Ananya Swaminathan from IIMA .. girl to watch out for!!

|
Chetan Bhagat has done the trick again.I relieved the magic of five point someone. Just finished reading his last one - 2 states. Man.. what a sense of humor this fella has. Rib tickling one liners and first person narration in the book was awesome.
I felt disappointed after his last one (3 mistakes..) , may be after writing that he committed the fourth mistake.
But this one is far apart and best after the first one.
Story is about the marriage of Ananya swaminathan ( south Indian girl) and Krish Malhotra (Punjabi boy).
"Pretty" tamil brahmin girl from "Chennai" ( a bit fiction and more of oxymoron statement), and Punjabi Boy krish. Both stuck up in IIM-A . They fell in Love,They make love.They want to marry with their parents consent. As usual parents oppose this relationship.
Boy opt for the job posting at chennai to woo the girls parents. Start's giving tutions to girls brother , helps her father in presentation and mother in singing by organizing the music concert.
Gets the approval from girls parents .
Now its time for south Indian girl to be accepted in punjabi family. Girl flies down to Delhi to woo krish's parents. After some harsh treatment gets approval , with a twist in tale made by krish's crazy father.
Ended up in marrying in Tamil style and later on giving birth to twins after 2 years .
Seems to be a simple story so what is unexpected and look out for in this book.
Chetan Baghat's one liner , his desi way of story telling and first person narration.There can be many people on earth who must have started reading novel after five point someone and this one is another brick in the wall.
Here are some of the one liners from his book.

--Ananya's introduction in book --
"I stole a sideways glance -- definitely above average. Actually, well above average. In fact, outlier by IIM-A standards. '
'Ananya Swaminathan -- best girl in the fresher batch,' seniors had already anointed her on the dorm board. We had only twenty girls in a batch of two hundred. Good-looking ones were rare; girls don't get selected to IIM for their looks. They get in because they can solve mathematical problems faster than 99.9 percent of India's population and crack the CAT. Girls like Ananya, if and when they arrive by freak chance, become instant pin-ups in our testosterone-charged, estrogen-starved campus.) "

---Krish giving tution to ananya's brother manju--
Manju: "Krish Bhai.. Can something bad happen if you watch blue films?'
Krish: 'If you just watch them?'
Manju: 'Just watching....and' hesitantly,'and if you do something else afterwards.'.
Krish: 'Why dont you ask your Appa?'
Manju: 'Aiyo, what are you saying?".
Krish: 'You could become blind'-with a serious face.
Manju: 'Really'?

--When ananya ask krish to be just friends ---

"Why wud any guy want to be friends with a girl? It's like agreeing to be near a Chocolate cake & never eat it. It's like sitting in a racing car but not driving it. Only wimps do that."

--When ananya shifted to krish's room --
Even though she never said " I love you", Ms Swaminathan moved in with me.I had freaked out about the idea when she arrived at my room one day with a backpack for overnight clothes. I'd have much preferred her place, as I didn't want her to be the only woman in the dorm with twenty testosterone-charged men.

--When Krish's landlord turned up unexpectedly and Ananya was boozed off--

'Baby, I'm sleepy', she said, trying to pull me back into bed.
'My landlord is here', I said. She didn't respond even though i shook her maniacally.
'Your appa is outside', I said.
She sprang up on the bed. 'What

--another one --
Pretty Girls behave best when you ignore them (Of course, they have to know you are ignoring them, for otherwise,they may not even know you exist).

--and another one--
" It is fascinating to see a sardar-ji speak in Tamil.LIKE SUN TV'S MERGER WITH ALPHA TV "

After the Scene at Rathna Stores T Nagar.
Krish:'You shoudn't have kissed me there.why did u do it??
Ananya: Because I couldn't help it,you are irresistible sometimes'.
Alright Mrs swaminathan if your daughter can't resist me,there is no way you can either.

And many more to look out for.
Hopefully worth spending a hundred bucks. Just give it a try and enjoy.
