one night @ the call center By Chetan Bhagat
May 25, 2008
After reading five point someone, I was actually looking forward to read this another bestseller by the same author & to be honest this piece is as good as its forerunner.
The story is about 6 people,3 guys & 3 girls,each facing a different problem.One night they receive a call from God & their life changes. What are their problems & how did the call from the God solved them is all clearly & beautifully narrated by the author from the point of view of Shyam.
Six people are –
- Vroom, troubled by his parents divorce & unsatisfied by his job.
- Shyam ,facing a break up & craving for promotion
- Esha ,Modelling aspirant,facing a guilt of sleeping with a man for the sake of a modeling aspirant
- Priyanka ,Shyam’s Girlfriend, Distraughted by always pulling mom,confused about her marriage
- Military Uncle ,Abandoned By his only son & daughter-in-law, wants to go back to them
- Radhika ,cheated by her husband & forced to cope up with tantrum throwing in-laws
- Shefali ,though not mentioned as a key character is shyam’s present not-so-serious girlfriend
The story is about their struggle with their lives.How they cope up with their daily routine problems & come to work at a call center, Connexions in Gurgaon.How God helps them out & how they implement his suggestions are a delight to read.
After reading this book,I can only say – Chetan’s Third Book Awaited.
