One Night @ the Call Center - Chetan Bhagat





The novel kicks off with the usual formula of motivational books - the author meets a stranger who obviously has a brand new bottled up story to uncork. And then the author befriends the stranger and re-produces the true story. Here , the author has allowed to the story to unravel through the eyes of one of the 6 friends who works at a call center. Cool. The story is written in a very simple language. Thank you. The filmi version - 'Hero' bombed the box office. Sorry about that.

Hey , this is what a call center is all about? Seems like a kooky place to work. Anyhow the unexpected phone call from God straightens the lives of the people concerned and the story ends with a happy knot. All is well. 

Why God? Did you watch the movie 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dubara' ? In that movie 'bull run' becomes the turning point in the lives of 3 friends. Bulls or Gods , the moral of the story is this :- Let the messiah mend your messed up life. Ok , point taken.
