2 states..

Finally.. I completed two states.. the second novel am reading of Chetan Bhagat.. as I had mentioned in my earlier post.. Chetan is not a classy writer who uses hard to understand English words which only a say.. PG in English literature can understand.. its just plain simple english that you and I talk.. well the IIT slang has not gone away a lot from FPS though the character has graduated from an engineer to an MBA grad :-) Its a nice love story between a Punjabi boy and a Sounth Indian Tamil girl.. fiery one I should say cause she is not "your" tamil iyer girl.. she is an IIM grad, she is fiery, she is sexy, super confident and according to the Punjabi boy.. super hot too.. yes.. thats a very very rare package to find but at the end of the day its all in the eyes of the beholder.. I liked the way Chetan builds up the story.. some places it gets a bit filmish like for eg:- when things fall out temporarily between them and the boy grows a beard.. some devdas feelings thrown in ;-) the bottle and dog were missing.. but loved the fights between the two families.. took a slight offense to repeated mention of south indians as madrasis and dark people.. but overall a nice read.. all for 60 bucks or so.. go get it.. now let me look out for the other books of Chetan..

I thought the book was a screenplay for another Bollywood movie turning up. AKA CRAP!

Be it north / south india, we are stuck with our stereotypes because of lesser historical knowledge of our pedigree!

beat this : the punjabis and the tamils are epitome of influence throughout India.

Hope Karan Johar doesnt make this with SRK & Kajol... (if Aamir can be IIM student why not SRK...ahem...!!)

@anonymous - appreciate the comment.. I agree on the stereotypes bit.. regarding the beat this statement.. are you a punju or a tamil? just taking a guess..never mind.. have you read any books on east and west marraiges? something like a funny take? would like to read one if avaliable..

@ Bharat - Machi no north indian can play a south indian.. if KJ tries anything like that it will be a disaster..
