The man who knew
the metropolitan heart of India’s heart. The major difference I noticed between
and other world renowned Indian writers like R K Narayan, Khushwant Singh or
Anita Desai is that they touched the chord of an ordinary and classical India
in a black and white frame. Instead chetanji draws out the modern frame from a
background classical frame.
Some of his books like REVOLUTION2020 and 2 STATES show
how the westernifying India conflicts with the classical India. If you are
looking for an entertainer, go for him. His real life scenarios would surely
surprise you. Even there are many dialogues which all of you would find that
you would have said during your teens. All of his characters are true mirrors
of metropolitan India’s youth.
If I were to
make a ranking of his novels, it would be something like this:
1.
REVOLUTION 2020
2. 2 STATES
3. ONE NIGHT
AT THE CALL CENTER
4. FIVE
POINT SOMEONE
5. THREE
MISTAKES OF MY LIFE
