I have read the newly released book of Chetan Bhagat- REVOLUTION 2020......Though i am a huge fan of Chetan Bhagat, this book seemed to me more like a script of Dharma Productions......
Boy and Gal become friends....Boy loves the Gal...Gal doesnt love the boy.....Boy moves to another city for studies and Gal falls in love with the Hero who is Boy's friend......Hero and Gal go around..The Boy is jealous as is madly in love with the Gal.The Gal rejects him and dates his friend the Hero..As in Dharma productions boy is always very poor and doesnt have enough money, aur---saare duniya k dukh use hi hai...he is unable to clear his entrance exam and his father passes away... n then like what happens in the movies..within few months he becomes rich....
The Hero is busy and doesnt have time and the in the meanwhile the Boy becomes villain and takes advantage of it..Both of them (The Gal and the Boy) come close to each other and start dating each other, the Hero totally unaware of it...The Gal realises that she is in love with the Boy and is about to break it up with the Hero...Then comes a twist as in the movies..the conscious of the Boy tells him that he did wrong and got the gal through wrong ways and is a bad boy...Then he does everything to show the Gal that he is bad and Hero is the right guy for her....The Hero and Gal get married.....and the Guy keeps on crying....
I just hated it...
Why such late realization by the Boy...that he was on the wrong track and whatever he did to get the Gal was wrong and the guy who actually deserved the gal is the Hero....and then he creates another plot to bring the hero and gal together.... typical Dharma Productions..
The other day i had seen Chetan Bhagat on television debating on his new book and saying "what i am trying to show through this book is BOY and GAL can never be best friends in real life also"...
Here is what i have to say to Mr.Bhagat------- Mr.Bhagat i am married and i have best friends who are guys...i feel free to call them, talk to them, discuss my problems , share my happiness at any point during the day..... May be Mr.Bhagat you need few friends in your life who are girls who can show you the reality of the world that there is no harm in being friends with the opposite sex and a boy and gal can be best friends.....

Nice post. After reading this, I have dropped all plans to read this book.
Your earlier post on life after marriage was quite nice. Would suggest you to write more about about your life after marriage. It would be an interesting read. What Say ?
