- Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.   ) Aurorae | Jun 9, 2021 |  Chetan Bhagat reuses the literary device he used in his previous novel, "One Night @ the Call Center" of listening to someone else's story and retelling it to us. But that only means some pages in italics at the beginning and the end and doesn't really interfere with the novel, except for switching the perspective at the conclusion. It opens with Bhagat receiving an emailed suicide note from someone in Ahmedabad he's never heard of before. Intrigued and worried he wants to do something to help, but doesn't know what to do. Fortunately, "there are advantages in having a wife who is smarter than you" and she tells him to call an old college professor there... Finding out the unknown suicide's name and what hospital he's in, Bhagat can't relax at all and flies from Singapore to India to talk to him. From there it's all Govind's story about his and his two oldest best friends' ambitions and the three big mistakes he made that drove him to kill himself. Set against a backdrop of real events in Gujarat and India, earthquake, religious riots and international cricket, we follow the rise of Govind, Ish and Omi's small business as they try to balance their individual interests. Only Govind has a head for business, math and logic, but he learns about passion from his friends, like Ish's passion for cricket and Omi's for his family's political ambitions. And when he curses strongly in front of Ish's younger sister and apologizes she says he needn't, it's a sign of passion and she likes when he does it. In the end, all three mistakes are resolved, of course. One is resolved long before the end and hardly seems a big mistake at all. The others take a bit more time. I enjoyed the book overall. It was a fun read. ( ) KevinRubin | Aug 4, 2020 |  )1  shubhamchaudhary | Jan 27, 2020 |  ) loonyloon | Oct 26, 2017 | ) Soulmuser | May 30, 2017 | ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
It chronicles the delightful and tragic tale of these young men as they embark on a journey to find success in their lives and careers. Govind has forever cherished a dream of setting up his own business, while Omi and Ishaan have always been relatively laid back in life. Together they start a cricket shop.Instead of focusing on the business, Ishaan aspires to mentor a gifted batsman, Ali. Omi, on the other hand, is not very opportunistic and ambitious and his only aim in life is to be there for his friends and support them in all their endeavours. However, nothing comes easy in life especially when you are stuck in a city which is caught up in chaos and turmoil. To realise their dreams, the boys have to face the worst of the circumstances - communal riots, massive earthquake, religious politics, and above all they have to bear the brunt of all their mistakes. Will the boys be able to come out triumphant from this messy situation?Three Mistakes of My Life was adapted into a movie called Kai Po Che! which was directed by Abhishek Kapoor.
