c'mmon

yeah i kno!..somehow the boring aftr diwali break made me pick it up..
i wudn't say i'm a chetan bhagat fan, never-the-less i have been thru all his books (well wat else can ne author or publishing house aspire for!) unlike the name the novel has little revolution to portray and the author leaves it to our imagination as to wat kind of revolution myt occur in 2020 (if any!)..though the story line set in the backdrop of varansi is pretty typical but it has all it takes to makes a bollywood masala muvi..beginning with a poverty stricken IIT aspirant who even aftr repeating an year in kota doesn't make it to a good engg insti..on the other hand is the protagonist's best frnd raghav who bags a good enuf rank and also gopal's love, aarti ( and thus the love-triangle)..then a certain shukla ji the politician comes into the picture..he is a mentor and father figure to gopal, but a villian for the other guy raghav who is trying to bring about this revolution against corruption and injustice!
the only thing that grabbed my attention was the bhagat's eye for detail and the kind of observations or shud i say allegations which he makes on girls thru the digs his character gopal makes at aarti..take for instance how he points out that girls use a '!' very often and a smiley when they want to avoid a topic or they don't kno about it..amusing as one may find at first this comparison and description of Girlese, but after a reading over hundred such pages it certainly becomes irritating..
the book like chetan bhagat's every other is a best seller thanks to the people who have just started reading novels and find the language easy and the subjects catchy..or shud i say thanks to the author for making people read atleast..
but i hope the author realises that there is dire need to revolutionize and write about things with greater depth and also i hope i wouldn't have to wait till 2020!
