I have been reading books since the first grade but the only book that I have finished in a single read till date is Chetan Bhagat's '3 mistakes of my life'.
The biggest selling Indian writer of recent times is Chetan Bhagat and '3 mistakes of my life' is his latest book. Unlike what the title suggests, the book has nothing to do with the writer's life itself. It is a bittersweet small town comedy set amid a trio of Indian obsessions - cricket, religion and business. The book revolves around the lives of three friends Omi, Govind and Ish who venture into business to earn a living. As the story proceeds, their lives take unexpected turns because hoard of people, problems and pressures make way into their lives. Its all about how they react, solve and live with those problems. Just like his other two books, he chose a batch of people who truly represent a good proportion of of urban India.
With quirky and witty lines unmasking the realities of our daily lives, Bhagat has been able to leave the readers, especially the Indian youth, aware about the problema that plague its society. Since our Nepalese society is similar to the Indian society in a number of ways, we Nepalese youth can greatly relate to the issues presented in this book.
Right from the conservative mentality still looming large in Indian socities and religious extremism to our faulty government that has done very liitle to reform our faulty education system solely based on mugging and puking out everything to issues of to how the importance of money has resulted in killing of one's passion, Bhagat has tried bringing all such issues that have a lot to do with the shaping of our lives and our society's structure. He has thus weaved a wonderful story with a very funny and entertaining writing style that makes the book too difficult to put down.
And most importantly, with the price tag of only IRs 95, this book couldnt have been more (pocket) friendly for the youths.
