Chaetan Bhagat is a famous name in Indian writers. He is famous for storytelling kind of narrative and common lingo.
I read this book and it is having all those things Chetan is famous for.
Story of three childhood friends, two boys and one girl, who grew up together and have different expectations from life.
Gopal is a guy from poor family who wants to make it big in life and is expected to be an engineer by his father. Raghav is his friend who belongs to a rich family and secures to get admission in a prestigious college. Aarti is the third main character who is also a friend of Gopal and she has some other dreams for her life.
Gopal is a failure in life because he couldn't become what his father wanted him to be and he himself considered it to be a good option but he never really believed that he can make it. His whole character is destined to be full of doubts and lack of self-respect. He always tried to be proven great but he looked at others to approve this. He wants people to be satisfied and in the whole story he is always confused with right and wrong. He is a one sided lover of Aarti but he never believed that he was the right person in the end.
Raghav is a simple character and quite clear about what he wants to be. He left a successful career to fulfill his ambitions. He wants to change the system and this is his only dream. He is very revolutionary in nature and has different thoughts on the revolution will happen. He is the boy friend of Aarti which comes to a happy ending for him after many twists and turns.
Aarti is the third main character in the book she is the love interest of Gopal. She wants to be an air hostess. She loves Raghav but she cares for Gopal. In fact in the whole book she is defined as the most confused girl in the world. She is not sure whether she loves Raghav or Gopal till the end of the story and end sounds more like that she has accepted the things as they are rather than making a choice and fight for it.
Some previous novels from Chetan was adapted to a movie and this started happening that his subsequent novels look more like a screenplay of a movie rather than having a novel like structure. Same thing happened to this novel as well and at many instances it looks like a topsy turvy bollywood movie. And I must say that the he was competing with Sidney at the scenes of intimate scenes between Gopal and Aarti. That was also a low point because it was more like adding spice rather than sensuality.
I am not a fan of Chetan and I think he is a writer by profession rather by choice. He is a famous speaker as well (with a price tag, of course) and he speaks about motivation and other practical things in life.
I'll add one more thing here that all the books by Chetan are said to be best seller (not quite sure about it) but the most important person is a reader and everyone of us has a different taste in books and we as a reader are free to read whatever we like but most important thing is to keep reading because that is the way we can know what we like.
Read it if you like his writings because it has everything what he is famous for but if you didn't read it you are not missing anything
