The 3 Mistakes of My Life

Don’t worry; I am not going to discuss ‘The 3 mistakes of MY Life’. It is the book titled ‘The 3 Mistakes of my Life’ which I read yesterday. The Book is written by our very own IIM Grad – Mr. Chetan Bhagat. I prefixed IIM rather than suffixing it mainly because that prefix says everything about the caliber of that person.
As I Said, I read it yesterday and I read it in one go. The book is very interesting. It is a typical Chetan Bhagat Book. After the humungous success of his ‘Five Point Someone’ and 'One night @ call centre’, the expectations of readers from his 3rd book was sky high. And let me tell you, the author has kept up with the expectations. The book is really very interesting.
The book tells a story about this young guy called Govind Patel from Ahmadabad, who has dream of owning a business. He takes help of his friends, Ish and Omi to start a business. But it’s easier said than done. To achieve their aim, they have to go through various troubles, pitfalls and above all their own mistakes. The book tells you how they face all these problems and come out of it.
The tag line of the book is – ‘The story about Business, Cricket and Religion’.
This shows that the author has touched those issues which are very important and close to almost every Indian. Thus, this is a book that every Indian can relate to.
The book has very interesting twist and turns that keeps you at the edge of your seat. The last episode or rather chapter where the three young lads fight with the people of their own community to save a kid from another community has been portrayed beautifully. The only negative aspect about the book is the timing of the narration of those 3 mistakes. They come when you least expect them. The last mistake is not very appealing as there are many other mistakes which are more important than the last one. The Book has a little bit of Vulgarity as you can expect it from a Chetan Bhagat Book. But all in all a must read for everyone. The most important aspect of any book is that it should never get boring and it should keep the reader on the edge of his seat. This has been beautifully executed by the author by his witty sense of humor and wonderful frame of sentences. The most important thing about the book is that the author has touched those issues that are relevant to majority of Indians .There is nothing important to learn from this book but as I said it’s a Chetan bhagat book . You expect more entertainment and less moral messages from his book .The NewYork Times apprised him by saying-‘The biggest selling English-Language novelist in India’s history’. And by reading this book, one can easily conclude that the author truly deserves such kind of admiration. If you start reading it, I am sure you will finish it off in one go.The book truly leaves an indelible impression.
