Review of "The Three Mistakes of My Life" - by Digvijay Singh

Awakening a generation to reading takes more than some sheer magic and Chetan has proved that in sense more than one, he's an Indian Rowling.

With his third novel, he has matured lot more and has ably intertwined serious real issues like Riots, Earthquakes, Cricket, Religions and Politics in a single package.

Characters in his tale are larger than life and often you feel them coming to life and making you feel emotions in a way, you never thought was possible.

His witty humor retains the charm exhibited in his previous worlds of IIT & Call Centers. Like his earlier works, his words on paper will soon translate to a colorful life on 35 mm this time as well.

A reader is left dumbstruck as Chetan captures the real soul of India in Cricket and spins a suspense marvel, which you can't put down till Ali hits a six in London.

A blissful forbidden romance in midst of all gruesome tensions lends a special charm and Vidya's persona scores a perfect century without even a single swing of a bat.

The delicacy of religious sentiments, the ferociousness of riots, the shrewdness of politics, the felicity of love, the bond of friendship and the craze of cricket everything finds an apt place in his imaginations.

Chetan is the undisputed King of author's fraternity and no doubt his books have smashed sales records of 7 figures with ease.

Critics may continue questioning Chetan's contribution to the literary universe, but the truth remains that words from his pen pluck the strings of Indian hearts in every dimension, like nothing else.

Digvijay(DJ) is my colleague and a good friend of mine. He is funny, smart and bright in his own sweet way
