About the Author: Chetan Bhagat worked as an Investment Banker in Hong Kong after graduating from IIM-A where he met his wife, Anusha.
He is the author of six bestselling novels, one of which is 2 States. His novels Five Point Someone, One Night @ The Call Centre and The 3 Mistakes of my Life have all been successfully adapted into movies. He is also a columnist and a speaker.
My Views:
I seriously do hate Chetan Bhagat. Being a writer he should concentrate more on his writings than on any other things. But as far as his writing his concerned I love his works. 2 States will always be one of my favorite and if you are new to this reading world then you must start with this book.
The protagonists of this story are Krish & Ananya and the whole story revolves around them. The story begins in a dramatic way as Krish narrates his life's story to a doctor precisely, a psychiatrist. Krish meets Ananya for the very first time at IIMA canteen's mess where the latter was having an argument with the head chef. It was more or less like a love at first sight for both of them. Few days later after their first meet and some group studies both realized their love for each other. And very soon they became inseparable love couple. But as it is said, in India love marriages are not as simple as it looks like; things for them also started becoming tough.

As Krish is a guy from North India, his family was in search of a
rich girl who can bring loads of dowry to their family. Indeed it is Krish’s mother who wanted a Punjabi girl so that she could boast about it to her relatives and to the society of which she is a part..
On the other hand, Ananya’s father (a typical South Indian) was trying to get her marry with a boy who works in a foreign country and earns a respectable amount of salary.Since both the families belonged to two different states, their taste varied.

So to convert their love story into a love cum arrange marriage
they had to fight a tough battle in making their parents agree. And ultimately, love wins…
A perfect, sweet and romantic love story which will take you to the
real Indian society; a cheap mentality society where caste and kundli are being
more preferred to love and life..
