the 3 mistakes of my life

Chetan Bhagat, leading English Author of Indian Nationality, has presented a real time story of Gujrati friends in his newly released novel 'the 3 mistakes of my life'. There is no doubt that this 250 pages novel of Rupa Paperback publications has full right to emerge as another best seller after his '5 point someone' and 'one night @ call centre'. It inspires to resolve religious, political, social & calamity issues of life instead of getting devastated. I really appreciate the cover of nove which reflect all the aspect of novel and especially the THREE. You can observe three differnt colors, three different men and three different stump. By the end, it shows a ray of hope to Indian Cricket Lovers for having a nice Batting Strength in future due to its connection with reality.

This novel is a narrated story of three friends Govind, Ishaan & Omi and narrator is former one. All have their different aspiration related to business, cricket & religion respectively. As a stable source of income they opened up a business shop. It gave them an opportunity to train a child named Ali, as future of Indian Cricket Team. They faced a lot of problems related to politics, religion, calamities & unacceptable love. In this story, they try to overcome these problem & their committed MISTAKES. Number of mistakes is not hard to guess. Above all, the description of terrifying experience about Bhuj Earthquake and Godhra Kand is really nicely written. Pointing the message of story is hard, but 'Success' is not an obvious answer of 'attempt' is clear message that floats on every page.

A common man can easily attach himself with the story due to its connection with real incidents. It is simply a real time narrated story with lack of extra spice. So it is the call of reader whether they appreciate spicy story or real story. I feel it as a nice story which binds reader with its flow. Giving it one try will be worth ones you finish off with this medium sized novel. Personally speaking, I like the real time connection, sensual description (especially), risk taking character of child & simple story telling way of author. I will recommend this novel for all kind of people except those who are fond of good language.

Angel & Demons


Imagination King, Dan Brown who brought Da Vinci Code and Deception Point published ambigramical 'Angel & Demons' with Pocket Star Books, New York in 2000. Dan Brown continued with his reputation as Sci-Fi Story Teller with soft hand touch on Sex for excitement. This novel of more than 500 pages focuses on the downfall of Religion with time due to Scientific Inventions. It criticizes the attempts made, by religious leaders, for intensifying the Gods presence.

Angel & Demons states the adventurous journey of Robert Langdon to Vatican City who is reputable professor & symbology expert. Vittoria is a physics scientist who accompanied Robert in her journey of saving Vatican City from the attack of Illuminati. Both defenders had successfully solved the treasure hunt in deciphering the four murder sites related to water, air, fire, earth. The election of Pope in Vatican City is the only motive which resolved in a dramatic way when world came to know about anti-religious group of Illuminati.

Suspense is the main key of Dan Brown which remains in novel till the last page. Novel is a complete set of History, Science and Religion which is signified by three different groups of Illuminati, CERN, and Vatican Church. According to me, this fiction is really appreciable and one should read atleast once. IITians can feel it as a perfect novel which correlates religion and science of a progressive world. I was in trance after reading novel due to unbelievable instances like Illuminati's exposure, Robert's Sky Dive, Vittoria's figure, labeled dead bodies. At last, I personally recommend you to read this thick novel with great determination for an exciting ending at the last page.

The Deception Pont


Famous The Da Vinci Code Man DAN BROWN fed a case study dipped in suspense to it readers with his novel, 'DECEPTION POINT', published by Corgi Book, Great Britain in 2002. Turning each page of Novel create suspense in mind of Reader & led to the excitement towards amidst builded Story. Topic of Novel is justified by Author with the existence of plenty of deceptive points in life of various characters of Story and he tried to focus the deception point on Milne Ice Shelf. Novel found to be knocking at the doorways of Authentic Powers of America like NASA, NRO, White House, and Delta Forces etc.

Sometimes, Situation like failure of Delta force seems to be a lot co-incidental but it's a demand of Story. Logics felt to leave their grip when Civil Scientist took time to refute the authenticity of Meteorite. I think its authenticity became objectionable with the revealed facts from Norah Manogar's GPR printouts. I am unconvinced with the strange base of story which is found to be impractical in real world. The president of India can never be worried about existence of Pakistan. Somehow if it happens than he cannot go to such an extent in saving Pakistan's existence that it causes danger to his own personal life. Such bizarre situation forms the basis of this interesting novel which has disappointed me.

According to me, No more vague situation is present which make story up to mark and provide the connectivity. DAN has again proved himself with the perfect description of situations as a real life scenario. Scientific proofs provided by him are beyond expectation & one should go through them at least once in life. The Best part of this case-study is related to the hidden identification of Controller throughout the Novel which became a shocking & unimaginative part in end. In short, DAN has wonderfully used the Science for creating suspense which binds the Reader throughout the reading of Novel. Through his 583 pages thick novel he convinced that mind is indeed friend in dreadful time by presenting extraordinary solution in critical situations of characters at Milne Ice Shelf, Ice-berg, Shark attack etc. Reading this Case-study requires a basic knowledge in vast fields including some simple Science Laws like Buoyant Force and all. My Retrospect rate this Book as a readable stuff for IITian Guys, who found to be obviously technically Sound, if they can find time to go through 582.5 printed pages of this 4X6 inch Novel.
