Sorry for neglecting this blog so much. Just been really tied up with a lot of things lately and exams in 12 days!!! But I promise you all after the 11th of October, you will see a lot more of me. Till then, miss me loads!
Okay then! Now this is very amusing. One of the lead characters in the book has the same name as me. Ironic indeed or what?
But I'm a bit confused.…What is this whole concept of a half-girlfriend? Is it one who you hold hands with but cannot go beyond that or one you keep showering with gifts?!
I'm sure there are a whole list of do's and dont's just like every other couple follows.
My idea of a half-girlfriend would be as close to an imaginary girlfriend =D
Because, you wouldn't like all your extremely sophisticated peeps know that you are going out with someone below your "standards".
But I still don't get what the real deal is over here?
I'm sure we will all be able to find out next month when Chetan Bhagat's next new book releases "Half Girlfriend"
It is said to revolve around a well-educated Delhi bitch, Riya and a low-class Bihari boy named Madhav. He is trying his very best to get her to like him but she is being that total rich babe.
The video teaser of the book was something that really caught my attention:
"Madhav didn't speak English well. Riya did. Madhav wanted a relationship. Riya didn't. Riya wanted friendship. Madhav didn't. Riya suggested a compromise. She agreed to be his half-girlfriend."
I am usually not the first one to even bother to read up any article about this author but then, there was the title of this very particular book that really got me thinking. This is exactly how we perceive things to be in our own societies today. If one does not know English, does that mean it's end of the world?!
Hopefully through this book, we will get to know more about our various caste systems.
So what if one does not know English? As a matter of fact, I am not very fluent at all with our country's language but I am still making an effort to learn now and it's never too late to do so.
I have quite a lot of expectations from this book. So Mr Chetan Bhagat, its a request... Pretty Please with a cherry on top, do not disappoint me!!!
Chick lits have always been my thing but after faithfully stalking his twitter profile everyday for the latest updates, yes… I am very excited!!!
Check this blog for more updates on the same… The book review will be up very soon and it should be a positive one!
