well it was a nice and simple middle class story tand such scenes are easily available in indian middle class families were guys are specially required to prove themselves in front of their relatives . comparisions are made between the cousins and siblings. But it seemed the guy sam was quite satisfied with what he was doing and he knew that no one else were bothered to understand him but still quite sure that he was proud that he had a well paying job and he need not prove anything to anybody. he seemed a very carefree types.
hai sam , ur langauge is realistic, upon that the incident clearly pictures how today's world react to the call center agent........ the incident took me back 24months behind, when i use to work for a call center in chennai, almost a similar situation..... good! atleast u've stored all ur memories in writing....... hatts off to u!!!!!!
Ha ha this is good. The protagnist seems to be living it up at connexions. More power to chetan whatever former whatever studied at whatever spewing whatver on his apple macintosh.
True that most people scorn at call center people as though they are aliens. Simple funda, even the "big software guys" are BPO employees if u get into what outsourcing is all about. People need to wake upto reality. An eye opener to some "blind" people.
I have read Chetans both books, and though 'One Night' is impressive, I personally feel that 'Five Point Someone' was far better. But this is expected, since the college time is more eventful, besides the author had first hand experience of it.
I have a small suggestion....Chetan you can explore the life of an NDA cadet as a theme for your next novel?
chetan bhaghat's book is a grt one.. i cn identify myself with some of the characters in the book..the work culture is horrid but money is good..its all abt wht choice one makes i guess.. The book ws a grt reading

Well...story was good..so the presentation. I've read this book twice....felt a bit uneasy about the guys go out in Qualis..I don't think that is possible in any call center...the climax also ended in a filmi way....
