2 states - Chetan Bagat

Its again a magic masala from Chetan Bagat. He realized, what is expected out of him after his poor performance in The 3 mistakes of my life.

Story Line - Its evident from the back cover of the book or even from the title itself - "The story of my marriage".

Inspite of being evident, i have to tell it now. IIM-A guy(Krish) and IIM-A girl(ananya) fall in love. They belong to two different states. They want to get their parents acceptance and get married. Will they make it ? They will. How ? Like this....




Story :

College life:

Chetan Bagat mentioned it as his own life taken the shape of this book. Krish, the hero from punjab, and Ananya from TamilNadu love each other and decided to carry on further with marriage. Their college days, colorful romance, live-in relation for two years, sexy nights, naughty talks and lot more stuff in Chetan Bagat style are seen in this part of the book.

Chennai Life :

Krish moves to Chennai after getting a job to convince Ananya's parents to accept him. Since ananya is from some ultimately traditional family, it takes nerve out of Krish to convince them. His encounters with Ananya's father, Ananya's mother, brother and even a guy who comes to arrane marriage Ananya at some time. Krish faces all these issues along with his Bank works and fellow Chennai people. This can be called as the funniest part of the book.

Delhi life :

Since Krish convinced Ananya's Parents, its her time to do it back. So, Krish gets transferred and they go to Delhi. Ananya tries to please Krish's mom, but nothing worked out. After some filmy Female heroine role in a marriage, Ananya becomes Krish mom's favorite.

Family Fights :

When both family meets, they end up in fight and Ananya backs out from the entire love marriage plan. Krish suffers a mental Trauma and after a long struggle, his dad comes into picture after three books. Krish's Dad convinces Ananya's Family and the marriage is back.

Final part :

Its again a masala marriage session at Chennai. All relatives of Krish from Punjab comes to Chennai and teases each and every practice of Tamil Marriage, that reminds of some good old book that was shot as a serial.
