2 States: The Story of My Marriage is a 2009 novel written by Chetan Bhagat. It


is the story about a couple coming from two different states of India, who face
hardships in convincing their parents and persuading them to get married. The

Synopsis
The story is about Krish and Ananya who hail from two different states of India,
are deeply in love and want to get married against their parents' wishes.

The story begins in the IIM Ahmedabad mess, where Krish, a Punjabi boy
from rohini,Delhi sights Ananya, a Tamilian girl from Chennai, quarreling with the
mess staff about the food. They become friends in a few days and decide to study
together every night. In time, they become romantically involved. They both get
good jobs, and have serious plans for their wedding. The story is based on how
they struggle to convince their parents for the marriage, and eventually succeed in
doing so. It is narrated in a first person point of view in a humorous tone, often
taking digs at Tamilian and Punjabi culture. The plot is loosely based on the life
story of Chetan Bhagat and his wife Anusha, who are from Delhi and Tamil Nadu,
respectively.[2] This is the first Chetan Bhagat book based largely on his life. He
wrote this novel after quitting his job at an investment bank.
