The above is the title of Chetan Bhagat's new book.He is the guy who wrote '5 point someone'.I and all of my friends loved that book. I guess every engineering student can empathize with the story and it's characters. If u go to his website chetanbhagat.com then u will see that he cites 5 books that inspired him to write 5 point someone. The list is Catcher in the rye,english august,catch 22, moth smoke and the god of small things. I have read the first 3 and all of them are excellent.
Now coming to his new novel. I finished it today. The first half is bit slow but the ending was mindblowing. I really loved it. I am just stating my personal opinion so dont blame me if u read it and dont like it. It is about 6 call center employees and one night that changes thier lives,because they get a phone call from god.
The characters are
1. Shyam - a guy who has lost his self confidence because of a bad boss.He also lost his girlfriend,Priyanka who is his colleague.
2.Vroom(Varun) - the youngest of them all. used to be a journalist but then joined the call center for money.
3.Priyanka- lives with a dominating mother,who she also loves dearly. she had to end her relationship with Shyam as her mother disapproaved of him.
4.Esha-an aspiring model who ran away from her parents house in chandigarh and came to delhi.has to work in call center to make ends meet.
5.Radhika- married for love.but now has problems with mother in law.
6.Military Uncle- A retired army officer who lives alone now because of his differences with his son and daughter in law.
7.Bakshi- the boss of the above people.an evil and stupid guy.loves using management jargon.
This novel has a very good message at the end too. I dont want to reveal too much so thats it for now.
