Birthday Special
25 Sept 1985 : Blessed with younger brother. Unlike me - huge and hairy.
1 Feb 1987 : Wore my first school uniform - gray pleated skirt, with hanky pinned in the front button. That was the best dress I ever liked. In school, I was asked to translate the word Apple into Mizo. I had no clue.
Jan 1990 : Moved to another town - Kolasib. New friends, new place, new school, new school uniform - blue skirt time, which i did not like it.
Dec 1990 : Somehow found out that Santa is not real.
Jan 1992 : Moved to bigger town - Aizawl. New school - Mary Mount School. I did not have friend in the first six months. But got better eventually where I met few of my good friends and Tlangnuam turned out to be my second home. I was elected as House Captain and that's when I realized I will not be a politician in this life.
Feb 1996 : Finally in high school. But nothing seemed like a high for three years. Knee-length skirt, pony-tailed hair with balck clips, no rings, no chains, no nailpolish, no earrings, no treading eye brows, no coloured hair. Life was simple though. But believe me, rules hardly mattered to me. I guess I was one person who was caught every wednesday.
April 1998: Had a really huge fight with Mr.KJ Joseph. I was suspended from the history class for one whole term. He put me back to his class when he found out I cleared his paper without attending any of his class.
Early 1999 : My 10th result was out. Time for me to bid goodbye to Tlangnuam where I spent 7 years of my life.
1999 - 2001: Enjoyed the chill mountains of Nilgiri Hills in Ooty. Girls' school, girls' hostel, girls everywhere. Good that I still learned alot for 2 years.
From 2001: Here

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
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
