Utter rubbish"
"Xcuse me you are talking about my favourite writer and a most celebrated one in India and you don't have any right to abuse him"
"yup of course he is great author (of arrested intellect ) but I m not abusing him but I am telling what he writes.
"whatever but how can one who has never written anything in his entire life challenge his intellect .He is an IITian a IIM alumnus and look at you? you are nothing against him ."
"Ya you are right and i m really sorry".
"ya that's better"
This was a extract from a conversation I had with my friend a week after Revolution 2020 was released and you are right the subject was Mr. Chetan Bhagat ,the celebrated literary of young India with burgeoning fan followers.But here I am with different opinion almost outcasted as you would have known by now and many of you would have start thinking "what the hell ,utter rubbish"and will quit reading in next few sentences .And it is very obvious after all I am not a Chetan .Actually "A Chetan" and not "The Chetan"becoz in the last five or six years you can see mushrooming of chetan and spreading of this intellectual contagion all over India especially in engineering colleges (even inferior colleges like NITs are inflicted by this ).We engineers are worst victim of this literary influenza and its pretty obvious considering the lot of time we are provided with to waste like I am wasting now.
Actually not a long time back in my very first year of ragging free college i was facing with a problem of lot of time to spend doing nothing as even ragging was abandoned till then ,so a wildest of thought occurred to me of exploring " Chetan within me" ,so I decided to pen down my own love story with a exaggeration of sex.But after drafting of few pages I quit and of course there were reasons :
Firstly I never happened to met daughter of my HOD
And secondly with the first sight of my HOD I stopped thinking about his female offspring
so this is how my first attempt to seize" Chetan within" failed.But I still continued to read his writings though slowly and slowly I dont know why my absorption in his novels showed a negative graph may be my saturation point for Love Sex and Crap was achieved or the humor grasping power of my mind was on a downrun as now I was a engineering student and depletion of intellectual layers is quite a phenomenon in here.
Whatever ,by the time Bhagat 2020 was released I was completely turned bigot as many of my friends think (although i am not pretty sure of that)and yes from what I grasped I concluded that Bhagat and Revolution can be used as synonyms as good or bad he has reinvigorate a new style of writing which has a far better connectivity than BSNLAlthough I agree that he is a celebrity and I dont even have a 'C' of celebrity in my name but after all India is country with egalitarian society and I am free man as far as my interpretation of constitution is considered and free to say whatever I like to say.
Talking about country and constitution , I remember that few time back after reading one of the Love stories of a gifted IITian I thought of mailing a copy to Kapil Sibbal hoping that he might pass some new resolution of introducing a separate paper of 'SENSE OF LITERATURE ' in JEE which i think is very much required seeing the sabotage of literature and selling grapevein stuffs under the veneer of classic.
I know by now many of them have stopped reading this but the ones who are still struggling through this must be a great fan of Chetan as only they can develop such a resistance to crap like this.So here is a question for all you readers
Have you ever found a trace of substance in what you say literature (although I don't consider it the same) of Chetan ?well even if you would have tried you could not have found one coz there is none.
Well I am in resonance with your opinion that Mr Bhagat is a genius, dynamic personality but he is not a writer .Well I see him more of a man who is observer enough to grasp the veins of India,and poured the fluid of the veins into his book so that everyone is able to attach a bit of themselves to the book and thanks to the Indian population if everyone attaches a miniscule of himself with his books his book is the national bestseller the very next day .The problem is not that the people read him ,problem is they are succumbing to the arrested intellectual and considering Love Sex and Crap equivalent to Shakespeare's love and tragedy classics.
This one is for Mr Bhagat....
Mr 2020 now I think is high time that you should stop playing T-20 and start with some real test matches coz in the world of cricketing history(as you must be familiar of it apparent from your books on cricket ) it is the test match that has survived all the ups and downs and even today in the era of T-20 it is the test that decides a real cricketer ,T-20 is just a instrument of entertainment which sooner or later will be replaced by a more enthralling and faster version .
