‘The 3 mistakes of my life’ – Chetan Bhagat

This book is a plot on religion, business coupled with cricket. Govind the businessman nearly the Prince of the tale gets ready to annihilate himself after erring to 3 nos in his life that he considers the mistakes donned. Ishaan and Omi close friends to Govind take few predominant seats in the play. This tale starts with the suicidal attempt redirected through a mail. Govind portrayed as the business man is good at numbers. He aspires to start his own establishment. He groups his friends for their assistance. They start their way to set up a business of cricket shop. They move on different poles to expand their business. One can teach or play cricket the other can teach Maths and one can handle business. On the lines of expansion Govind finds him helpless when the quake knocks down his new shop before it could open to public. This is was the kick start mistake. The play also finds its soil in Australia when Ishaan tries to perk up Ali his disciple into a different league. Life twists when Govind the Math genius meets Vidya Ishaan’s sister. He lands up betraying his friend Ishaan by romancing Vidya wrecking the limits that spot the second mistake of his. With Govind’s intrigue romance with Vidya and Ishaan’s passion on cricket the story twists with some religion brawls between the Hindus and the Muslims. The third mistake peeps in at the end of the religious battle where Ali’s wrist gets a bang when Govind comes to rescue trailing by few seconds. What continues from there till the end forms the cliff of the narration. The author by his pale conversational dialogues keeps the pace of the story racy. An unpredictable scene from a real drama and rib tickling narration makes one say cheese. After the triumph of Five Point Someone, Chetan is back with 3 mistakes - the best one.
