2 States - The Story of My Marriage

Just came back from the book launch ceremony of the most eagerly awaited title of 2009... Chetan Bhagat's "2 States.. the story of my marriage".

I still can't believe that Chetan responded to my mail where I requested him for a pass for the event. No wonder that Chetan is heartthrob of the Youth of this country and world over.

I read the prologue of the book at the event and can't wait to finish the remaining 270 pages. Chetan and his wife Anusha read an excerpt from the book, where Krish and Ananya are dating for the first time. Krish and Ananya are Chetan and Anusha in real life.

The event started with a brief little speech from Mr. Mehra of Rupa & Co. Chetan is the record breaking author in Indian history. His book "One Night @ the Call Centre" has sold more than 10 million copies, i.e. one book per 30 second.

The title of all his books till date has a number in it:

Five Point Someone
One Night @ The Call Centre
The Three Mistakes of My Life

And now

2 States.. The Story of My Marriage

Shashi Taroor rightly said that his next title should be "Four bestsellers and still going strong". He also mentioned that one of the commonalities between him and Chetan is that one of their twin son's name is Ishaan.

Somehow I have a feeling that Chetan will be one of the 543 MPs of India in years to come. I guess this is his natural progression. Am I right Chetan?
