What makes him special ? Firstly, his style. He keeps things simple, thinks and writes it from heart making the narration very much practical with good blend of humour and sarcasm. He understands the pulse of current generation readers and follows a writing style that reaches any average literate effortlessly. Secondly, his thoughts speaks. He was an IIM product and settled in one of the dream life at HongKong. His passion for writing and urge to reform the Indian society is what made him more admirable. He now migrated back to India after a decades money-making-spree in HK.
I have read all his 5 books that came out so far and here are my feedback. Obviously, I enjoyed all of them with jus few ups and downs.
Five point Some one : His first book and arguably, his best book so far. I thought I should start blogging after reading first few pages of this book and I haven’t stopped blogging since then. I know it takes a lot to write well but am happy I started : ) To me, the book was more enjoyable than the movie 3 idiots itself. This book is a must read for every one.
One Night @the Call Center : The book didn’t do well like his first one but I found this one intresting too. May be its me but in theory, this had a wonderful plot for a classic fiction. This is about life of many Call center dudes and what happens one night. Read this if you like Chetan Bagath
The 3 Mistakes of my Life : This for me is the lowest ranked book of Chetan Bagath. The story of 2 friends who goes through ups and downs in making a young hopeless school boy to a great cricketer. Though CB’s narration was the only relief, everything else wasn’t so great. Still you can read once.
2 States: The story of my Marriage : This is totally a fresh story line and mostly inspired from his own life. It has lots humour, few emotions and so much practical. It’s a full length love story of a couple hailing for extreme corners of India and they need their family’s approval to get married. Must read book and am sure you will love it.
Revoltuon 2020 : I was having huge hopes on this book as the topic was very sensitive but turned out to be a 1980s Rajnikanth movie style book. A young chap poor in studies went successful with life by taking wrong route eventually becoming good person at the end. His friend, topper in studies wanted to bring a change in the society and struggling in his life. They have one common problem ‘Aarti’. Read it for the writer’s genuine intentions and don’t expect huge drama that you never seen in the past ; )
