The 3 mistakes of my life…
Chetan Bhagat.. man!! He really knows what the masses read!! A mind blowing blend of vision, politics, so called communal conflicts, spirituality, romance and maths!!!
Putting all pieces together.. The novel talks of three friends, their ambitions in life, inhibitions in achieving them, their conflicting thoughts, their views about religion and many more. An agnostic whose passion include maths and business, a cricket lover whose parents are given up on him and a hardcore Hindu devotee who doesnt wanna follow the family profession of priesthood. Just look at the way the three involve in a business… A business run in temple premises selling cricket accessories – making all the three happy..
What went wrong?? If you wanna read the book then please dont read the blog any further. coz I am gonna reveal them…
Investment into business.. smart?? But if mother nature shivers to make her presence felt to all of us who think man need not depend on anything at all… then what??Tremors!! Quakes… and there it goes… Bhuj incident.. Drowned businesses.. Ruined families.. Lost lives.. leaving people to think what went wrong!!!
Loving a friend’s sister!!! A sacrilege? Against protocol?? Well… may be. may not be.. and if it is.. it costs friendship..
Saving one’s life but not future.. Believe me!! You wont realize for a second that that was a mistake.. Alas!! 3 mistakes of our hero’s life..
All said and done.. what an insight into prevailing Indian Politics and ofcourse.. how can I forget.. the Godhra incident that we dont mention very often (atleast I dont) relived in my memory.
The novel compels us to ponder over our mistakes of our lives. I am still pondering over it.
