The 3 mistakes of my life
is the third book from Chetan Bhagat. He has been now termed as the best selling english novelist in India. The book starts with a suicide note received by chetan bhagat.
He finds out the address of the particular through orkut and he sets out to find the boy only to find him hospitalised. He finds out the story with the promise to publish it.
Thus begins the story in the backdrops of Ahmedabad city and the ups and downs of his life and his decision to take such a step.
Chetan Bhagat has very well interleaved the 3 mistakes and the calamities which invade his life. The story takes a stride through his efforts to establish himself & his friends, making extra money through cricket coaching & maths tuitions, the communal politics played in India, the death of his friend and how all these events take a toll on his life.The story has an excellent climax interleaved with emotions, joy and sorrow . Unlike other 2 novels by Chetan Bhagat, this has all the ingredients for a perfect, classy novel.He has broken all the chords.a must read buk.
Kudos to Mr. Bhagat.

I read this book last month. Its not much interesting as Five Point Someone. Up to the half the novel is so boring. But the novel conveyed good message.

hey
i read dis novel a few months back only bt did not find it as interesting as Chetan Bhagat’s earlier two novels…..bt kudos to the author for intertwining religion, friendship,love as well as sports all into one book.

i read another review of this book recently
what i found catching there is..
lemme copy it from there
“The story is supposed to be based on real incidents,I found a few odd things in the story.”
The 3 mistakes of chetan Bhagat - in this book
Mistake one:
The whole Ali story looks suspicious- here are three point to support that
a)Can anyone really fool an entire set of stadium officials with a single VIP visting card?
b)30 minutes after the match these guys take over the stadium and let Ali face 6 balls – none including the ground staff,photojournalists,Aussie/Indian team members ever question them or notice Ali’s ability to hit sixes.
c)Govind orders passports and visas on phone with a travel agent as if he is ordering a domestic air ticket.But in a country like India, a passport takes nearly 2 months to arrive ”
and here is the second one mentioned there.(this one is really interesting to read)this proves the intelligence of that review writer
“Mistake two:
Page 214 of the book says they watched riots happened in Feb 2002 while NDTV India was launched on 14 April 2003.Certainely they couldn’t have seen Godhra riot scenes on NDTV – might have been some other channel but chetan just mentioned NDTV.
Mistake three :
a) An earthquake is not the end of everything- a clever business man like Govind could have thought of options like seeking a refund from the mall owner or compensation from insurance money,etc.
b)During 2000-2002,mobile phones were not that common.They were just making their presence felt but hadn’t reached the mass.In this story almost all characters carry a mobile which sounds bit unusual.”
I would like to know sreejith’s take on this, as he is from gujarat
