the 3 mistakes of “his” life..

A couple of days back I borrowed a book by Chetan Bhagat from my friend.. I used to read a lot when i was in college but I haven’t touched a book after I  graduated.. Now some how i got back to reading.

The 3 mistakes of my life.

When i was in school we used to donate a book to our library on our birthday. My principal used to say that the best thing ever gifted is  a book. I was too young to understand what that mean. But now i know, and i feel how true it is. Words are the best way to express oneself.

By the end of 2007, i had faced some drastic changes in life which shattered me. I don’t remember who, but someone told me.. “you are the heroine of your life” … i deeply thank them for letting me know such a fact. When i was in my 11th and 12th classes, i used to feel amazed seeing people working in software companies, MNCs and think how independently they are leading their lives. When i got into engineering college.. i used to admire our college final year batch students who got placed into software companies.

When I got into final year, i saw my friends getting placed and leading the “amazing” life i used to imagine. I felt like everyone became hero and heroines. When i get into a problem, I try to visualize myself getting out of my shoes. I feel like watching the whole scenario from someone’s view. We get to talk to so many people in our life. Every individual have their own life, relationships, aims, thoughts, interests. Sometimes I feel like writing a book about every person i encounter. It sounds insane but yeah i feel like doing that. As i mentioned, everyone are hero and heroines of their own lives. Don’t every hero and heroine have a story of their own?

Now, i finished reading the book that narrated the 3 mistakes Mr.Govind Patel made in his life. Govind is just a usual man, nothing special in him. He isn’t characterized as a hero in the book but its written from his point of view. His aims, interests, beliefs, views up on life.. everything is narrated in such a good way. He did mistakes and acted selfish ..for which he had to pay so much later. Yet, he is the hero of his life.

[one thing that tickled me all through the book is, its never mentioned that he have computer knowledge and can make a mail and had a orkut account, which made me think some masala is added to the book to keep it spicy, or may be some parts are discarded to keep the story short.]

Am happy to see a book writen about a normal guy. Its just like my dream of seeing a book about ever individual [no matter if they are good or bad or hero or heroine] come true.

I wish good luck to Ali [a charector in the book] and hope to see him in our Indian cricket team one day. Cheers.

P.S1: I feel so sad about the religious fights that happen in our country

P.S2: Get a copy of the book and look into it., such a nice writing.

P.S3: Got to find the other two books written by Chetan Bhagat, I feel curious
