Hello(your movie name is’nt it) Chetan,
I am big fan of your work ,am eagerly waiting for your third release,
i hope this book is also a light hearted one …. hope it’ll be great fun reading it …. by the way the cover rocks big time … only one question, is it anyway related to cricket??
hai ,
chetan just now i have gone through your interview in hindu. i heard of you and your book earlier just to know something about it i have checked your site and truly after going through your excerpts of books i fall wondering where i could get them just now immediatly to read ahead, you truly rocked yeah of course i am also a passionate story teller like you.Inspire young brains through your works which wil make you eternal on indian story telling in the times ahead….
hey chetan, i ve read your fps that was a fabulous book well the best book abt college days n the story is so interesting n chair cathching that i had to read it in 1 strech.good luck for your upcoming novel
best wishes
Needless to say I’ve read FPS & ON@TCC. I was also present at Crossword when you’d launched One Night. I’ve my copies signed by you and they’re my prized possession. I read your interview in Brunch today and that’s how I got to know about your third book.
I’ve read the excerpt of The 3 Mistakes of My Life. I can’t tell you how much am I waiting to lay my hands on the third book. Although I fear your fans don’t start sending out suicide emails hoping you’d visit them as well. The cover looks marvelous. Will have to wait a little more to know all about Govind, his friends, cricket, business, religion and everything else you’ve to write about them all.
In any case, wish you all the luck and success for your upcoming book and all future endeavors in life. Will see you at Phoenix Mills on Thu, May 8th 7pm.

Hi Chetan,
I am a die hard fan of the way you write.
I’ve read both Five Point Someone and One Night……..and now badly waiting for the third one.
Wish you all the best!!!!!!!!!!
Liked the cover very much. IPL is current season.
So anything “Cricket” will sell out. And if Chetan Bhagat is
selling it, I will die to buy it Nice catchy cover Chetan!!
All the best with this one. I am sure this book too, will be
a huge success.

Hi Chetan, I’m a big fan of urs and both ur earlier books were mind blowing. I’m from Mumbai and wanna be there at the launch of ur book. Is the entry there at Phoenix Mill by Invitation only or for all. From the looks on cover it seems that is based on Cricket, is it true. Please also tell wats the price of the new book in ur next blog. Awaiting your mail in this regard. Bye and BEst of Luck for or New Book.
Hi chetan i have rread ur booksfps and night at cc and i reallly loved both of themi think u r a great writer in india ever. Eagerly waiting for ur third book.well happy belated birthday and all the bestest foR ur third book.by the way the cover is cool.good luck.
I am just over with my 10th board exams and have just finished reading five point someone.Its simply great today i will start reading one night at the call center.Sir you are a great writer and i loved five point some one.
Hi Chetan, this is Tommy from Kolkata…looking forward to your book launch on 11th. May…will be there at Hiland Park…btw Chetan…how well you understand (or don’t understand) girls!!!…
hi chetan sir….
its really good to know about ur third book..i really appreciate the way u narrate the story…
i m a big fan of urs…hope to look forward to read more written by you.
hi in the book fps you never reviled that do you ya don’t you get married to neha . or do u atlest meet her in the marriage … and in the book on@cc you again never said ya reviled who that girl was whom you met in the train … you literally left me counting stars man
Hi Chetan,
I understand ur so busy with the launch of new book that its nearly impossible to answer each and everyone’s query and blogs but thanks for answering my earlier queries and its so nice of u that u had kept the price so low that every one can afford to buy that book bcoz book piracy is such a big problem in India and particularly in Bombay.
Thanks once again and best wishes for “The 3 Mistakes of my life”
Hi Chetan,
I was in one of the IITs (not as a student) for sometime. Your first book FPS was out that time, but then I didn’t get a chance to read that. Sometime back, I got that as a gift and after reading that, lots of mysteries I had surrounding the IIT Btech guys got solved ;). It is a wonderful piece of writing, which is really fresh in style. Two days back, I started with your ON@TCC and that’s also really gripping. And checking your site today, I saw your ‘3′ is releasing on May 8th. I am going to get it at the earliest and am pretty sure, it’s going to make a good read.All the best for ‘3′.
i read ur both the books. FPS was simply fantastic but i never expected One night @ call center to do exceedingly as well..but it turned out to be …while reading immediate connection is established …and we realise we face similar situations more often in our lives but u brought out the humour & learning out of it, which we so easily ignore….
Hi Chetan…It’s a pleasure for me to post a comment for your books…I am an avid reader of your books and its amazing to know that u r coming wid d book soon…I want 2 b a part of the release but i cannot as it is in Lower Parel, Mumbai…….I mean far way for me at least……
I still read your last 2 books…whenever i can..I have read them many times, but whenever i raed i find something new about it….And i wish u all d best for all your future endeavours….Tc and all the best…I will keep posting my comments
HI Chetan
I dont know from where but I have just read a small excerpt from ‘3 mistakes’. It sounds really interseting and I am sure you will be successfull with this one also but I am having a doubt in my mind. I wanted to know from you that how much for these narrations are really your life experience and how much is the imagination.
Salman Khan will play author Chetan Bhagat in a film version of ‘One Night @ the Call Centre’ and will paint him a cover for ‘The Three Mistakes of My Life,’ of which one surely is casting Salman Khan.
i just finish reading first chapter of the new book here on this website.. and much eager to know what nxt….
i am really much eagerly waiting for the book..
\it came to know that it is launching today.. i will be waiting in front of a book stall to grab tyhe first copy of it…
Hi Ketan,
I have read both of your books and can say that you know how to catch nerve of today’s youth. Never before i found reading such a incredible experience. M so eager to c u and read your third piece of work today i.e 8th May. All d best!!!!

I have read both of your books and can say that you know how to catch nerve of today’s youth. Never before i found reading such a incredible experience. M so eager to c u and read your third piece of work today i.e 8th May. All d best!!!!
hi CB
just read the excerpt…..liked it…but 1 prob…when i clicked the link u provided on ur mail 2 me after i signed for more excerpts 4m ur TM2L(short 4 The Three Mistakes of My Life),it asks me again 2 give e-mail ids of my frnds……..moreover after AGAIN providing ids……it didn’t give me the excerpt……that’s not good…..
…..as ur TM2L seems 2 be VERY interesting…..i’m desperate 2 finsih reading it ASAP.
ur FPS was JHAKKAS….it simply hooked me
but that was not with ONC2….truly speaking….i was bored……i was wondering how can an author of that calibre(i find it after reading FPS) could produce a book like ONC2…
by the way…..i hope 2 lay my hands on TM2L book by 2morrow evening…….as this time there is none of my IIT frnds who can lend me his book…as was the case with the earlier 2….
and yes thanks 4 giving us a moment 2 enjoy thru ur books.
keep writing…..
Comment by shailesh kumar sundram — May 10, 2008 @ 4:27 am
brother i read your book, 5point someone & I must tell you it was a great experience really ,, it was close to heart , it imaginable , no time it looked like a fiction .
But i was kinda diappointed with your second book , it looked fabricated unlike your first book .
I hope the third book is even better then the first one . And I am eagerly waiting for the ‘IDIOT’.
it was a mere chance dat i got a catch of FPS at some railway station & read it completely in my journey. it ws an awesome work wid which all cud relate in their lives.
as a credit to ur FPS i read ONCC but it ws not dat gud as FPS.
expecting dat u recreate ur magic by 3Mistakes.
i saw ur interview on some news channel today & was a pleasure to know u so closely thru it.
It was one of my close pals who gifted me Five point someone..This was probably the only book I finished reading continuosly at a stretch..
Coming to your second book, one night at a call center, it was kind of good and also lil bit boring as well..
And I have been eagerly waiting to read your New book ‘The 3 Mistakes of my life’..
I live in US and I am eager to know if the book has released worldwide, or is it just released in India…Coz, I tried to look up for the book online in some bookstores and not able to find it..Even in the ebay, I am not able get the book…Would be very greatful if you could let me know where can I purchase your book…
This is Chirag Patel from Ahmedabad. An Engg. grad. working with an
MNC at Delhi.
This is my first ever mail to any author as such in my life span of
25 yrs. Today I just started your latest book ” The 3 mistakes of my
life “. As usual, like with ur previous books also, I simply sticked to
book once started.
Just during first chapter itself, I found at many places the ”
Amdavad ” word has been misspelled by ” Ambavad “. I am sure you must be
knowing this fact and this would have been only printing mistake.
But frankly speaking, it was my wish to mail you is more than that
the word correction. I simply love the way you write and style of
changing the whole emotions at many places during story by putting some funny
and humour lines. Simply delightful.
Ok. I just wish you will correct the word ( Amdavad ) in your next
printing lot of book.
I, on behalf of all your readers, wish you ALL THE BEST for your
future and we are sure you will never disappoint us.
hello sir….hats off..3 mistakes was very very good…and while reading the the love story was some wat same as 5 point some one….watever i loved it and relished the whole package…and one more thing sir please tell me is it the real story of someone or just a thought put forward by u..so i bow down to u and i wish that god give u all the remaining successs left for u and we gat many more books like the other 3…thank u sir u made ma weekend and wish u good luck….thanx…dinesh

I’ve become an afficionado of yours. I’m planning to buy all the books that you produced and will produce. Movies are also being made on your stories but I don’t know whether they wll do justice to the spirit of your books.

hii chetan,,rather i shud say chetan sir,,as i owe u a lot in my life,,ur work is simply fabulous,,i must have read 5 point sum1 abt atleast 5 times,,but everytym i read the buk it simply attracts me for a next tym too,,hoping a lot from ur new book,,u simply rock chetan,,plz continue with good work ahead too???
i am not sure how should i address you, but i think bhaiya could do fine,since uncle doesn’t go with your image.
bhaiya,
i have read FPS 14 times ,i like this book very much. being a student and preparing for engg entrances made me connect with it instantly.
But this new book of yours is surely a mile ahead. This was better than your previous books..
a more captivating plot , great emotional depth and insight into character’s lives made it strike a chord immediately.
the story showed me what i as a young child could not see.
It made me laugh and cry,
it was so captivating that i finished it in 4 hours flat.
thank you for adding another beautiful book of yours into my library.
U write awesome. I started reading after reading ur books. They are no doubt fantabulous and am eagerly waiting for ur 3rd book, which I heard is released.
Best luck for that and also for the movie thats coming up.
U really make the characters perform infront of my eyes when I was reading. A great job indeed.
Comment by Sudeep Jambekar — May 14, 2008 @ 7:55 pm
Hi Chetan,
Sorry |Even i know that your book will launch in Pune on 25th of may, I already arranged your third book.
|I spent two days to find it, and just 6 hours to read it.
|See i am not a good reader. I not often read books but whatever i do i do with full of heart and mind.
First i want to tell some good about the book.
1. The Story
2. The various word which you used in books to explain the situations, like meal |For Omi is not profitable.
3.Your Consistency in writing your style . for Eg Use the word “love”.
4.The great start of your book which attracts attention.
5.The great way of writing that proves that you know about something. Like Probability example for your knowledge of maths.Like word Orkut, Like word Benefit of Doubt that shows that you know something about LAW. Aust. players name about your cricket knowledge. The speech of that Gujarati person to tell about your knowledge of Hinduism. etc etc.
6.The way of linking the various major and shocking events like WTC attack, Godhra Kand,Gujrat violence, Cricket victory, Earthquake.amazing work.
7.Your style of writing the story in other persons language.
8. The main thing is your view about india and your heart which is connected with India. This book may opposed by some group of peoples but it will be fine soon as we all are with you.
Now lets talk about little Criticism:
1.I read one another book of Paulo Chelo. The opening line was Once upon a time there was a …..
I hope you read that book. The first para in that book is not forgettable by any one who read that book. Am i right? If yes i just expect similar kind of phrases from you which we cant forget.Of course his style of writing is different than you, but accepting a better things is never a wong idea.Ya one more good thing about you that we cant forget the characters of your books. |Keep it up
So i expect some more improvement in you in your next book.
Till than Best of luck 4 your wonderful work which not even make us happy but also give some way of thinking.
Take care. Bye. And Ya have a nice evening. And due to this mail,this time your coffee will not prohibited you to drink it.
hello sir!!!!!!

hi,
i finished reading three mistakes of my life a couple of days back…
its a nice novel, a mixture of all..sentiment, romance, fun, responsibilities….
i read both the previous novels.
i rate 5.someone on top. 2nd would be 3 mistakes of my life and then the on@cc.
good luck for ur future novels..
The book is wonderful. I actually found it to be better than d previous two.
I loved the very intricate descriptions and also the fact that the story revolves around three characters or “ideas”,to be precise.The book had me laughing my guts out and also wiping off my tears(at times).I think its a beautiful book also because it deals with the riots and earthquake and how people’s lives are affected by them.
Thank you for writing “the 3 mistakes of my life”. It has been a pleasure reading it.
But I have a question -Why does someone have to die in your stories?
hi sir
i just comleted ur third masterpiece.(2 mins ago)
it is strange that i m from ahmdedabad too. (???!!!!!)have three friends..
i luv this city as much as ur characters do.. i brought up here. naver missed any rain so far..
i have read all of them now and i m the first one in ahmedabad to purchse ur book(atleast i think that)…
my elder bro.think that on@cc is the best..i think five point someone is..
the dinosourse line is still my favourite… felt same way many times….
nirav(most comman name for gujarati boy)
Awesome book sir:) I just couldn’t stop myself from finishing it in one go. A treat to read. You have delivered a master piece. As you told you will always be one of the most loved authors!
Congratulations for your latest release. I came on to this site to tell everyone that you really make me read. I never read books/novels till i put my eyes on 5 point someone. I really enjoyed the book, the style of writing. I could actually imagine stuff and apply it to my life. I read the second one “One night at the call centre”.
I was so happy to see “3 Mistakes of my life” as soon as I saw By Chetan Bhagat, the book was in my shopping cart.
Started reading it at night and could not stop till mid-night. I was laughing all alone. Some situations were so funny, my stomach started paining with laughter.
Thanks a lot Chetan for writing such a wonderfull book.
Comment by Chinmay Herwadkar — May 19, 2008 @ 2:44 pm
hi chetan i have read the twobooks u have written they were ausm i was waiting for ur next book for a long time as soon as i know about ur new book it was on my list congrats thnk u for writing such k ind of novel that r easier for youth to understand bye take care
Hi,
I finished reading 3 mistakes this morning only
and hope to read it again!!!! This one really rockks!!
As the story progressed, it only got interesting though
I was stumped out in climax(I really feel, it could have been different)!!!
The problems discussed in book are also relavent (& thought provoking).
Overall, it’s just another feather in cap of Mr.Bhagat!!!
Thanks for beautiful novel!
Chetan, I’ve written you in a personal mail but you didn’t reply as you’ve mentioned, you’re dead busy with ceremony of the 3. I belong to Ahmedabad n so kindly I would like to draw attention of all readers about a few mistakes which you’ve commited in your book!
1. it’s “Amdavad” in Gujarati, not “Ambavad”
2. Name of the area is “Behrampura”, not “Behlampur”. It seems you didn’t go for enough survey about city name itself n areas. “nana park” is also not the correct one!
3. Earthquack was on 26th jan 2001. Your book starts in march 2000 and after saving money for 2 yeas, Gopal booked that shop which was crashed in earthquack!!! I wonder how could you do such a mistake?
Anyway, I’ve finished the book by 10th may itself, just like 1night@call center. I would like to say, 3 was more of a typical masala kind of book like a bolywood movie. It was humourous for sure but how could you write for money, yaar. I mean, when i read 5.some1, I was floored on you. I was eagerly waiting n hoping for your next book which was cool too. nothing matches 5.some1 for sure. sorry for being so curt but just can’t help it as I thought you’re a different person who doesn’t work for money but writes passionately.
Nevermind, I would still write your 4th book if you write in future as I still believe you n your worth.
Hi Chetan….
I am really a very big fan of yours. I never used to read novels. The very first novel I read was yours “5 point someone” and really loved the book.
This made me read you other novel “One night @ the call centre”
I hope if I was a good write like you.
Good luck for ur future novels.
I wish you reply to my mail.
Bbye Sabita

Dear Chetan,
Have read The Three Mistakes of Life and cannot able to stop inbetween. Really a nice & simply mindblowing. As a Management guy, I can see myself in the characters.And till today I have completed two times.
Just completed 3 mistakes exactly 15 min back. This is another masterpiece, Hats off to you man.
Its amazing, the way you articulate people and situation.
Now whats next ? Do we have to wait dfor long is something in pipeline.
hi! Chetan
Read all the three books. i love the way u write and the english u use….ur books so gud that i don’t share it with anyone and can’t part with it…. Your books r mind blowing….HAT’S OFF TO YOU
All three books are amazing,mind boggling, fantastic.
I am just out of words.
i like the way you write, everytime it seems that this is what is going to happen next but then it is completely different.
Comment by Nompika Kidiyoor — May 24, 2008 @ 3:04 am
Hi Chetan,
I just finished reading “The 3 Mistakes of my life” its again a fantastic creation of yours however i found the charm missing as compared to the 2 books earlier the topics you picked were good1 Riotsand Earthquake esp were untouched in contrast with the youth. But what i felt while reading it was i lost intrest at some places which was continously there in your earlier creations.
I aspire to be a writer and have written 8 short stories and have always dreamt of seeing my name in authors like you, vikram seth, shashi tharur, anita desai etc.
I will be mailing you a couple of my stories shortly.
Please evaluate and if possible do give me a feedback.
I just finished reading 3 mistakes ..yesterday!!
Good stuff but definitely cannot be compared to ‘Five point someone’..
I was expecting something new this time but it turned out to be the same
friends-caught-up-in-big-problems kind of story.
Expecting something different from you next time.[:)]
Well i agree with Divya somewhere but i guess i had the same problem when i read continiously your previous books.
A)Five point some one was the Legend.
B)One night@Call center again was good but it didn’t get grip for few days because it felt same way as before, so i picked one jefery Archer book just for a different taste and then i went back to One Night… it agin became another legend.
C)The 3 mistakes of my Life– is another wonderful book, which finished yesterday, and still in a hangover.I wish you would have kept complete Happy ending..without ending my fav. character.
You have that magic of Story writing..it gives an experience of watching movie.
I love to read people minds, you write a complete story on them..i guess we have more or less 500 million people in this world and half of them share same nature. You can write about atleast 50(negotiable) books in a year. I like your work so do my all friends.
i feel lucky that i got to read all three books of yours, and still waiting for new arrivals.
All the Best and Congratulations.
P.S: Heard thet, Five point someone soon will be a movie…please try this almost impossible thing, try casting Sharukh Khan, Salman khan, Amir khan.
I think its too big conversation with u and it require lots of time to read and think but I request u “chetan” please read this one because it helps me lot to extract my bloody thoughts. Because I think “GDHARA” please readout yaar “khuda ke liye”
With this “OUR” book One thing I would like to point out on page no. 11 regarding the conversations associated with respect to TV with G.Patel and his mom (I think the first conversation with his mom; and latter in book where after earthquake G.Patel switch on the TV to see exactly what happen on TV.?????????? Again I m not interested to find mistake in “MASTERPIECE”(I think this is master stroke from all of above your novel not your but of all novel available in library in all languages (I read only two languages Gujarati and English)
Actually my work and my superior taught me to always find mistake in masterpiece however that’s part of life.
Honestly I m saying I m more eager to highlighted my depthless and attachment with character of this book while I reading this novel (I read this novel by bunking my factory work hours(in fact two days) ; I m working in company (not a college student)) and read same on railway platform
I think on spending two days on reading and thinking on the content of this book; I associated all people on station in these two days with character of this book I find each of character on station whether; G.Patel;Omi;Omi’s mama OR ALI OR his papa;Vidya etc……all are available on station.
Why I write all these “CHETAN” because chetan this is not a book; this is a mirror image of India and I think “MOB” is more suitable word in spite of India. I m 100 percent sure that u r also not comfortable as well as not proud (I also not felling to be proud while reading as Indian or (part of mob)) while writing the issue associated before and after “GODHARA” incidence in this book
“And after all u dedicated this book to our country.”
I m sure that no one like to read again of the last page of book related to how to save Ali’s Life? This is really image of India (or mob or our country) clearly seen in it and no one of us really be proud for that? Because we all are part of that bloody mob. we all are happy while irfan took wickets or while shahrukh dances with pretty girls; when we all are alone
But when we together in “MOB” we did every thing what u described in your book; because I heard not heard but memorized all comments associated with Godhara and post Godhara riots in FEB 2001 and even latter sensitive issue regarding “STRING OPERATION” on godhara issue on ajjtak just before the Gujarat election and again I heard same “NON SENSE” comment from all educated MOB and u also known who won the election………. this is not full stop but big “QUESTIONMARK” on our country feature with this bloody mob. Because we never like to analyze the situation independently we always like to speak other Bloody people word blindly and million others too. I think from Feb 2001 NOT FROM FEB 2001 but from where I understand the word what is Hindu and Muslim.
where all these stop; where all these end where we live together?????????????????
And after all chetan I m keenly interested that “PLEASE MAKE MOVIE ON THIS FILM BECAUSE WE NEED MOVIE ON THIS TOPIC NOT WE REQUIRED MOVIE LIKE HELLO OR THREE IDIOTS”
U are well associated with film industry and making film on this subject will really a big slap on this mob because we only have one medium that is film that each one had understood because I think each has its own brain either they all r part of mob and from if any thing like “Godhara incidence” happen in future they see ali or dhirag in that mob. and from amongst all of us one OMI or ISH or GOVIND PATEL will have been stood up to save Ali.
And one thing people learnt faster from surrounding ;( Best example is first conversation of OMI with Ali’s father on secularism; fortunately Omi understood all in latter in this book but unfortunately this is book while u arrange all according to your thoughts and in life every thing end with same opinion just like what bitto mama have)
Frankly I also know that making film on this sensitive issue is not easy as to arrange training for ali in Australia but “CHETAN” u will have to have do it man;because we have to create ali and of course OMI;ISH and Govind and spread thoughts of ali’s father in all this mob so after sometime some one converted this MOB or us in to an Indians
And last but not least the reason why u has to make this film on this subject because…………………………………..
“U dedicated this book to our country which called you back”
Waiting for intense action of your and BEST OF LUCK
Regards

Hi Chetan,
I read both books of yours a while ago, I liked both of them and could relate myself with the second one, I can put myself in the character of protagonist,be it his professional life of romantic,I found both books fantastic but I have some complaints which I think are there because people me have started counting on you. Ya my complaints:
1.You do touch some very sensitive issue but
>you just don’t go well into depth, probably behind the scene you go or may be just to make your novel to be read in light mood you don’t address the reality much.
>I know you are not a reformer but you must look to find a transcendental purpose in your writing
>Your answers to the question that you yourself raise are very animated, rather I would say your question raise a sense of hope in otherwise disappointed people but your answers kill that hope.
I am not writer but I do write for myself,I can see your writing and trust me a lot others like me have myriad hopes from you.
I gotta go but shall keep you posted
hii chetan…

I have just single word to say “Fabulous” …. and story telling skills are “Amazing”
Hii sir,
well i m a huge of urs…i love d way u write ur books ..
generally i don’t read novels. Till now i have read only 3 novels in my life and all 3 belongs to you .. 1 day a frnd of mine sugested me to read fps saying its awesome
n i will feel gud after reading it . So i bought 1 copy nxt day n seriously i loved it..
I still remember i was not doing anything else while i was reading my first novel(fps)…
I also like 1 nit@ call center but fps is surely d best..3 mistakes of my life is also good but
not as good as fps(please dnt mind ha please)..

Hi Chetan. I am a software engineer from Pune. I have just finished reading ‘3 Mistakes of my life’. Though it sounds as filmy as One Night@Call Center, I have absolutely no issues/complains regarding the book. I enjoyed it till the last word. Sometimes, it so happens that you like the characters in the book so much that after finishing the book an emptiness appears in your life for some days. I am still wondering or rather worrying about Ali’s future in Indian Cricket Team, Vidya’s following life with Govind, Govind’s friendship with Ish, Omi’s unlikely death and the stupid religious fanatism which will never stop intimidating our lives in the time to come. I started writing this comment to ask you whether this story “really” existed or not. But as I progressed and started analysing the whole plot, it no more concerns me now. The characters are alive and kicking in my mind and story’s falsity won’t prompt them to be spurious. To be frank, I did not like your second book and ‘Five Point Someone’ still enjoys the higher status than the third book. But I must tell you that your writing has some mystical thing which incited a James Joyce-fan like me to quickly purchase ‘3 Mistakes…’ at overcrowded Chandigarh Bus Stand at 12 O’clock in the mid-night a week ago as soon as I read your name underneath the title…
hi chetan
i hav read ur first 2 editions in us 2 dayz n was amazed wid da wondrrful nnn ful of excitment…threatnin…book u hav written…i luved them
nnn i hav jus bought da 3rd edition n read da first page tht filled me wid excitment tht wht is goin to happen …….m gettin very curious

Hi Chetan…..

Hey Chethan. Great Work!!! Just finished reading your third book. You indeed are a Magician when it comes to getting your views across to large masses, concealed in tiny packets of cricket, unconditional friendship, sweet teenage romance, the dirty politics and the senseless religion-ism! As a Neurosurgeon found the Hyper reflex condition secondary to some wrong wiring in the brain a little too much to bite, but the rest of the entire book was simply fabulous!!! Definitely another blockbuster movie! Only hitch being protests from some senseless, empty headed religious politicians!
Keep the good work going ! I have become your fan after this one. All the best!
Dr.Vineesh
hi…i was’nt actually a fan f urs after d first 2 books bt d third 1 just floored me.a few reasons why i lyked it
*its a 21st generation book referring 2 d masses f our country.(d 21st gen rural people)
*its an entertainer,with burden f a heavy topic-religion on it..we all knw about religious politics nd stuff but ur buk actually showed d exact picture f how 2day people hav 2 face it.
* d earthquake actually ws a disastr(in d real; world),though by readin ur book, i cud actually feel d sufferings f d people.
*i luvd d trio.dats d way peopl r..now-a-days
*and d girl(a village girl), just 18…knows stuff..tws gr8
*wat made u chose her b’day date..actually my b’day is also on d same day..lol
*just 1 complaint. pls dont call maths h stupid..u must hav guessd it why…
hi chetan i really like ur all the 3 books.they were fantastic.ur writing style is superb .the recently published 3 mistskes of my life is the best among all the 3.plzzz take out a new exciting novel as soon as possible.i am eagerly waiting 4 it
hi dear chatan,
i just read lut ur ” the 3 mistake of my life” in a only 24 hours.
i was in way from dadar to akola,i was returning from my hospital after 5 month and i found ur book on dadar rlway station and read down.
realy that is great jobs u have done,u teach us a lesson 4 patriotism,religion and freindship; how to deal with them.amd how to keep away from badly politics.
u brings the verry good and ecofriendly combination of religion and patriotism which necesarry to unique india.
I’ve never enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed FPS. It was hillarious, is an understatement. I’d laugh thinking about some scenes even today. I’m was on post partum recovery when I read the book a few months ago(I’ve had this book on my shelf for over 3 years, just din’t get around reading it earlier!). The book gave a good filip to my mood then and I just can’t believe the number of books I’ve read since , it set the pace for good reading.I also think you’ve set the trend for people to sit up and take notice of Indian Writing. The number of books that get released in the Indian Writing Category makes you wonder if it will some day equal the number of IIM passouts! I’d read ON@CC earlier and that was a good book too. Book 3 is a disappointment of sorts. I also like the way you’ve presented your blog! Keep entertaining!!!!!!
bye…..
hey chetan,i read all three books of yours.then start with the first one.FPS was very nice,simplly a fun book.but i did’t like one night @ the callcentre that much though.but then congrats again u r back with a bang.3 mistakes has everything in it from politics to religious dicotomy,communal riots to dreams and from love to sex.ha ha ,in all ,READING THE THREE MISTAKES OF MY LIFE,WAS NOT A MISTAKE AT ALL……
hey chetan,
jst read ur book 1 night @ call center…muat say 1 thing, ur genius…u dont knoe wot ur doin..itz a awesome book..I’M IN LOVE WID UR THOUGHTS…hats off 2 u dear…u expressed everything thru dis..love,passion,power,goal,romance,etc…in all..the word is “FUN”..damn it..ur such a good human being…n u knoe 1 thing– I jst hate readin books..but ur BOOK…OH MAH GOD..I CAN NOT XPRESS MAH FEELINGS NEMORE..
Hi chetan…
I am a third year enginnering student under the SCRA scheme..
Just finished reading your book..3 mistakes… simply superb..
I have not known any other author to deal with the issue of religion and the dirty state of politics with such ease and impact.. I m totally moved…
Looking forward to your nxt book…
Love
Ujjwal
Hello Mr. Chethan,
I’d read two of your books, FPS and 3 Mistakes. FPS was awesome. I really got back to the memories of my B.E life. 3 Mistakes was also good, but kind of a climax of bollywood movies in the end. Overall I enjoyed reading your books and I thank you a lot for providing a book which can be read without getting bored.
hey chetan…
inever read books earlier n nvr wanted to…but then i heard abt ur books 5 point sum1 & one night at d call centre frm my frnds.. which drew a bit of intrest in me…i nvr knew dat a person would start liking lreading books aftr reading one five point someone…
it was yesterday only dat i finished reading the 3 mistakes of my life…n cudnt belive myslef i had finished the book in 12 hours…
u r a gr8 writer…the one who aprroaches the youth very well….n m sure that i would be reading all ur books…n would love to know more about the unknown things abt india & its youth through the means of ur book….
you ve proved it that u r a gr8 writer…
Page 61, a spelling has to be corrected: ‘look’ should be ‘took’.
Page 129, Harbhajan did the hat trick in the first innings, on the very first day of the match and not during the 2nd innings as you wrote. I was present on the first day at Eden Gardens.
Through out the tale we never had any idea or scent that Govind loves to read. His habits are to the contrary. How come he e-mailed you before committing suicide ? A connection with him and books or with your name could have been hinted.
Just like your prevoius two, I could not put down this book and had to complete the same within 24 hours, though not within the same calendar day. It must be a success.
Shall wait eagerly for the next one.
Can your next story be placed in Kolkata?

In my opinion,THE THREE MISTAKES OF MY LIFE was like a hindi movie where everything happens from earthquake,riots to romance.It was a complete package but at the same time it was fun reading it.I am waiting for FIVE POINT SOMEONE to turn into a blockbuster film.

Comment by arvind sharma — June 22, 2008 @ 6:40 pm
Hey Dude…the latest addition to the bookshelf is a gud one but still I ll rate FPS as the best one of all 3…as it is more practical and really close to any hosteller’s life..I can simply imagine my gang in hostel in place of u three in FPS and relive my hostel days .I njoyed reading the other two but somewhere I feel that they are more from the creative part(inspired by movies kind stuff) …Neways keep writing either from creative part or practical part…..All the best..
have read ur 3rd book its too good …..
i m speechless,,,it was awesom waiting for the movies on the fps & on@cc
still i will say fps was the best keep writing
I would like to confess one thing…you brought back in me the passion of reading…your novel really made me turning pages one after other….Keep Writing.:-)
hi….Dear chetan
I m from ahmedabad.I read your 2 books FPSO n 3 MISTAKES. I m frankly saying FPSO was ok but i like 3 mistakes d most.Its really heart touching story. Generally i dont read again d same book but yar book meke me 2 read again n again. i don have even words to describe for yar books. I m keenly waiting for next book.
i have read three of ur books………they are amazing and no doubt that they are nothing but the fire fact of most people life….i think everythng u have written is very normal and simple that no one had written(focused) before….i hv studied for 3 yrs in ambavadi(ahmedabad-”near law garden”so it’s very familr places that u have mensioned in ur “THE3Mistks O M life”).good.nice.keep it up and i m ur one fan now…..i met so many actors and actress but never got so impressed as i got impression for u(for ur writing)….”jay mata di”.manoj h joshi(gujarat.)

Comment by neha chaturvedi — June 28, 2008 @ 1:03 pm
Hi Chetan,
I am kind of guy..who don’t read books…frequently….but i have read your both books..FPS..and ON@CC….i am telling you..you are fabulous in both…the way you have put up your idea…and catch the reader’s mindset…is mind blowing….I am eagerly waiting to read your next publish..hope i get it soon….
hi chetan sir…
it was an beautifull journey while i was reading ur book 3 mistakes of my life…i got deeply impressed by reading it..to tell u i m myself n theatre actor working in delhi.sir i wanted to share some of my points which i noted while i was reading ur book…i found myself very close to govind sumwere…(bt not at maths….i scored 33% in my 10th) and till the end of the book i was totally in luv wid vidya…but did’nt understood omi???is it necessary to always show a “bhondu” kind of boy in smart ones?????i knw u build up his character strong in the end but still there were sumthings which never attracted me towards him……..i loved ishaan…before joining theatres i was a lot like him(just in case i missed..”I HATE CRICKET” rest was really close to me…..ur biggest asset as an writer is that u make xtraordinary images by ur words….i m very junior to u bt still i’ll like to sugest u to direct a play…….then i also read “one night @the call center”…..its also a fab. work…now i m looking forward to read ur’s five point someone…..i wish u all the sucess in life n hope u do the same for me….n the time u start the play its my request i wud also like to act in it…….
ur’s faithfully
PRATYUSH GUPTA
HIiii,

please write the next one fast..
byee!=]
I liked your blog…It was simple & some what personal!!( The way blogs should actually be :P). Well obviously since m visiting your official website n posting comments, I have to be a fan of your writings!! I do have read all 3 of your books & they are good. The thing about not evaluating & disecting & comparing your other works, its a little difficult, cause I think its human nature to compare!! At the same time, you cannot just compare your kids!! Its true, no parents can ever do it!
You shouldnt keep so much break betw your releases!! Youth look up 2 ur writings n wait for them!!! DO keep bloging!!!
Hey Chetan, thnx a lot thnx a tonne 4 such a lovely buk writn by u 4 v ppl thnx a lot i learned n cried a lot while readin dis buk it was juz too amazin to read it d way u bought in front d amazin suspense of d characters reality n d way thy helpd thmselves 2 b back wid frndz n alwyz hav lots of fun wid frndz n d bst thng was d way learn frm ur mistakes n get up climb d place whr u cant reach……..thnx a lot 4 tht again..harshita
hi chetan(or chota chetan as u r nw equally famous),
dude great work… i really liked ur one night@CC and 5.someone.. they r really awesome. if u can post the pic of ur friend Ryan on this it would be gr888. even we want to see the hero of ur novel. i really fell in love with that character..
ur work is really amazing, mind blowing, and ur attitude is really bindaaas man!
hey keep writing. jus waiting to lay hands on ur next book..
but let us all knw wat hapnd to neha. y did u broke up with her… realllyyy wanna knw.
I’m reading your third book. I rad first two too. My third book is still remaining more than half.
I’m not reading this because I’m liking it. there are other strange reasons.
you must be wanting to know…
I’m reading because;-
there is nothing to be happy about. I’ll come with full critics. But i feel extremely disappointed yet…
I just read “1 night @ call centre”……man….tat book rocks big time…..d story,d characters,d climax…..its just out of d world…..good job…!! I have myself worked at a call centre and hence could relate to the book real well…..[:)] even 3 mistakes was really good….d last fight scared d shit out of me….liked d happy ending…..[:)] anyways,anxiously waiting for ur 4th book…..adios amigo..!!!
Love u 4 ur 3rd book!!!!!!!
Really worth reading…..
I think it just not only cost Rs 95 but definitely Rs 1,95,99,999………
It is really worth reading man!!!!!!!!!Very good job…….. Hope u continue d d same….
Actually I have not read ur previous books but after this 1 I’m seriously curious to read
them too!
Till now I only read books by Shidney Sheldon, which totally fascinated me &
I was in d belief that only fiction rocked!!!!!!!!
But u proved it wrong man!!!!!!!!!
I had never seen such a fab combo of dreams,romance,maths,ambition,religion,politics,human mentality,intense love etc etc.
But I loved every bit of it!!!!!!!!
I was deeply touched on d death of Omi……..
Anyway just wanna say gr8 going man !!!!!!!!!
Also 1 more thing 2 b added is I wannna meet Govind n Vidya!!!!!!!!
I know its not possible but hoping 4 d same!!!!!!
Love u again d book!!!!!!
Anyway bye!!!!!!!!!

Hi chetan i have read first few chapters of your book and i find it really interesting and m curious to read more so when is this book releasing around the work? thnks
I have read both one night @ call center & 3 mistakes of my life. liked so much, eagerly waiting for next, i was not in habbit of reading novels but starting with urs made something different.
I juzz read da buk 3 ‘mistakes of my life’ n thot da story line waz awsum…not sure if it really is a real lyk incident..coz it sounds a lil absurd dat sum1 4rm singapore wud land in a city lyk AHD dat 2 afta readin a SPAM lyk mail…buh den i luvd readin it..tho at sum point i thot dat it cud hav bin much better…!
i actually read da entire buk in 7 hrs flat..so u may wel imagine how gud it wud hav bin 2 keep me awake al nite..i m an 18 yr old guy..n not in2 readin much..buh i gues ive found sumthin more 2 kill tym..n dats readin…n e wayz…it is way betta dan watchin a movie…n da credit goes 2 da PLOT in ur buk rather dan u WRITIN da buk itself..!
keep up da gud work..n uve gotta improve 2 write a MOVING story!
Hey……. Hi Chetan (sir)….
U r jus Fantabulous…. d frst time i took FPS,I straight away read it 7 times durin one of mah journeys….. bt i don find ON@CC n 3 Mistakes such magnetic,.. bt i simply Luv FPS…… n it actually details us into d lives of IITians or rather What-not-to-do-at- IIT… I’d wud luv to see it turn into a realistic movie , if directed by u …….. Do keep writin….. as u r d only author whom we as d youth can connect wid….Grrrrr8 work done so far… Thanx for bein dat plain n simple………..
I have read 3 mistakes book…i just luv ur way of writing, the way u expressed ur feelings…everyone who read d book got involved in it ! CHETAN BHAGAT simply ROCKS..hats off to u ! never care for other’s comments…just put ur thoughts in d book, u just changed the LIFE STYLE of India. keep ‘n rocking ALL THE BEST for d future
hiii chetan…. i have read ur book the 3 mistake of my life…it really rocksss…..full of romance and action… i m not a novel reader.. either i hate books..m going through mbbs….
after reading ur book m really become ur fan…and i started loving books… u really rocksss man…. i am waiting for ur next book… hope it will be great entertainer like others.. well best of luck…..
The Three mistakes were realy good.But last few chapters are not of Chetan Bhagat Type.These last chapter breaks the contact of reality that the earlier chaptes had make.All n all a good book.
Hi Chetan,
I had read both of your books FPS & ON@CC and must say that both of them are fantabolous….eagerly waiting for the ‘3 Mistakes’…..Best Wishes……

the cover is simply awesome! There is no doubt that this book would beat the success of FPSO!

hey chetan, i ve read your fps that was a fabulous book well the best book abt college days n the story is so interesting n chair cathching that i had to read it in 1 strech.good luck for your upcoming novel
best wishes
Comment by Rishabh — April 27, 2008 @ 5:14 pm
Hey Chetan,
Needless to say I’ve read FPS & ON@TCC. I was also present at Crossword when you’d launched One Night. I’ve my copies signed by you and they’re my prized possession. I read your interview in Brunch today and that’s how I got to know about your third book.
I’ve read the excerpt of The 3 Mistakes of My Life. I can’t tell you how much am I waiting to lay my hands on the third book. Although I fear your fans don’t start sending out suicide emails hoping you’d visit them as well. The cover looks marvelous. Will have to wait a little more to know all about Govind, his friends, cricket, business, religion and everything else you’ve to write about them all.
In any case, wish you all the luck and success for your upcoming book and all future endeavors in life. Will see you at Phoenix Mills on Thu, May 8th 7pm.

Hi Chetan,
I am a die hard fan of the way you write.
I’ve read both Five Point Someone and One Night……..and now badly waiting for the third one.
Wish you all the best!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Deepika — April 30, 2008 @ 5:52 pm
Liked the cover very much. IPL is current season.
Nice catchy cover Chetan!!
So anything “Cricket” will sell out. And if Chetan Bhagat is
selling it, I will die to buy it
All the best with this one. I am sure this book too, will be
a huge success.

hi in the book fps you never reviled that do you ya don’t you get married to neha . or do u atlest meet her in the marriage … and in the book on@cc you again never said ya reviled who that girl was whom you met in the train … you literally left me counting stars man
Comment by syed zaid — May 5, 2008 @ 10:08 pm
Hi Chetan,
I understand ur so busy with the launch of new book that its nearly impossible to answer each and everyone’s query and blogs but thanks for answering my earlier queries and its so nice of u that u had kept the price so low that every one can afford to buy that book bcoz book piracy is such a big problem in India and particularly in Bombay.
Thanks once again and best wishes for “The 3 Mistakes of my life”
Comment by Sunny Munot — May 6, 2008 @ 2:32 am
Hi Chetan,
I was in one of the IITs (not as a student) for sometime. Your first book FPS was out that time, but then I didn’t get a chance to read that. Sometime back, I got that as a gift and after reading that, lots of mysteries I had surrounding the IIT Btech guys got solved ;). It is a wonderful piece of writing, which is really fresh in style. Two days back, I started with your ON@TCC and that’s also really gripping. And checking your site today, I saw your ‘3′ is releasing on May 8th. I am going to get it at the earliest and am pretty sure, it’s going to make a good read.All the best for ‘3′.
Comment by Girija Vallabha — May 6, 2008 @ 2:02 pm
hi chetan,
i read ur both the books. FPS was simply fantastic but i never expected One night @ call center to do exceedingly as well..but it turned out to be …while reading immediate connection is established …and we realise we face similar situations more often in our lives but u brought out the humour & learning out of it, which we so easily ignore….
looking forward to read more of CB’s

Hi Chetan…It’s a pleasure for me to post a comment for your books…I am an avid reader of your books and its amazing to know that u r coming wid d book soon…I want 2 b a part of the release but i cannot as it is in Lower Parel, Mumbai…….I mean far way for me at least……
I still read your last 2 books…whenever i can..I have read them many times, but whenever i raed i find something new about it….And i wish u all d best for all your future endeavours….Tc and all the best…I will keep posting my comments
Comment by Kavita — May 7, 2008 @ 2:35 pm
HI Chetan
I dont know from where but I have just read a small excerpt from ‘3 mistakes’. It sounds really interseting and I am sure you will be successfull with this one also but I am having a doubt in my mind. I wanted to know from you that how much for these narrations are really your life experience and how much is the imagination.

Hey man,
Salman Khan will play author Chetan Bhagat in a film version of ‘One Night @ the Call Centre’ and will paint him a cover for ‘The Three Mistakes of My Life,’ of which one surely is casting Salman Khan.
Got this news frm internet..hehe

I am from ahmedabad. Can u tell me when will be the book available in store?
Comment by Hardik — May 10, 2008 @ 2:31 am
hi CB
just read the excerpt…..liked it…but 1 prob…when i clicked the link u provided on ur mail 2 me after i signed for more excerpts 4m ur TM2L(short 4 The Three Mistakes of My Life),it asks me again 2 give e-mail ids of my frnds……..moreover after AGAIN providing ids……it didn’t give me the excerpt……that’s not good…..
…..as ur TM2L seems 2 be VERY interesting…..i’m desperate 2 finsih reading it ASAP.
ur FPS was JHAKKAS….it simply hooked me
but that was not with ONC2….truly speaking….i was bored……i was wondering how can an author of that calibre(i find it after reading FPS) could produce a book like ONC2…
by the way…..i hope 2 lay my hands on TM2L book by 2morrow evening…….as this time there is none of my IIT frnds who can lend me his book…as was the case with the earlier 2….
and yes thanks 4 giving us a moment 2 enjoy thru ur books.
keep writing…..

brother i read your book, 5point someone & I must tell you it was a great experience really ,, it was close to heart , it imaginable , no time it looked like a fiction .
But i was kinda diappointed with your second book , it looked fabricated unlike your first book .
I hope the third book is even better then the first one . And I am eagerly waiting for the ‘IDIOT’.
Comment by pratik uppal — May 10, 2008 @ 11:51 am
hello chetan
it was a mere chance dat i got a catch of FPS at some railway station & read it completely in my journey. it ws an awesome work wid which all cud relate in their lives.
as a credit to ur FPS i read ONCC but it ws not dat gud as FPS.
expecting dat u recreate ur magic by 3Mistakes.
i saw ur interview on some news channel today & was a pleasure to know u so closely thru it.

Sir..
It was one of my close pals who gifted me Five point someone..This was probably the only book I finished reading continuosly at a stretch..
Coming to your second book, one night at a call center, it was kind of good and also lil bit boring as well..
And I have been eagerly waiting to read your New book ‘The 3 Mistakes of my life’..
I live in US and I am eager to know if the book has released worldwide, or is it just released in India…Coz, I tried to look up for the book online in some bookstores and not able to find it..Even in the ebay, I am not able get the book…Would be very greatful if you could let me know where can I purchase your book…
Thnx
One of your Many admirers

Hi Chetan,
This is Chirag Patel from Ahmedabad. An Engg. grad. working with an
MNC at Delhi.
This is my first ever mail to any author as such in my life span of
25 yrs. Today I just started your latest book ” The 3 mistakes of my
life “. As usual, like with ur previous books also, I simply sticked to
book once started.
Just during first chapter itself, I found at many places the ”
Amdavad ” word has been misspelled by ” Ambavad “. I am sure you must be
knowing this fact and this would have been only printing mistake.
But frankly speaking, it was my wish to mail you is more than that
the word correction. I simply love the way you write and style of
changing the whole emotions at many places during story by putting some funny
and humour lines. Simply delightful.
Ok. I just wish you will correct the word ( Amdavad ) in your next
printing lot of book.
I, on behalf of all your readers, wish you ALL THE BEST for your
future and we are sure you will never disappoint us.
CHIRAG PATEL

I’ve read your “One night at the Call Center” and am simply mesmerized by it. You’re a genius- both in the narrative and the characterization. The dialogues are so realistic. I’ve become an afficionado of yours. I’m planning to buy all the books that you produced and will produce. Movies are also being made on your stories but I don’t know whether they wll do justice to the spirit of your books.
Comment by Bindesh — May 12, 2008 @ 6:54 pm

hello
i am not sure how should i address you, but i think bhaiya could do fine,since uncle doesn’t go with your image.
bhaiya,
i have read FPS 14 times ,i like this book very much. being a student and preparing for engg entrances made me connect with it instantly.
But this new book of yours is surely a mile ahead. This was better than your previous books..
a more captivating plot , great emotional depth and insight into character’s lives made it strike a chord immediately.
the story showed me what i as a young child could not see.
It made me laugh and cry,
it was so captivating that i finished it in 4 hours flat.
thank you for adding another beautiful book of yours into my library.
you are an idol.jai hind.
Comment by Swagat Yadav — May 14, 2008 @ 2:42 am
Hi Chetan.
U write awesome. I started reading after reading ur books. They are no doubt fantabulous and am eagerly waiting for ur 3rd book, which I heard is released.
Best luck for that and also for the movie thats coming up.
U really make the characters perform infront of my eyes when I was reading. A great job indeed.
Comment by Sudeep Jambekar — May 14, 2008 @ 7:55 pm
Hi Chetan,
Sorry |Even i know that your book will launch in Pune on 25th of may, I already arranged your third book.
|I spent two days to find it, and just 6 hours to read it.
|See i am not a good reader. I not often read books but whatever i do i do with full of heart and mind.
First i want to tell some good about the book.
1. The Story
2. The various word which you used in books to explain the situations, like meal |For Omi is not profitable.
3.Your Consistency in writing your style . for Eg Use the word “love”.
4.The great start of your book which attracts attention.
5.The great way of writing that proves that you know about something. Like Probability example for your knowledge of maths.Like word Orkut, Like word Benefit of Doubt that shows that you know something about LAW. Aust. players name about your cricket knowledge. The speech of that Gujarati person to tell about your knowledge of Hinduism. etc etc.
6.The way of linking the various major and shocking events like WTC attack, Godhra Kand,Gujrat violence, Cricket victory, Earthquake.amazing work.
7.Your style of writing the story in other persons language.
8. The main thing is your view about india and your heart which is connected with India. This book may opposed by some group of peoples but it will be fine soon as we all are with you.
Now lets talk about little Criticism:
1.I read one another book of Paulo Chelo. The opening line was Once upon a time there was a …..
I hope you read that book. The first para in that book is not forgettable by any one who read that book. Am i right? If yes i just expect similar kind of phrases from you which we cant forget.Of course his style of writing is different than you, but accepting a better things is never a wong idea.Ya one more good thing about you that we cant forget the characters of your books. |Keep it up
So i expect some more improvement in you in your next book.
Till than Best of luck 4 your wonderful work which not even make us happy but also give some way of thinking.
Take care. Bye. And Ya have a nice evening. And due to this mail,this time your coffee will not prohibited you to drink it.

i finished reading three mistakes of my life a couple of days back…
its a nice novel, a mixture of all..sentiment, romance, fun, responsibilities….
i read both the previous novels.
i rate 5.someone on top. 2nd would be 3 mistakes of my life and then the on@cc.
good luck for ur future novels..
Comment by Narasimha Rao — May 17, 2008 @ 1:08 am
Dear sir,
The book is wonderful. I actually found it to be better than d previous two.
I loved the very intricate descriptions and also the fact that the story revolves around three characters or “ideas”,to be precise.The book had me laughing my guts out and also wiping off my tears(at times).I think its a beautiful book also because it deals with the riots and earthquake and how people’s lives are affected by them.
Thank you for writing “the 3 mistakes of my life”. It has been a pleasure reading it.
But I have a question -Why does someone have to die in your stories?
Comment by viniyata — May 17, 2008 @ 12:10 pm
hi sir
i just comleted ur third masterpiece.(2 mins ago)
it is strange that i m from ahmdedabad too. (???!!!!!)have three friends..
i luv this city as much as ur characters do.. i brought up here. naver missed any rain so far..
i have read all of them now and i m the first one in ahmedabad to purchse ur book(atleast i think that)…
my elder bro.think that on@cc is the best..i think five point someone is..
the dinosourse line is still my favourite… felt same way many times….

Hi Chetan,
Congratulations for your latest release. I came on to this site to tell everyone that you really make me read. I never read books/novels till i put my eyes on 5 point someone. I really enjoyed the book, the style of writing. I could actually imagine stuff and apply it to my life. I read the second one “One night at the call centre”.
I was so happy to see “3 Mistakes of my life” as soon as I saw By Chetan Bhagat, the book was in my shopping cart.
Started reading it at night and could not stop till mid-night. I was laughing all alone. Some situations were so funny, my stomach started paining with laughter.
Thanks a lot Chetan for writing such a wonderfull book.

Comment by pallavi — May 19, 2008 @ 3:48 pm
Hi,
I finished reading 3 mistakes this morning only
and hope to read it again!!!! This one really rockks!!
As the story progressed, it only got interesting though
I was stumped out in climax(I really feel, it could have been different)!!!
The problems discussed in book are also relavent (& thought provoking).
Overall, it’s just another feather in cap of Mr.Bhagat!!!
Thanks for beautiful novel!

Comment by Arindam — May 20, 2008 @ 1:03 am
Chetan, I’ve written you in a personal mail but you didn’t reply as you’ve mentioned, you’re dead busy with ceremony of the 3. I belong to Ahmedabad n so kindly I would like to draw attention of all readers about a few mistakes which you’ve commited in your book!
1. it’s “Amdavad” in Gujarati, not “Ambavad”
2. Name of the area is “Behrampura”, not “Behlampur”. It seems you didn’t go for enough survey about city name itself n areas. “nana park” is also not the correct one!
3. Earthquack was on 26th jan 2001. Your book starts in march 2000 and after saving money for 2 yeas, Gopal booked that shop which was crashed in earthquack!!! I wonder how could you do such a mistake?
Anyway, I’ve finished the book by 10th may itself, just like 1night@call center. I would like to say, 3 was more of a typical masala kind of book like a bolywood movie. It was humourous for sure but how could you write for money, yaar. I mean, when i read 5.some1, I was floored on you. I was eagerly waiting n hoping for your next book which was cool too. nothing matches 5.some1 for sure. sorry for being so curt but just can’t help it as I thought you’re a different person who doesn’t work for money but writes passionately.
Nevermind, I would still write your 4th book if you write in future as I still believe you n your worth.
Have nice times.

Hi Chetan….
I am really a very big fan of yours. I never used to read novels. The very first novel I read was yours “5 point someone” and really loved the book.
This made me read you other novel “One night @ the call centre”
I hope if I was a good write like you.
Good luck for ur future novels.
I wish you reply to my mail.

Dear Chetan,
Have read The Three Mistakes of Life and cannot able to stop inbetween. Really a nice & simply mindblowing. As a Management guy, I can see myself in the characters.And till today I have completed two times.

Comment by manasi — May 23, 2008 @ 8:58 pm
All three books are amazing,mind boggling, fantastic.
I am just out of words.
i like the way you write, everytime it seems that this is what is going to happen next but then it is completely different.
Comment by Nompika Kidiyoor — May 24, 2008 @ 3:04 am
Hi Chetan,
I just finished reading “The 3 Mistakes of my life” its again a fantastic creation of yours however i found the charm missing as compared to the 2 books earlier the topics you picked were good1 Riotsand Earthquake esp were untouched in contrast with the youth. But what i felt while reading it was i lost intrest at some places which was continously there in your earlier creations.
I aspire to be a writer and have written 8 short stories and have always dreamt of seeing my name in authors like you, vikram seth, shashi tharur, anita desai etc.
I will be mailing you a couple of my stories shortly.
Please evaluate and if possible do give me a feedback.
Regards,
Karan Kapoor

Hi Chetan,
I just finished reading 3 mistakes ..yesterday!!
Good stuff but definitely cannot be compared to ‘Five point someone’..
I was expecting something new this time but it turned out to be the same
friends-caught-up-in-big-problems kind of story.
Expecting something different from you next time.[:)]
Comment by Divya — May 25, 2008 @ 3:17 pm
Hello Chetan,
Well i agree with Divya somewhere but i guess i had the same problem when i read continiously your previous books.
A)Five point some one was the Legend.
B)One night@Call center again was good but it didn’t get grip for few days because it felt same way as before, so i picked one jefery Archer book just for a different taste and then i went back to One Night… it agin became another legend.
C)The 3 mistakes of my Life– is another wonderful book, which finished yesterday, and still in a hangover.I wish you would have kept complete Happy ending..without ending my fav. character.
You have that magic of Story writing..it gives an experience of watching movie.
I love to read people minds, you write a complete story on them..i guess we have more or less 500 million people in this world and half of them share same nature. You can write about atleast 50(negotiable) books in a year. I like your work so do my all friends.
i feel lucky that i got to read all three books of yours, and still waiting for new arrivals.
All the Best and Congratulations.
P.S: Heard thet, Five point someone soon will be a movie…please try this almost impossible thing, try casting Sharukh Khan, Salman khan, Amir khan.
Comment by Trupti Shinde — May 26, 2008 @ 2:29 pm
Dear Chetan;
Hi, Congrats on your third book.
I think its too big conversation with u and it require lots of time to read and think but I request u “chetan” please read this one because it helps me lot to extract my bloody thoughts. Because I think “GDHARA” please readout yaar “khuda ke liye”
With this “OUR” book One thing I would like to point out on page no. 11 regarding the conversations associated with respect to TV with G.Patel and his mom (I think the first conversation with his mom; and latter in book where after earthquake G.Patel switch on the TV to see exactly what happen on TV.?????????? Again I m not interested to find mistake in “MASTERPIECE”(I think this is master stroke from all of above your novel not your but of all novel available in library in all languages (I read only two languages Gujarati and English)
Actually my work and my superior taught me to always find mistake in masterpiece however that’s part of life.
Honestly I m saying I m more eager to highlighted my depthless and attachment with character of this book while I reading this novel (I read this novel by bunking my factory work hours(in fact two days) ; I m working in company (not a college student)) and read same on railway platform
I think on spending two days on reading and thinking on the content of this book; I associated all people on station in these two days with character of this book I find each of character on station whether; G.Patel;Omi;Omi’s mama OR ALI OR his papa;Vidya etc……all are available on station.
Why I write all these “CHETAN” because chetan this is not a book; this is a mirror image of India and I think “MOB” is more suitable word in spite of India. I m 100 percent sure that u r also not comfortable as well as not proud (I also not felling to be proud while reading as Indian or (part of mob)) while writing the issue associated before and after “GODHARA” incidence in this book
“And after all u dedicated this book to our country.”
I m sure that no one like to read again of the last page of book related to how to save Ali’s Life? This is really image of India (or mob or our country) clearly seen in it and no one of us really be proud for that? Because we all are part of that bloody mob. we all are happy while irfan took wickets or while shahrukh dances with pretty girls; when we all are alone
But when we together in “MOB” we did every thing what u described in your book; because I heard not heard but memorized all comments associated with Godhara and post Godhara riots in FEB 2001 and even latter sensitive issue regarding “STRING OPERATION” on godhara issue on ajjtak just before the Gujarat election and again I heard same “NON SENSE” comment from all educated MOB and u also known who won the election………. this is not full stop but big “QUESTIONMARK” on our country feature with this bloody mob. Because we never like to analyze the situation independently we always like to speak other Bloody people word blindly and million others too. I think from Feb 2001 NOT FROM FEB 2001 but from where I understand the word what is Hindu and Muslim.
where all these stop; where all these end where we live together?????????????????
And after all chetan I m keenly interested that “PLEASE MAKE MOVIE ON THIS FILM BECAUSE WE NEED MOVIE ON THIS TOPIC NOT WE REQUIRED MOVIE LIKE HELLO OR THREE IDIOTS”
U are well associated with film industry and making film on this subject will really a big slap on this mob because we only have one medium that is film that each one had understood because I think each has its own brain either they all r part of mob and from if any thing like “Godhara incidence” happen in future they see ali or dhirag in that mob. and from amongst all of us one OMI or ISH or GOVIND PATEL will have been stood up to save Ali.
And one thing people learnt faster from surrounding ;( Best example is first conversation of OMI with Ali’s father on secularism; fortunately Omi understood all in latter in this book but unfortunately this is book while u arrange all according to your thoughts and in life every thing end with same opinion just like what bitto mama have)
Frankly I also know that making film on this sensitive issue is not easy as to arrange training for ali in Australia but “CHETAN” u will have to have do it man;because we have to create ali and of course OMI;ISH and Govind and spread thoughts of ali’s father in all this mob so after sometime some one converted this MOB or us in to an Indians
And last but not least the reason why u has to make this film on this subject because…………………………………..
“U dedicated this book to our country which called you back”
Waiting for intense action of your and BEST OF LUCK
Regards
Tejas Patel
Comment by Tejas Sureshchandra Patel — May 27, 2008 @ 12:10 am
Hi Chetan,
I read both books of yours a while ago, I liked both of them and could relate myself with the second one, I can put myself in the character of protagonist,be it his professional life of romantic,I found both books fantastic but I have some complaints which I think are there because people me have started counting on you. Ya my complaints:
1.You do touch some very sensitive issue but
>you just don’t go well into depth, probably behind the scene you go or may be just to make your novel to be read in light mood you don’t address the reality much.
>I know you are not a reformer but you must look to find a transcendental purpose in your writing
>Your answers to the question that you yourself raise are very animated, rather I would say your question raise a sense of hope in otherwise disappointed people but your answers kill that hope.
I am not writer but I do write for myself,I can see your writing and trust me a lot others like me have myriad hopes from you.
I gotta go but shall keep you posted

Comment by deepika jain — June 3, 2008 @ 6:30 pm
Hi Chetan. I am a software engineer from Pune. I have just finished reading ‘3 Mistakes of my life’. Though it sounds as filmy as One Night@Call Center, I have absolutely no issues/complains regarding the book. I enjoyed it till the last word. Sometimes, it so happens that you like the characters in the book so much that after finishing the book an emptiness appears in your life for some days. I am still wondering or rather worrying about Ali’s future in Indian Cricket Team, Vidya’s following life with Govind, Govind’s friendship with Ish, Omi’s unlikely death and the stupid religious fanatism which will never stop intimidating our lives in the time to come. I started writing this comment to ask you whether this story “really” existed or not. But as I progressed and started analysing the whole plot, it no more concerns me now. The characters are alive and kicking in my mind and story’s falsity won’t prompt them to be spurious. To be frank, I did not like your second book and ‘Five Point Someone’ still enjoys the higher status than the third book. But I must tell you that your writing has some mystical thing which incited a James Joyce-fan like me to quickly purchase ‘3 Mistakes…’ at overcrowded Chandigarh Bus Stand at 12 O’clock in the mid-night a week ago as soon as I read your name underneath the title…

Hey Chethan. Great Work!!! Just finished reading your third book. You indeed are a Magician when it comes to getting your views across to large masses, concealed in tiny packets of cricket, unconditional friendship, sweet teenage romance, the dirty politics and the senseless religion-ism! As a Neurosurgeon found the Hyper reflex condition secondary to some wrong wiring in the brain a little too much to bite, but the rest of the entire book was simply fabulous!!! Definitely another blockbuster movie! Only hitch being protests from some senseless, empty headed religious politicians!
Keep the good work going ! I have become your fan after this one. All the best!

hi…i was’nt actually a fan f urs after d first 2 books bt d third 1 just floored me.a few reasons why i lyked it
*its a 21st generation book referring 2 d masses f our country.(d 21st gen rural people)
*its an entertainer,with burden f a heavy topic-religion on it..we all knw about religious politics nd stuff but ur buk actually showed d exact picture f how 2day people hav 2 face it.
* d earthquake actually ws a disastr(in d real; world),though by readin ur book, i cud actually feel d sufferings f d people.
*i luvd d trio.dats d way peopl r..now-a-days
*and d girl(a village girl), just 18…knows stuff..tws gr8
*wat made u chose her b’day date..actually my b’day is also on d same day..lol
*just 1 complaint. pls dont call maths h stupid..u must hav guessd it why…

Comment by Dr. Ali — June 17, 2008 @ 12:09 am
Hey,
I’ve never enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed FPS. It was hillarious, is an understatement. I’d laugh thinking about some scenes even today. I’m was on post partum recovery when I read the book a few months ago(I’ve had this book on my shelf for over 3 years, just din’t get around reading it earlier!). The book gave a good filip to my mood then and I just can’t believe the number of books I’ve read since , it set the pace for good reading.I also think you’ve set the trend for people to sit up and take notice of Indian Writing. The number of books that get released in the Indian Writing Category makes you wonder if it will some day equal the number of IIM passouts! I’d read ON@CC earlier and that was a good book too. Book 3 is a disappointment of sorts. I also like the way you’ve presented your blog! Keep entertaining!!!!!!
bye…..

hey chetan,i read all three books of yours.then start with the first one.FPS was very nice,simplly a fun book.but i did’t like one night @ the callcentre that much though.but then congrats again u r back with a bang.3 mistakes has everything in it from politics to religious dicotomy,communal riots to dreams and from love to sex.ha ha ,in all ,READING THE THREE MISTAKES OF MY LIFE,WAS NOT A MISTAKE AT ALL……

Hello Mr. Chethan,
I’d read two of your books, FPS and 3 Mistakes. FPS was awesome. I really got back to the memories of my B.E life. 3 Mistakes was also good, but kind of a climax of bollywood movies in the end. Overall I enjoyed reading your books and I thank you a lot for providing a book which can be read without getting bored.

Comment by harshitaa — June 19, 2008 @ 7:57 pm
Dear Chetan,
I am 43 so I think I can call you by name.
Some comments about your latest book:
Page 61, a spelling has to be corrected: ‘look’ should be ‘took’.
Page 129, Harbhajan did the hat trick in the first innings, on the very first day of the match and not during the 2nd innings as you wrote. I was present on the first day at Eden Gardens.
Through out the tale we never had any idea or scent that Govind loves to read. His habits are to the contrary. How come he e-mailed you before committing suicide ? A connection with him and books or with your name could have been hinted.
Just like your prevoius two, I could not put down this book and had to complete the same within 24 hours, though not within the same calendar day. It must be a success.
Shall wait eagerly for the next one.
Can your next story be placed in Kolkata?

In my opinion,THE THREE MISTAKES OF MY LIFE was like a hindi movie where everything happens from earthquake,riots to romance.It was a complete package but at the same time it was fun reading it.I am waiting for FIVE POINT SOMEONE to turn into a blockbuster film.

n i m despretely wait for the movie based on one night @ call centre…
may god bless u n u will write more n more..inpirational books..

Hey Dude…the latest addition to the bookshelf is a gud one but still I ll rate FPS as the best one of all 3…as it is more practical and really close to any hosteller’s life..I can simply imagine my gang in hostel in place of u three in FPS and relive my hostel days .I njoyed reading the other two but somewhere I feel that they are more from the creative part(inspired by movies kind stuff) …Neways keep writing either from creative part or practical part…..All the best..

hi chetan sir…
it was an beautifull journey while i was reading ur book 3 mistakes of my life…i got deeply impressed by reading it..to tell u i m myself n theatre actor working in delhi.sir i wanted to share some of my points which i noted while i was reading ur book…i found myself very close to govind sumwere…(bt not at maths….i scored 33% in my 10th) and till the end of the book i was totally in luv wid vidya…but did’nt understood omi???is it necessary to always show a “bhondu” kind of boy in smart ones?????i knw u build up his character strong in the end but still there were sumthings which never attracted me towards him……..i loved ishaan…before joining theatres i was a lot like him(just in case i missed..”I HATE CRICKET” rest was really close to me…..ur biggest asset as an writer is that u make xtraordinary images by ur words….i m very junior to u bt still i’ll like to sugest u to direct a play…….then i also read “one night @the call center”…..its also a fab. work…now i m looking forward to read ur’s five point someone…..i wish u all the sucess in life n hope u do the same for me….n the time u start the play its my request i wud also like to act in it…….
ur’s faithfully

Hey Chetan,
I liked your blog…It was simple & some what personal!!( The way blogs should actually be :P). Well obviously since m visiting your official website n posting comments, I have to be a fan of your writings!! I do have read all 3 of your books & they are good.
The thing about not evaluating & disecting & comparing your other works, its a little difficult, cause I think its human nature to compare!! 
At the same time, you cannot just compare your kids!! Its true, no parents can ever do it!
You shouldnt keep so much break betw your releases!! Youth look up 2 ur writings n wait for them!!! DO keep bloging!!!

I’m reading your third book. I rad first two too. My third book is still remaining more than half.
I’m not reading this because I’m liking it. there are other strange reasons.
you must be wanting to know…
I’m reading because;-
there is nothing to be happy about. I’ll come with full critics. But i feel extremely disappointed yet…
Comment by arvind kumar — July 3, 2008 @ 5:59 pm

Comment by Mugdha — July 4, 2008 @ 1:54 am
Hi Chetan!!!!!!!!!
Love u 4 ur 3rd book!!!!!!!
Really worth reading…..
I think it just not only cost Rs 95 but definitely Rs 1,95,99,999………
It is really worth reading man!!!!!!!!!Very good job…….. Hope u continue d d same….
Actually I have not read ur previous books but after this 1 I’m seriously curious to read
them too!
Till now I only read books by Shidney Sheldon, which totally fascinated me &
I was in d belief that only fiction rocked!!!!!!!!
But u proved it wrong man!!!!!!!!!
I had never seen such a fab combo of dreams,romance,maths,ambition,religion,politics,human mentality,intense love etc etc.
But I loved every bit of it!!!!!!!!
I was deeply touched on d death of Omi……..
Anyway just wanna say gr8 going man !!!!!!!!!
Also 1 more thing 2 b added is I wannna meet Govind n Vidya!!!!!!!!
I know its not possible but hoping 4 d same!!!!!!
Love u again d book!!!!!!
Anyway bye!!!!!!!!!

Hey chetan!
I juzz read da buk 3 ‘mistakes of my life’ n thot da story line waz awsum…not sure if it really is a real lyk incident..coz it sounds a lil absurd dat sum1 4rm singapore wud land in a city lyk AHD dat 2 afta readin a SPAM lyk mail…buh den i luvd readin it..tho at sum point i thot dat it cud hav bin much better…!
i actually read da entire buk in 7 hrs flat..so u may wel imagine how gud it wud hav bin 2 keep me awake al nite..i m an 18 yr old guy..n not in2 readin much..buh i gues ive found sumthin more 2 kill tym..n dats readin…n e wayz…it is way betta dan watchin a movie…n da credit goes 2 da PLOT in ur buk rather dan u WRITIN da buk itself..!
keep up da gud work..n uve gotta improve 2 write a MOVING story!
regards!
Comment by Akash — July 18, 2008 @ 10:29 pm
as sum1 pointd out in da bove comments dat CHETAN shud reduce usin da dreaded ‘F’, ‘S’ n ‘P’ words…m totally censorin of creativity!
buh den i neva thot a small town gurl/guy use such words…n so usin dem in ur latest buk waz shockin 2 me more dan n e thin..lol

Hey……. Hi Chetan (sir)….
U r jus Fantabulous…. d frst time i took FPS,I straight away read it 7 times durin one of mah journeys….. bt i don find ON@CC n 3 Mistakes such magnetic,.. bt i simply Luv FPS…… n it actually details us into d lives of IITians or rather What-not-to-do-at- IIT… I’d wud luv to see it turn into a realistic movie , if directed by u …….. Do keep writin….. as u r d only author whom we as d youth can connect wid….Grrrrr8 work done so far… Thanx for bein dat plain n simple………..
Lotsss of Luck n Regards !

The Three mistakes were realy good.But last few chapters are not of Chetan Bhagat Type.These last chapter breaks the contact of reality that the earlier chaptes had make.All n all a good book.
