It gave me a feel that the lady is an airhostess with Indian origin. I’m not sure why the scarf and the bottom were in same color. It most probably looked like a sad ending. It was just mentioned only once when Madhav and Riya were talking sweet nothings. The mention of the word ‘Half Girlfriend’ which was given so much hype didn’t have that much of meaning in the book. That one line was enough to make us think, “Ok! This guy is not gonna prosper!” Great way to escape from grammar police and literary bureaucrats. He starts the book by saying it’s for non-English types. But still a loser who could say funny anecdotes. The hero on the other hand is a regular chap, a loser to be precise but I think here he’s a handsome fellow. It’s a must that a character must have a dramatic past to be quiet in Chetan’s books. The difference here is like how a guy has a past the girl has a past here. I’ll shove everything in a chapter and then proceed with the story.’įor a change the heroine wasn’t a bitch unlike his other books. ‘You see I’ve travelled and got all the places in my list. The hero and heroine meet for the second time and he shows all the places around Bihar. Both looks like books written out of paper cuttings and a couple of visits to the place. Half girlfriend was about rural places or more specifically Bihar. If Revolution 2020 was about college and education system dealt badly. His previous book revolution 2020 dealt with colleges which looked like the after effect of watching his own book five point someone on screen as Three Idiots. What I’m trying to say his even he has to know what he’s writing. You have to know what to expect when you are reading him. I’m not criticizing his literary structure or his writing style. But when he started talking about reforming India, share his political viewpoints in paper etc. His funny anecdotes and how life sucks would have got a lot of applause. The maximum he could have done was to talk in colleges. That pretty much spoilt even the least bit of respect I had on him. Bringing his political view points and stuff.

His worst decision was to try to educate Indian or clean India. The books which he wrote later were the ones with loser guys and gorgeous girls. But the problem with him his he didn’t try anything different. Like his previous book I was literally shoved with this book in my hand and I too have a soft corner with this guy.

This guy has got quite an impact with the Indian youth who wanted to add one more book to their shelf.

Even if you don’t the opposite party does. I made a conscious decision to not read the book but whenever someone sees me reading a book in bus or there is a conversation about any books you end up talking about Chetan Bhagat. The problem with Chetan Bhagat is either you love him or hate him.

Books like half girlfriend
