The Three Mistakes of My Life

Its a novel by Chetan Bhagat. Read it in 3 days. Story was great, maybe because I was reading a novel after quite some time, maybe because our TV describes every picture in this world as a single horizontal line these days, maybe because it came at a price tag of JUST Rs. 95, maybe because the story was really great. Any of the above reasons could hold true, but whatever I enjoyed reading it.

I bought it from Big Bazaar and it was a casual buy. However it emphasizes how important the display area is near the place where your pocket becomes lighter i.e. the billing area. If used properly, it can make your pocket become even lighter. I was lucky enough to escape with just Rs. 95 and at the end of it, I think it was a good buy - the best of the lot of things we bought that day.

After reading the novel, I brought out Five Point Someone which I had bought some time back but had never read it till finish. By the way, it also costs Rs. 95. Is it superstition, Mr. Chetan Bhagat? Maybe not, but definitely on the cheaper side and quality is also good. Maybe they go by quantity and keep their margin less. Whatever, I also need to buy A Night at a Call Center now. Any guesses for what its price would be! My 10 paisas on Rs. 95.

He will still be an employee!

A casual discussion between friends and what better topic than the currently going on IPL. The conversation slowly went into King XI and Team Mohali and their owner Preity / Ness. The majority believed that Preity was slowly getting closer to Yuvraj (we all have opinions and what better topic to have opinions on than something which combines cricket with entertainment). With all the hugs she gives him after every match and it being highlighted in different newspapers everyday, it only made sense. And of course, Yuvraj would earn and get closer to Ness in coming years. But suddenly someone from somewhere in the coversation came out with this:

At the end of the day, he will still be an employee!
