Thanks for a nice time, Bhagat

Chetan Bhagat's "2 states" was so much fun. Such a frank way of writing. Commendable. I was not inclined to read it at first, as it was advertised as the story of the author's marriage...which was a put off. But since Ram had taken the book from the library, and as I had finished reading all the other books which I had borrowed, I thought I might as well read it. Pleasant surprise. I imagined Yuvraj Singh as the hero, and Asin as his beloved ;-). Not that they are my favs. My favorite moments in the book - the translucent veshti which "hides" the mickey mouse underwear, the lady's Dad telling the couple(before they depart to Delhi) not to be carefree since they were not married, and the guy casually thinking, "I guess he meant sex"(when they had "done" it much before). Ha ha. So funny.
