Few Idiots

The recent controversy over the adaption of theme of novel five point someone has outraged the whole Chetan Bhagat fans. The same author was a source of inspiration for all those
Guys who messed up their College life and still got a descent job.
Frustrated call centers guys, who are often being scolded for always making a call at wrong time.
Idiots who always remorse on the past; and are not ready to Move on with life after committing blunders.
Lovers who are entangled in the inter caste marriage tussle and have to run from pillar to post to convince their parents.

We find a little bit of us in each of his four novels. That was the only reason why Chetan captured the mood of entire nation. He employed simple words and refrained from using those heavy words with jargons. Thus his novels became an instant best seller as you are not supposed to have a degree in English Honors to digest the stuff.
But Few Idiots Amir, Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra joined hands and as usual bollywood plot made a remake of his best seller. Amir is always known for creating hype and cheap publicity before the release of his movies. You can watch him playing cricket, standing for Narmada Andolan, or playing with kids and this latest gimmick of disguising himself.
Chetan has his own fan circle that is intelligent enough to understand his emotions and not to be carried away by Amir’s allegations. I know that Chetan don’t have a mass appeal like Amir but he has a strong and intellectual base that is capable of defending him.
Well Amir my serious advice to you is to first crack IIM Ahmedabad and then even dare to write or speak absurd things about Chetan.
