Dedicated to non English types, as Chetan Bhagat wrote, the book divulges the sentiments and linguistic struggles of a backward rural Bhojpuri laced Hindi speaking boy from Bihar as he enrolls himself at the prestigious English medium St. Stephens College, New Delhi, and falls in love with a high class English speaking rich Delhi girl schooled at Modern School, New Delhi. The girl does not admit the relationship but agrees to be his half girlfriend. 8 Chetan Bhagat commented, Half Girlfriend, to me, is a unique Indian phenomenon, where boys and girls are not clear about their relationship status with each other. A boy may think he is more than friends with the girl, but the girl is still not his girlfriend. Hence, I thought we needed a term like Half girlfriend. Because, in India, that is what most men get. 8Plot summaryeditThe story begins with Madhav Jha, a rural boy from Dumraon, a village in Bhojpur, Bihar, as he comes to meet the author who is actually Chetan Bhagat and leaves behind a few journals from his half girlfriend who he believes has died.
