2 States: The Story of My Marriage by Chetan Bhagat

At IIM Ahmedabad, amidst the intensity of lectures and late-night study sessions, Krish, a lively Punjabi boy from Delhi, found his world turned upside down by Ananya, a brilliant Tamilian girl from Chennai. Falling in love felt inevitable, almost easy. But getting married? That required navigating a battlefield of cultural differences, deep-seated prejudices, and two families who believed North and South should never mix. So begins the hilarious, often chaotic, and deeply heartwarming mission chronicled in Chetan Bhagat's beloved bestseller, 2 States. Step into Krish and Ananya's shoes as they embark on a cross-country quest—not just for blessings, but for understanding—trading Delhi's comforts for Chennai's traditions, charming bewildered relatives, and hilariously attempting to engineer harmony between their worlds. Inspired by the author's own life, this story is more than a funny book about Indian marriage customs; it’s an invitation to witness a spirited North South Indian relationship challenging expectations, a testament to a love story overcoming family objections, one awkward, hopeful encounter at a time.
