2 States: The Story of My Marriage

2 States: The Story of My Marriage is Chetan Bhagat's much-loved comic novel about love, family and everything that happens when two very different Indian worlds collide.
Love marriages around the world are simple: boy loves girl, girl loves boy, they get married. In India there are a few more steps. The girl's family has to love the boy, the boy's family has to love the girl, and both families have to love each other. Only then does the wedding happen.
Krish is a Punjabi boy from Delhi and Ananya is a Tamilian girl from Chennai. They meet at IIM Ahmedabad, fall deeply in love and decide to get married. Their parents, of course, have other ideas. Rather than run away, the couple sets out to win over both families, and discovers that it is easy to rebel but far harder to convince.
Warm, witty and packed with sharp observations about North–South stereotypes, inter-community marriage and middle-class Indian family life, this semi-autobiographical bestseller inspired the hit Bollywood film starring Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
Condition: pre-loved copy that has been well read, with visible creasing and frayed edges, priced accordingly. A great budget pick for Chetan Bhagat fans and first-time readers alike.
Available at Kitabi Chai Café & Book Store, Pune, and online with delivery across India.
