3 Mistakes or My Mistake...

Hi Guys..

This blog is for those who have read 3 Mistakes by Chetan Bhagat...

Hey Don't worry me not discussing the Story here...

This book shows that an author can be called so only when he writes from the heart...
I considered Chetan to be an author in making when he wrote 5.Someone...
But this book disappointed me. I expected a lot from the book. The book does not have soul. The book is a random web of characters painted in an unrelated backdrop of events. This book could have been crafted well... Nevertheless it does showcase some critical mistakes... Quite generic for all.
But Chetan still needs to go a long way before any claims of being an author.

I had read "My Experiments with Truth" before this. My criticisms might be on account of a comparison. But still if I try to think without biases..... Chetan has to really prove something....

PS: Do read it... and post your views !!!

Confusing Belongingness !!!

Writing a blog again.. After a long time though coz of my hectic sched. for the past one month.  Amidst all the noises about one's origin and belongingness to a state or a city, I was contemplating about my roots. By origin I am a Palakkad Iyer, which is a Tamil community residing in north Malabar region of Kerala. So by virtue of that I speak a Tamil with a flavor of Malayalam words. So the food habits etc. are a confluence of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Kerala never objected to our belonging and never criticized our roots to Kerala. So I am related to Tamil Nadu & Kerala.  I was born in Jamshedpur, presently Jharkhand but was Bihar in 1984. So by that I belong to two more states. I was brought up in a small town Chakradharpur, an hour away frm Jamshedpur. Soon we shifted to Bilaspur, a town in Madhya Pradesh which is now part of Chattissgarh. So again I claim my belongingness to two more states. I did my Master's degree from Pune, MAHARASHTRA, did my internship in Bangalore, K

A Tryst that Made me Wonder !!!

When life is at its monotonous best, something unusual happens which takes you by surprise. Ok, not surprise but then such incidents make you wonder and ponder. On a usual day after the office, I and my roomie struggled to find a rick who would be kind enough to commute us to Goregaon from Andheri. And we were fortunate as we got one soon. As  the journey progressed the curious Auto guy spoke about the MNS issues etc. and he mentioned he was from South India rather Chennai. I started interacting in Tamil and then we came to know about his past and present which made us wonder. He came down to Mumbai when he was 16 years old and has been plying Auto-rickshaw since then. Looking at his present age he would have completed 40 years in this city. His eldest son works for Godrej (which I thought would be a menial job) but his salary is around 35k/month. His second son has set up a business and earns 40K/month and owns a Maruti Zen. His 3rd son is also working for some company after compl

Is Paradox a Transient State !!!

Hi This is my 1st blog... Will start with talking about something which really fascinates me. It is the word Paradox ! My buddies at Symbi would attest it. I use it frequently... Actually my gtalk message reads "Is Paradox a transient state". Well, no one gave me an apt answer. The reasons: It wouldn't have enticed anyone or some would have brushed it as a weird thought or some who thought were unable to observe the things existing around.... The dictionary defines it as " a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth." It says it all..... This is the reason behind me getting curious about Paradox... Ponder on the meaning which says "A POSSIBLE TRUTH" Now my question: "Is paradox a transient state ?" Well, the state of paradox is a state of imbalance.... According to nature, imbalance is never sustained. Then why we see paradox existing around us which are not momentary... You d
