295. The 3 mistakes of my life.

This is the first time I am reading Chetan Bhagat’s book.  This book was about a boy named Govind who made three major mistakes in his life and because of depression, ate so many sleeping pills and was admitted ia a hospital.  He e – mailed to Chetan Bhagat, who was in Singapore about this and he came in the next flight to India.  This book was a mixture of cricket, business, religion, and of course, friendship.  Govind, his friends Ishaan and Omi started a cricket shop.  Many children come and buy cricket bats and balls.  Then, while running the sports shop, Ishaan coaches the children cricket and Govind, who was a maths expert, taught maths to students.  After a few days, they come to know about Ali, a 12 – year – old boy who always hits sixes in cricket, but after a few balls, his head aches.  So, Ishaan teaches him cricket and makes him improve his stamina.  Then, an Australian named Fred calls them to Australia to give Ali special coaching for a week.  They go to Australia and Ali gets special coaching and all of them return to India.  After a few months, there was a war between the Hindu party and the Muslim party.  Omi’s uncle Bittoo, who was a devotee of Hindu Gods, killed Ali’s father and stepmother and searched for Ali.  Omi, knowing this, hid Ali in a secret room.  But, Bittoo finds him and tries to kill him with his trishul.  But, Omi dies when he tries to defend Ali as the trishul pierces through his body.  After that, Ishaan and Govind try and kill Bittoo and they bring peace between Hindus and Muslims.  This was a very nice book.
