2 States: A Novel

Just reading this book during the past weekend, i can't put it down. After a long time, a fresh read of the Indian writing fantasies you. The characters are so real, as if it happening in the next door, or that one can relate to easily with the friends and neighbours. Today, as an emerging nation, we need to be more united, standing together for the upliftment of the society, to keep our spirits alive, leave alone all the things which may discourage us .

There are lot of issues, comes to mind. Regionalism, chauvinism, dirty politics, closed minds and society etc. But a great read like this push forward, opens the eyes of readers, wonderful ideas to move ahead with those intrinsic characters, which more of real, do add more values. The highlight of the novel is:

Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy.
They get married.
In India, there are a few more steps:
Boy loves Girl. Girl loves Boy.
Girl's family has to love boy. Boy's family has to love girl.
Girl's Family has to love Boy's Family. Boy's family has to love girl's family.
Girl and Boy still love each other. They get married.


Really, you came as a whiff of fresh air. Thanking you Mr Master Storyteller, you really know the million minds of the Indian readers. Keep going.
