One Indian Girl
by Chetan Bhagat
Description:
Hi, I’m Radhika Mehta and I’m getting married this week. I work at Goldman Sachs, an investment bank. Thank you for reading my story. However, let me warn you. You may not like me too much. One, I make a lot of money. Two, I have an opinion on everything. Three, I have had a boyfriend before. OK, maybe two. Now if all this was the case with a guy, one might be cool with it. But since I am a girl these three things I mentioned don’t really make me too likeable, do they?

Skryf Review
The novel begins with a wedding scene which suggests the general beginning of the 21st century masala movie where we usually distinguish the sudden opening without giving any sort of an aspect. The way Chetan Bhagat has launched and developed all the characters independently by giving them a nice attractive recitation, it shows the universal nature of Indian story-telling and customary sequence in which we surely understand the message of the novel.
The writer has used the conversational language according to the reader’s logical state of mind.
