@Kookie - my friends have been raving about Highway on Facebook .. apparently Alia was really good. Someone posted Hasee Toh Phasee was a fun romcom .. it's on my watchlist .. hopefuly I will get to it sometime.
I started reading 2 states a month ago.. then became busy and stopped reading. What can I say .. its a typical Chetan Bhagat book. I hope the movie is made like Kai Po Che was .. and not like 3 idiots.
I've read 2 States - the only CB book I read because I was taking a train from Delhi to Cal and had to buy a book to read. As an easy breezy read it works well, although Chetan stuff it full of stereotypes. That mother in the book - it's almost like he had a Kirron Kher type lound Punjabi mom in mind when he was writing her.
What's funny is that I was reading the Bolly discussion forum thread on the movie and everyone mentioned how they found the Ananya character annoying and overbearing. CB clearly based Ananya on his wife - this is the story of his marriage - so if he writes his wife's character as annoying, wonder what that says about his marriage 😆
BTW saw CB in Flury's in Park Street one time with wife and in-laws in tow. He himself of course is super photoshopped in all his pics. But if he's claiming his wife was the hottest girl in IIMA when they both were there - ummm...no offense but I'd like to know what he was smoking.
