate is making India read like never before.
This sounds so funny to me- not sure who took the statistics to see how good were Indians in reading before and after Chetan's book releases. Probably being an IIMA alumini he is putting his marketing skills at its best.
