"2 States" - The latest novel by Chetan Bhagat. I completed the book last weekend. The name of the book is little confusing as I remembered the question that I had been asked many years before:
"Which state Bay of Bengal is in?"
And the answer to the question (as told by the questioner) was:
"Liquid"
So when I got the book in my hand, I wondered, if Chetan is talking about states like, Solid, or Liquid, or Gas or something...
Well, "2 states" alone was not the book's name: It read fully as "2 States - the story of my marriage"
Hmm..., that made me to worry again as to find what could be the relation between Liquid, Solid states to some one's marriage!!! ... The write-up on the back side of the book cleared my doubt: 2 states was 2 states of India, Delhi and Tamilnadu.
So the book is about "Love Marriage" in India. It is an Indian love story about a couple coming from two different states of India, who faced the conservative parents and how they finally persuaded them to get themselves married. The novel is a fiction, but is said to be inspired from the real story of the author and his wife Ananya who are from Delhi and Tamilnadu respectively.
Not as good as his earlier writings, but a good time pass for weekends :)
