Why do I hate Chetan Baghat books?

I like his narration. Its never boring. I can easily read through it. He avoids all complex usages and keep it simple and pleasant. And I do like how he creates certain scenes. I feel almost touched. But then when I finish the book and get up, I always have this feeling "Oh... This is trash"... Except may be for Five Point Someone, I have felt the same for all the rest. The call centre one, Three mistakes, two states, and now to add to the list is Revolution 2020. Just now finished the book. And started wondering why do I feel the book is below average? It never bored me, and I was hooked to the plot and there was this gallantry ending. So I should be able to at least put it in average list. Some how I don't, and here I am perplexed as to why I don't :)
One explanation could be that its a person's sensitivity. Like how a sensitive cook can identify saccharine from sugar, I have a sensitivity to identify the difference between books, even though both tastes sweet. Wow that's an explanation I would love to adhere to ;)
Or there is a not so great explanation - That I am hooked to certain kind of books. The kind of books that I read in my teens. The beautiful classics, which inspired me and instilled in me the firm belief in good. Books like Mother (Gorky), Citadel (A J Cronin), Good Earth (Pearl S Buck), Crime and Punishment (Dostoevsky), The old man and the sea (Earnest Hemmingway), those fabulous Russian short stories and the list goes on. When you put down these books after completing them, you feel humble. Or I felt humble. And the narrations and plots were so natural that in the end you will not feel like "Oh, yet another story with a bold "Moral of the story is...blah blah blah" sort of narration". Yes that's it. CBs stories comes with heavy morals, and forced scenes to assert the morals. Subtlety is missing. Or to an old classic fan like me, it is missing :)
The worst possible explanation is I have simply grown old and has got the "Old Syndrome" which glorifies things of past and looks gloomily at the present. But I REFUSE to accept that ;) As proof for rejecting this last and worst possible explanation, I will add a book that I enjoyed immensely and which belongs to the present... "The Hunger Games"... It came as a gift and I simply loved it. Thanks dear Kathu, you gave me a good read and helped me prove I am still young ;)

Mother (Gorky)- My Bible

Each time I read this book a purification happens with in me. Something gets refined. I am not attempting to do a review of this excellent novel. Its beyond my capacity to understand the depth of the revolutionary thoughts and ideas shared in the book. But on each read I enjoy the love that radiates from this book. To me its purely a book on love. I cherish all the relations as my own. The way mother loves everyone and everything. The way she cherish every single appreciation from Pavel her son, the way she loves Andrey, the way she cares for Natasha, Sasha , Sophia and others, the friendship between Pavel and Andrey, the reformation of Viskovishkov, every relation is so beautifully sketched that the characters just refuse to leave you even after keeping the book down.

One of my favorite conversation between Andrey(Little Russian), Pavel and Viskovishkov(Nikolay )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, I'm not fit for anything but jobs like that!" said Nikolay dully, shrugging his shoulders. "I keep thinking, and thinking where my place in the world is. There is no place for me! The people require to be spoken to, and I cannot. I see everything; I feel all the people's wrongs; but I cannot express myself: I have a dumb soul." He went over to Pavel with drooping head; and scraping his fingers on the table, he said plaintively, and so unlike himself, childishly, sadly: "Give me some hard work to do, comrade. I can't live this life any longer. It's so senseless, so useless. You are all working in the movement, and I see that it is growing, and I'm outside of it all. I haul boards and beams. Is it possible to live for the sake of hauling timber? Give me some hard work."

Pavel clasped his hand, pulling him toward himself.
"We will!"
From behind the curtains resounded the Little Russian's voice:
"Nikolay, I'll teach you typesetting, and you'll work as a compositor for us. Yes?"
Nikolay went over to him and said:
"If you'll teach me that, I'll give you my knife."

"To the devil with your knife!" exclaimed the Little Russian and burst out laughing.

"It's a good knife," Nikolay insisted. Pavel laughed, too.
Vyesovshchikov stopped in the middle of the room and asked:
"Are you laughing at me?"
"Of course," replied the Little Russian, jumping out of bed. "I'll tell you what! Let's take a walk in the fields! The night is fine; there's bright moonshine. Let's go!"
"All right," said Pavel.
"And I'll go with you, too!" declared Nikolay. "I like to hear you laugh, Little Russian."
"And I like to hear you promise presents," answered the Little Russian, smiling.
While Andrey was dressing in the kitchen, the mother scolded him:
"Dress warmer! You'll get sick." And when they all had left, she watched them through the window; then looked at the ikon, and said softly: "God help them!"

She turned off the lamp and began to pray alone in the moonlit room.

Code Name God

If you are a scientist, you will enjoy this book. If you are a philosopher, you will enjoy this book. If you are seeking inspiration for success, this is a must read. And finally if you are just a simple reader like me, take it from me its an excellent journey.
Its Mani Bhaumik's experiments with truth. Rikhia, who gave me this book, was really inspired by his journey from a mud floor hut in Bengal to several marble mansions in US. Even though thats a fascinating journey, that didn't inspire me much. But what really glued me to the book were his scientific explanation of spirituality. Growing with a brother who loves to read (and talk elaboratly) about Osho and Ekhart Tolle, I have a soft corner to the subject :) I cannot boast that I understood each and every paragraph, bcoz there was a lot of physics involved which went right above my head. He explained everything in terms of Quantum theory which is a little too much for me. But the essence of the whole book turns around a single point. Everything is earth is well balanced. Each living or non living being contribute to this balance in a peculiar manner. And that balance is never broken. Maybe we will perish, the whole world or the whole of our galaxy may perish at some time. But still that balance is maintained somewhere, somehow.
Read it and you will come to know what i mean :-)
