"Two States: The Story of My Marraige " review

I just completed reading Chetan bhagat’s new novel “2 States: The story of my marriage” and here is the review.

Brief Outline:
The Story starts with the protagonist Krish and Anaya meeting at the IIMA canteen. From there the story tracks their love story as their relationship status changes from “just friends” to the being “madly in love”. As their IIM days come to an end they decide to take the relationship to the next level but there is one major roadblock he is a Punjabi and she is a tamilian will the south accept the north or vice versa is the question that the author tries to explore in rest of his novel.
All the ups and downs in the relationships are nicely penned by the author. It gets the reader hooked and one is easily able to relate to the characters. The scene where Krish proposes to ananya during her HLL interview is well written and is one of the most romantic scenes in the book. The novel starts off with a fast pace and in the middle losses the pace but the picks up pace at the end. I cannot blame Chetan Bhagat for the loss of pace in between because it’s a story about a couple and not all the moments in life can be that interesting. Although the novel is not high on literary content but has is entertaining and has got all the required ingredients which its target audience is looking for. Overall a nice attempt by Mr. Bhagat.
For all those who have read his earlier works like the five point someone, one night at call centre, the 3 mistakes of my life I would suggest read this. I guess after 5 point someone this the best work of Chetan Bhagat.

One thing I must say that nothing sells like one personal stories esp. the love stories in India. We can see how this fact is used very shrewdly Mr. Mahesh Bhatt for his films. Anyways no malice is intended towards anybody.

Just go and enjoy the book.Mr Bhagat has got one more Best seller up his sleeve.
