This is the third book written by Chetan. And also the third book of his, I have read. The other 2 were One night @ call center and Five Point Someone.
The mention of the word Ahmedabad, lead me to believe that this is Five Point Someone at IIM Ahmedabad. But, it turned out to be entirely other way round.
The best part about story is that its based on real life story. Interestingly the author, receives an email by one of its reader fans. The catch, is the email is the 'Suicide Note'.
Now, even the authors like J K Rowling, Mario Puzo, Jeffery Archer..... dont have mettle enough to ignore such mail. Same happened to Chetan.
The story is full of drama, friendship, love and action.

Interesting events covered by the story is Cricket, Gujarat Earthquake and Godhra Riots.
The story is not to the class of the earlier two works of the author. But, reality is seldomly a match of spicy fiction.
I recommend this book, to all the readers as a non-serious leisure time reading.

Don’t you think it’s a typical hindi movie story type of book with some silly mistakes like the thought of Ish for Ali to join Australian team and their trip to Australia which is head to digest for anyone...at least for me!!!

yeah, it is, but its not impossible. and i think even movies are inspired by real life stories :)
chetan bhagat writes for the masses, to appeal to the youth..which his previous 2 books did and this one probably would too..i agree with prabal this is a pure leisure time reading though we do get to know what really happens in the name of politics and religion..this is also not shown in entirety but it does provoke some feelings and thoughts in the reader's mind. also, something that appealed to me was the friendship and relatinoship showed between omi, ish and govind and that of ish and ali..i do not know how true or real or filmy it was but the 2 hours that i spent on reading it were well spent. the only problem now a days i feel both with movies as well as books is that we expect a tad too much and this is also fueled by the hype that surrounds the book or movie before its release, so even if it is a good work, we always feel 'oh, this is not that great'. if we read this book without any such pre conceived notions, it is an interesting read..
