The 3 Mistkes of My life... by Chetan Bhagat...

New Delhi, 22nd June 2008.....

Recently i completed new read.. by Chetan Bagat....author of Five Point Some One and One Night At Call Center... Firstly i could read original copy as its available for 95 Rs in stores and if u are authentic miser but still want to own copy for self. then u can bargain it for 75 Rs.. thats lowest.. till date..
I have read all three.. but buy my words.. Five Point... is still the best by Chetan.. I hope he returns to the old flavor soon....
The 3 Mistake is story not about chetan but about 3 friends and revolves around in Ahmedabad....
Since i am presently located in Ahmedabad and had been to all the places mentioned in the read... it was quite relative for me..but any body out of ahmedabad ...its not going to be all that fun...As author fails to explain the 'pols of Ahmedabad" and little details which could have served better purpose...
Any way .. story is all about friend ship, riots, betrayal, Modi Politics and earthquake..
The missing part pf the narrative by Chetan Bhagat is, his signature style of sarcasm... its not appealing.. any way nice read for pastime but not to keep for.....
The best part of the read is when the character of story criticize the life style in pols of Ahmedabad.. how hard you try to make few senior citizens of Ahmedabad understand... but they won't buy your opinion that life in pol is not worth living.. Old city of Ahmedabad need to be redeveloped.... i hope they buy this book or go to pol and stay there of few days ..till they are blessed by their consciousness...........
If you buy this read and t like i .. please it to few Armageddon's of pol... who live in luxurious apartments of new city and travel by car.. adding to fiscal deficit of nation.. may good faith prevail to their soul...

Nice one dude..... i like the flavor of your writing and ur easy going,(sarcastic) style would appeal to the gen x .... hope fully we would like to see u write wholly.... here's for a buddy author......

by the way i have personally felt that one nite @ call centre never could live up to the hype generated by Five point someone chetan Bhagat's best work till date (i am yet to read the 3 mistakes of my life)

Great job Karimbhai... :-)

Yeah, the novel was not up to the mark as expected.

Excess of Cricket (chal gaya),
Excess of Hindu-Muslim (chal gaya),
Excess of Politics (chal gaya),
Spelling mistake on
Page#61 1st line-> look-took (yeh bhi chal gaya)
LEKIN...
Vidya's description (Grrrrrr...!!)

It would've just took 3-4 lines more to bring Vidya's face/figure clearly in front of a readers eye (esp. guys like me) and would've made Chapter Sixteen much more enjoyable and sensuous! ;-)

Sach kahu toh...
I would've discontinued reading if any character had interrupted in that thrilling chapter. :-))
Thanx to Chetan!

Overall a good read but the other two were better!
