Hi,Chetan I’m a huge a big fan of yours. I’ve read both of your releases. But one thing i cannot understand why did you ask the three questions in the beginning of ‘One night @ call center’.
I know your third release will also be an awesome.

hey chetan…im a big bookworm by nature n i just love ur books….but with tht i also have a biiiiiigggg complaint….we get to read ur books only after like 3 yrs….in these years i have read five point someone 9 times and one night at the call center 6 times….best of luck for your future ventures…hope u achieve success throughout….keep up the good work…u rock…!!:):)
Hy Chetan, Its really a big deal to write such awesome stories. I am a big fan of yours. Generally I don’t read novels, I hated them to the core. But after reading fivepoint someone I actually started reading novels. But yes I read only yours. You are doing a good job. Your way of presentation, language used, interesting plots, cool characters n yes a good message given by the story. I really love your writing skills. I just pray that you keep writing more books in the future too. Bye.
GOD BLESS !!
hey chetan im a big fan of urz…….man india needs interseting writers like u….im completely impressed n loved ur books a lotttt…..oh d fun n eagerness 2 noe wads nxt after every chapter is sumthng i get while reading ur books…..im eagerly waitin 2 read ur 3rd book….4 shure it haz 2 b good….dude keep writin for teens like us….n im lookin forward 2 meet u wen u cum 2 bombay(lower parel)…..pretty excited ya….GOD BLESS!!n keep writin n rockin!!!
Just wondering why Chennai is not included in the launch itinerary, considering how 5 point someone does so well as a play too each time it is staged here…?!
All the very best for the next book launch. partly read the first chapter, sounds interesting as usual….hope to grab the copy soon….(dude hope this book is also priced cheap…for poor readers like me take care.
-jaya
Hi Chetan…[:)]
starting from the bottom line…. YOU n YOUR work has inspired me to a great deal… after reading your books i actually discovered myself… and realised that the past is gone and then i mirrored myself and discovered the true bliss within me and realised that the time is to move on…and came to know the people who had actually stolen my energy…after analising all this… FINALLY I HAVE STARTED OFF LOVING MYSELF….
I am a girl who really wish to explore myself… and want to think beyond my thoughts even… YOU AND YOUR WORK has actually helped me out TO DISCOVER MYSELF….
Eagerly waiting for YOUR third work which will again help me… and frame me….
Thank you so much Chetan… [:)]

Hi Chetan,my name’s Akshay(New Delhi)…1st of all…ALL THE BEST 4 ur Next Book…
Lemme kick off by sayin tht u r absolutely brilliant @ connecting with the Youth(Indian 2 b precise). Your style of writing is pretty awesum,2 say the least. I was an avid & enthusiastic reader of both of ur earlier books - Five Point Someone & One Night @ The Call-Center(I bought 2 copies each,of both). Since i’m a 21 yr. old guy,working in Convergys - Gurgaon(Call-Center),i could actually connect with the books on more of a personal basis. I’m really awaitin the Movie “Hello” based on ur book & ur third book - The 3 Mistakes Of My Life. Actually 2 tell u the truth,i already went ahead & advance booked it,still i’ll try & b at the Book Launch(@ Gurgaon).
Would luv 2 get 2 meet u…
well sir, u r one of my favourite authors.your books specially fivepoint had the story similar to my boarding school .how we bunked from classes, ragging,hostel life everything that we did. i couldnt explain it u sir. hope u understand. thanks for giving such a wonderful book.would love to read the upcoming.

Hey Chetan,
This is the first time m writing to an author……tat too of 2 extremely well-written
books.to be frank….books were never associated with me……me n books are like 2
extremes. but the first book i read One nyt @ Call Centre (due to peer pressure)n njoid
it thoroughly……i was so engrossed in the book that i finished it in a days time.
Its hard for a fresher into reading to finish a novel is such a pace. neways this novel
lead me to the curiousity to read the other one as well…..n it rocked as well. n since
then m waiting for the 3rd book. Read the excerpts……..n its build a lotta curiousity.
i will miss the launch…..but i feel wat matters is that i read the book…..m definatley
sure that i will meet u for sure….atleast once…..cos the only thing i wanna know tat
wat is it that makes u write in such a simple way….that directly hits the heart. i mean
no author has ever impressed me much. though i hv read on a 4-5 books….that includes 2
of ur books.
HELLLO CHETAN SIR,
i m AMIT BHIME from (ujjain)india. i am very big fan yours…i loved both five point someone & one night at call centre…. really great work. and i m looking forword for ur next book…and the very 1st copy is mine ok.
really 5 point someone develops a joy in my heart and desire to do some best…i m also frm boarding school. and i miss my hostel life.thats why i like 5 pont some one very much… anyway please give me reply if possible..pleaaaaaaase.
good luck for your next book..i m waiting for both your book and ur reply…

Wish you all the very best for the endeavour. I have both of your previous books in my personal library and hope to get the third one tomorrow once you launch the same at Amby Mall, C ya there…
Chetan,
I happened to read your last two books by fluke but now am happy that i did. I am one fourth through with your 3rd book and the way you have crossed the mistake on your cover page gives a deep insight to your creative pscyche.As a student neither did i like maths like your pals Omi & Ish.Your content catches my attention for your simple and neat language and transports me to the world which you have penned down.Continue the good work of writing your past life so vividly.Good luck!
Comment by Ranjeeta Mallick — May 10, 2008 @ 2:32 pm
Read your third Book - Great Going , Nice Book .. deals with mnore realistic and Important topics of Society like Religion,Politics, Society- and a Refreshing youth angle to the same..
i never read any novels in my life yet….but a suggested by my frnd, i took d initiative to read “one night at call center”..dis book was too gud n provided me help at point i really needed it…then i read “5 pt. some1″ it was gud too….asusual d third book also came out gud covering new concepts…kwel i have a suggestion….i have relatives who is very excieted to read ur book but they have a problem wid english….i.e they dnt understand english….so if possible publish d books in hindi as ur an indian writer n majority of ppl in india knows hindi much rather than englihsh…
hopefully u reply me…tc…love ya writings..keep it up…!!{dnt take much time to release ur next novel..as u released ur 3rd novel after 5yrs b4 d last one}
.
…

romith

Mr. Chetan
I am really looking forward to read ur 3rd book.I’ve read ur first 2 books and i must say they are gr8.I really appreciate your novels and i think i would be very grateful if i get a chance to talk to you.Do reply sir.
Dear Mr Bhagat
Have read the first two book of yours and am really looking forward for this one as well.
I know you do not remember me but when you used to travel from HongKong to Kolkata you used to stay with us at Thoe Oberoi Grand. Luckily, I was always there whenever you used to check-in around 12:30-1:30am. You gifted me One Night at Call Centre in one of your visit, which i still hold as my biggest possesion.
My team mates were jealous of me. You should consider yourself as very lucky coz people in todays world are taking some time out just to thank you.
Keep writing so that we keep reading.
hey..
i m a diehard fan of ur writin…cool..trendy ..n easy!!! it indeed has a universal appeal!!
i m a law student…i(i guess all indian law schoolites) wud luv to hav a buk from u on the nationals !!
What a treat to read ….. enjoyed every bit of your latest release. Have no fancy words and phrases to put, am not good with them, your books touch a chord and it feels relaxing !!
Thats about it
Look forward to many more …. A warm hello to Anusha and loads of love to the kids from me and Vikas.
Hello Mr. Bhagat
I read ur latest novel and like the others you havent let down.i loved it..!The best part about ur novels is the fact that they are so easy to read.Anyone can read.And there is never a dull moment.I love your writing style, your way with words and analogies..simple,expressive and witty.
I really appreaciate the effortless amalgamation of matters of social relevance(politics in religion, politics in sports,politics in politics)with an easy-flowing plot.Its important for youngsters our age to be sensitive to social issues and authors like you who when write with a social purpose do make a helluva difference.
Besides i loove the fact that you take the reader in media res..into the heart of events from the very beginning which makes you wanna finish the novel in a go!
hi chetan sir
m in navy n i hv read ur all 3 buks..hats off to u..i must say u rocks,u r uncomparable sir..u r GOD of all novelists..m jst wting fr ur 4 frm nw..u prpring fr dt na?
hii chetan…. u must ve got commets abt ur books…. that u made young India read books…. i was one of them….

i liked d book but i felt it was very much different from d earlier 2……..
this one also made me laugh but made me sad,cry n worry too…
all d best for ur nxt venture..n for d movie-HELLO
hi sir,
today i read your new book three mistake i nmy life and it is very good and i think it is the good compare to your previous books..and i hope this book give the better response compare to your previous book.
Hi,
Read One night at Call-center thrice. I missed the launch of your new book on 8th May in Mumbai.
I received a link the otherday from a friend of mine to read the excerpt of your new book. It surely has a motivating factor to keep you hooked on it, but the way it starts on an impulsive sucidal note is quite resembling. Its not just business, love, life that provokes someone for a dreaded act, it is something called destiny. Your destiny could be an attempt to die but your still gazing at the hospital ceiling wondering-Are you dead yet?
Some are non-suicidal but cant help their nature of Not giving-up, under ANY circumstances…like me!
dear sir,
you are a very practical writer and i appreciate your writing. being in ahmd for past couple of months reading the third story the humour andinvolved in it has been realy good. your best ever book out of the three has been five point someone its a lovely book…good luck to you…
regards,
sheetal
Fantastic book…… I actually wanted to attend your launch on 8th may’08, but couldn’t coz of office timings. Have completed reading the book….. its really nice…very practical. The way u started with tht suicide note…tht was a good start.
Specially the other 2 books of urs were soooo good tht while reading i was relating myself to some of the characters. Waiting 4 u to write some more novel’s. Have you started any new one.
To be very frank….i never used to read books till date….. but started reading novel’s coz of ur 1st book.
Dear Sir
5 point someone was the first book i read(by Indian Author), and i must say that directed me toward the wonderful world of books, i believe lot more ppl have been inspired by your 2 creations since than(3rd making a lot of buzz), the best thing being, Indian Writers can write good entertaining books keeping aside the Melodrama and Misery that generally is the main content otherwise, your publishers remain my fav as i can afford the original version. What u said about makin India read would certainly help our country in more than one way.
Your Admirer and Fan
Comment by Prabhat Poddar — May 16, 2008 @ 9:16 pm
hii Chetan,
Awesome book….i couldn’t leave it before finishing. ‘The 3 mistakes of my life’ is one of the most practical ooks that i hav read. Although, my favourite is Five point someone. But this book has a jist of every aspect of life.
You rock man…
hallo sir,
i read ur new book!!to start of with it was not what i thought it would be !!I hav to tell u something whn u write a book like five point something it makes u a “LEGEND” to people like me !!UR THE BEST AND U R LIKE SACHIN TENDULKAR U EXPECTED TO PERFROM THE BEST EVERYTIME but i agree even sachin has bad days but this THREE MISTAKES OF MY LIFE GIVES AWAY MOST OF IT THRILLS IF UR A HARDCORE CHETAN BHAGAT FAN!!ITS VERY EASILY PREDICTABLE!!THE PLOT IS SO GIVES IN LIKE A MAHESH BHATT MOVIE (U HAVE ALLREADY SEEN IT IN ENGLISH MOVIE SO THE STORY KIND OF U KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS AND ALL THAT)
ANYWAYS SORRY FOR THE SPEELING AND GRAMER MISTAKES!!AND WAITING FOT THE MOVIE ON FIVE POINT !!
YOURS FAITHFULLY .,
A HARDCORE CHETAN BHAGAT FAN
hey chetan………jus to tell u dat i’m simply crazy abt ur books!
i’v read all 3 of’em! ‘3 mistakes is simply awsome!!! i cdnt help myself writing to u after reading dis! d most practical novel i’v ever read!
u rock man!!!!!
keep writing plzzzzzzzz!
i simply dont hv words fr u!!! ur my ideal!
Words are less to describe such a fine and touchin book..its a marvellous story about three young dreamers..and the way they try bringing change to their lives..everyone must read..
Just read your third one “The 3 Mistakes of My life”. I had taken it from Mumbai airport enroute to Delhi. My flight ghot delayed and delayed but mind you those 6 Hrs as a whole I hadnt felt bored for single time by reding this one.
It was a fantastic work of yours Chetan. I have a doubt in my mind if you have written whole of the content by yourself since it requires a lot of research and amalgamation of such events periodically whiich actually occurred to the fictional story is really a gr8 but would have been a herculian task. Yur dpiction was as solid as in the previous 2. And th protagnist comes from a small family and the depiction of their environmnt is quit fantastiic, it really takes a lot of courage to wite on a bit controversial matters like communalism n all. 3 mistakes woul;d definately be a milestone and bigger success. Another feather in your Cap chetan. Hope u must b weaving another story in your laptop for now. Chao!!!!
Hey chetan u inspire us to read good books in this genre..Infact U inspire me to write books too..I wish to become a good writer like U one day..its my dream..Keep It Up Chetan..U are our Inspiration!!!!!!!!!
Its fantastic to see you at such a hight. Wish I had known you during school days. I am sure I have talked to you as we both studied from 1978 - 1991 in TAPS but somehow not able to recall.
You are a good writer. Did you read any books of Abha ? I am in touch with her too.
first of all i must congratulate u on writing such an entertaining book.u keep raising d bar higher n higher.u hv def. carved a place fr urself in d writing world…d emotion,d suspence,d youthful appeal n d love fr country is quite well mixed in ur stories.
wat really sets ur book apart from every other writer(i know u dont compete wid anyone) is that–for instance when i read someone like sidney sheldon, i always think that this story is nt where i can fit myself, maybe its set for one in thousands but reading ur books it strikes that dis person could’ve been me…i mean d appeal ur book has for us 18 yr lads is amazing n thats perhaps why u r really a big success among d youth of india…u appeal to us n d way u write ur books really attracts us like anything….i for instance got really absorbed in ur book when i read it…just couldnt keep it down.
well…all d best to u…n hope u keep delivering us fantastic books like 3 mistakes again n again.
Tell you what .. i am not a book freak gal but someone told me about this book onenight@Callcenter..
I found it so interesting that i went mad reading this book.. Hope you continue wirtting and get same response.. All The Best!!!! Love You..

Dear Chetan,
Firstly, Congratulations on the success of ‘3′.I have read all three book of urs n everytime you just amaze me by writing such wonderful books, that grab my interest…All your books help me relate myself to the events given in your books… You turn non-readers into readers..For instance..my bro is totally not into reading but after reading your first book, he is a total freak for all ur books. You always raise our expectations.I am just waiting to see the films based on all of these books. I have completed all your books in a days time and wonder why does it get over so soon, feel like just going on reading it… It is said that “Books are individuals best friend” Thank you for giving me these wonderful gifts!!!
Firstly CONGRATULATIONS [:)]. Once again you had done a wonderful job as a ‘writer’. I read your 3rd book last Sunday coincidently its title too has the “3″ in it :). No doubt, its an ‘Impeccable work’. You have matured as a writer now Hari, Shyam Mehra and now Govind. Hari is not at all reflected in Govind. But personally I still like Hari a lot may be because I belong to Delhi, trying to do what other’s had never done is culture of Delhi.
‘3′ is a good book and will be a huge success beacause Govind has been a victim of circumstances, but he has never surrendered always faught with them. And that why life given him ample oppurtunities. This is really a good lesson to the people who think that the road ends after something bad happens.
Oops, I forgot to mention I have the copies of your all 3 books as a part of my small Library. I was eagerly waiting for this since the time I heard that you are writing your 3rd book. It has been a pleasure that someone writes so good.
I know you have a tremendous fan following. I am also a huge fan of your and just love the way you write. Did you notice I also used the bullet points just like Govind :). Do reply.
Again Touching the sentiments of the youth with the diversified and a right mix of Friendship , religion and the Hot Pie Cake ‘ cricket ‘. I just Finished the Book yesterday and truly saying your characters live a life as we move through the Book , as we close our eyes we could really imagine the characters and relate events with them. Great Stuff Chetan really .
Can I ask a question ,
– What happened to Ali then …… u left us to think in many ways , did he made it in some Australian Team or so ?
– Where you think is the Indian Politics is heading and as a young professional How can One Contribute ?
– What you think about the reservation Issue ?
– Is the Story inspired from a real character or its ur Imaginative creation ?
– What was your inspiration behind the book ?
Well seems I sound more like a Press Guy , Sorry for that its all out of curiosity . Kindly reply .
Regards ,
–Sandy–
Comment by Sandeep Bhardwaj — May 22, 2008 @ 8:24 pm
Your third book is a terrible one..that no one could have expected from the writer of “FIVE POINT SOMEONE”……please try to make sense through your novels…….after reading your first two books i became a fan of you..but this one really Disappointing…..[:(]
hi chetan,
i am a big fan of yours. i have read all the three books of yours. all the three are great to read in their own way. you know i read the book “the 3 mistakes of my life” seeing you in hyderabad. its an awesome book. a god one wen compared with the last two.
waiting for more books and this reader wishes you ALL THE VERY BEST.
one small request chetan. never ever le the smile on your face go. it makes all of smile tooo.
i think ur damn cute & shud think of acting in films…atleast v’ll get to c u often (apart frm ur 1 same pic). anyways ur books r interesting too ;)not started reading the 3rd but i guess it ll live up to the hype. ur pretty good at writing..think of it as a full time job…tooooo many advices i guess.
tk care
cheers…
I read your book The 3 mistkes(Completed yesterday actually), I really liked the theme, as I had a very little clue abt what had happened in Gujrat at that time. The last few pages of the bok kept haunting me all night and couldn’t sleep at all. My wife is a big fan of you and has read all your books(including 3 mistakes), she liked the book aswell.
So here we go… 3 cheers for Chetan!!
A neat book
Best Regards
Ashwin & Ashwini(My wife’s Name)
Hello sir!!
I read ur buk!! It was fun reading it!! liked it!! But sir..DONT U THINK U HAV TAKEN A SENSITIVE TOPIC?? The topic created controversies earlier which died after many attempts and can again create some..! But best of luck!! I hope no contoversies happen this time !! Sir…this is one serious suggestions to u from many of us…WE ENJOY READING UR BUKS BCOZ THEY ARE LIGHT BUKS…DONT WRITE ON SUCH HEAVY TOPICS! I had personally experienced riots…this buk made me think of them again!!
I should have written this post approximately 6 hours earlier when finished reading your new book by 4am in the morning, yesterday.
Generally, I like reading 2-4 pages at a time. However, yesterday I could just put down the book.
Congragulations!! You seem to have felt the pulse of Indian book readers. Apt price of the book, wonderful yet simple language and great story contents.
I think I had felt the same feeling after I read Five Point Someone, some years ago(I was a fresh engineering graduate at that time and the book made me more nostalgic).
Though honestly, I liked 5 point and 3 mistakes better than 1 night.
Pls keep up the good work and be rest assured that as a small fan of yours, I would encourage/ convince/ insist my colleagues & friends buy a copy of your new book, though I already have many pending requests from friends who has already asked me to share the book (when they knew I had placed an online-order for the book).This only proves that you have a huge fan following.
Love your writing.
-Debo

hey chetan!!
congratulations for ur new book!!
the 3 mistakes of my life really elevated my mood…the best part ab ur books is tht we as readers can really feel the nexus between the characters in ur novels and our real self,i think in a very subtle and charming manner have u brought up the issues concerning the indian students….their fears ,their dreams to earn big money,their sense of responsibilities …i mean i could feel the urge of achieving success just like govind did.
i cried at the end of the story..it touched my heart, n i was happy tht it ended on a happy note…i like happy endings..lol…n i am eagerly waiting for ur next book now!!
man u just roc was dat suicide thing true?? newayz d book is quite analytical in its treatement o D 3 BIGGIES O INDIA 1.RELIGION 2.CRICKET 3.YOUTH. man do try 2 write one on d north east o india u hav many readers here 2 u know..
Hi Chetan!!!
i have your book “five point someone”(sorry for being late)!!i have turned 16 lately so i have a reason for the delay…..i am looking forward to your 2 books….you said in your first book that it will not help us in getting into IIT,but that is by far the most inspiring book …..hopefully i’ll get into IIT…
i wish u success in your future projects
BYE!!!!!!!!!
hi chetan…congratulations!ur 3rd book was simply fantastic.the characters all seemed so real ‘n believable! i really liked it…though i do wish u wud hav given a physical description of the 3 main characters! well…other than that i dont have much to complain abt. of the 3 books i liked ‘five point someone’ best…probably coz it was a really inspiring read..already looking forward to ur next book!
hi..
i dont feel like callinh you sir..
i feel more friendly with you after reading all 3 books of yours..
i just finished reading “The 3 mistakes of my life”
dude seriously.. you just rock..,
i liked it and all those seens are still whirling around my head..
amazing..
must read book..
you are like god for me in putting on a story to make readers starve to read more of your stories..
Just cdnt took my eyes off the book before finishing it…But its much more complicated this time..u have taken a potshot against some specific religious fundamentalists ..Its no more go getter story like the previous ones…Though i hope u won’t face any negative vibes from such political people..Brave enough to do this!!!Just wanted to know..how much in it is real..And what’s next??Just heard Raju heerani denying things related to Idiots that its based on your novel…How about that?Just wish u release books every month..
Hi Chetan,
I just love ur writing style..I read One nite & 3 mistakes…I found both the books very interesting…really…just few questions keep poping in my mind…if u could pls took ur some time to clear…I would be really thankful to u..here u go…
Regarding both the books, is the stories are TRUE…I mean did u really met such a beautiful girl in train & got that weird email from Govind…I mean I found it really strange & dramatic…
Finally apart from all the exceptions I loved both the books…I worked in a BPO for 3 years & right now working in a KPO since last 2 years & can really identify myself with ur charectors…
Keep rocking…n m dying to read ur next book…till then I will read ur current books again n again n again…cheers!!!!

waiting for your fourth book…..and…..the movie Hello.!!
I have seen the teaser of it at the launch of your third book. It looked very good..!!!!
The place which you have crafted for yourself in such small time is worth appreciating.
Your writing is like a energy booster which revitalizes us back to life.

Hi! Chetan,
Read 3. Was wonderful as usual. What makes you more adoreable is your language and style of writing. You are right when you say that writing is for expressing and not impressing and you have proved it again and again. 3 was better than One Night….. but Chetan, FPS was the best.I am really looking ahead for you to write something that will be better than FPS and i know you will definately do it someday. Maybe your next book? i desparetly want to get FPS out of my head. Hope you can help me do it. Shall surely let u know when i do. Eagerly waiting for your next book. And as for 3…… FANTASTIC.
Thank-u for making us smile.
Kusum

Sir,
I have just read 3mistakes of my life, and have already become a fan of yours the books is superb in terms of emotions,characters plot and story. I have read it for the 6th time now!!
hello chetan bhagat!
last night only i finished reading ur third book…. story is good in all prospects… but what disappointed me most is the theme u took…. bcoz most of the writes go for these themes and issues… and i always fell u r different from them…. rest is fine.
but my boyfriend liked it very much as he spended few years of his life in ahemdabad and he helped me to understand thoes places mentioned in the book.
best one of ur’s is FIVE POINT SOMEONE. I am waiting of another. thanx for such a nice novel.
regards,
parul
hiee chetan…
Ur 3 mistakes of life was really awesome i read it in a day..as i could no wait for it to end…wel..please write the books fast…coz this book came after a long time n in that time i hv read 5.point sum1 6 times n call center like 7 times n now i knw each chapter. Well..to be very true i cried in the end of 3 mistakes of my life when all the fights and all were going on..it was really touchy….and ofcourse ur charecters are very easy to relate to and the flow of the book also is awesome..keep writing coz ur the best!!!!!
Love ya loads!!!

Comment by Ridhima Chawda — June 9, 2008 @ 1:02 am
Well, before I read 3,I was reading only Hercule Poirot’s book’s.But,when I read it,it seem that I was watching a film.
Chetan,you are a master craftsman & fantastic reading your novel which consists of Business,Life,Dropouts,Romance & most important Hindu-Muslim Rivalry.The climax is classic & even though it was a sunday when I read the climax,I was so deep in the climax,I did not sleep in the afternoon (Sunday being only a day when we sleep in the afernoon).
Looking forward for ur 4 th book,which will take time,I suppose.
Thanks a load for your book .
Eagerly waiting for ur comments on my comments.
Thanks to your 3 books that lot of indian people started reading english. I am a big fan of good books of all kind. sure your books come in that too. I have already finished first two and third is half way through
I am waiting, when some Chetan Bhagat will born to write good books in Hindi as well, his own mother tounge and national language. I feel, after a golden period hindi literature is slowly dwelling in to the dark.
hey chetan, I love reading all your books.
I have one serous controversy with my bf regarding educated woman turning to house wife.
I want to know the profession of your wife, a student of IIM-A, a dream place on earth to study.
Hey Chetan,
I’ve read all ur 3 books. They r really nice and different from each other. Pls pls keep writing such cool books and quickly come up with your 4th book. I’ll b eagerly waitin for it.
hi cetan,you have superb writing style dont change that for the sake of those litreary persons because to me the purpose of language is to communicate properly and if you do it in the simplest language thats best.for ex.i m reading “midnight children” right now and i have to use the ‘oxford’ every third page and i found that many words which he use are easily avoidable.
so dont ever think of writing your fourth novel like a litreary one you may win some awards but loose a lot of readers in that.
Hey Chetan, Frankly haven’t read any of your books till now but will shortly be reading 3.
Just wanna know whether only female bloggers’ comments are published in your blog ??
hello sir,how are you?
i read your first book
it was my first novel
this is very nice,as like you i want to be ryan always
i also dream a life like this which i read in novel
i am also doing engg. with six point someone
but i miss the friends
Comment by gaurav taneja — June 11, 2008 @ 3:31 pm
ur books r just awesome and somthing more.ur writing style is exactly d same as we frinds speak.dont ever dare 2 change it.though in 3 d fight was litle dramatic but that is fully ok.after al in india every thing has some % of bolywood style in it.right?just go on.take care
hi sir, i m not sure from where u get such an mindblowing ideas of writing books. i think ur hands has the magic of creating lines. i just read one of ur book named the three mistakes of my life . when i bought it i just thought its a tmepass frm an indian writer but as i progressed in it my heart trembeled how wrong i was bout indian writers but surely sir u hve the magic . i respect the magic of urs. my eyes rained by the ending .u dont think as i m just writing, but im telling the truth. i think u r da saint conquoring the world(for the 1st time in da history of da world). i respect u sir . i m frm ARUNACHAL PRADESH the border place between india and china. iread this book there . i request u 2 come sometimes in da winter dere i think u kind of pol will certainly love . if u com dere i will b da luckiest person in dis whole world. just mail me if u ever want ur twins and my lovable bhabhi 2 visit for their winter vacations in A.P. . u know coming 2 A.P. needs inner line pass because of the bangladeshi refugees .dont u think they have hard luck.o.k. then if ever want my help just mail me BHAIYA. byeeeee. its ur bro RAHUL
Hello sir,
just few days back, i was a kind of person who didn’t had the patience even for an hour to sit and read a book. one day my friend suggested me 5point some one and once i started reading it, i just got so carried away that on the first day itself i read it for 2 hours. I have simply fallen in love with the character Ryan and wish him to be my boyfriend. now m very desperate to read the two other books also.
i was able to relate to the book so easily. i have born and brought up in Ahemdabad, and now studying in Delhi university. so a’bad is the place were u have spent some of your life and Delhi is the place were Ryan, Fatso and Hari have all the fun of life. lasty, keep up such good work. and will definitely go through your other two works.

hi chetan,
before reading your books i have never read any books.one night @ call centre is my first book that i have read and i like most that book then after i bought 3 mistake and i like also very much and noe i am going to buy you five point someone. i have completed my p.g. but i never read any book except these it is very interested and i am very much inspired form that so thanks for writting such books .. carry on… thank a lot again.
Hw r u? This is the first time I read ur book - The 3 mistakes of my life. Its awsome. i really liked ur book. I want to share something with u. I too did 3 mistakes in my life because of which my life become hell. I love someone but just because of my past and my mistakes m going to loose him. i thought he will not forgive me n i would loose him so i didn’t tell him anything but when I realised that i should not lie to him i told him aboutr my past and my mistakes. n the result is what i was thinking. our relation is going to break just coz i lied to him. I really love him. I dn’t know i could live without him or not. but i have to pay for what i had done……..the 3 mistakes of my life.
you are really a great writer. I wish u all the very best for your upcoming novels.
Hi Chetan ,i had great fun reading your first 2 books, especially the first one..too good.
The only reading i usually do is the bare minimum required to clear my medical exams
i find reading Novels to be too much effort and the only ones i have really read were those by Erich segal,coz i found ‘Doctors’ quite similar to our life
i read fps during a long boring train journey , coz i was not as lucky as you to get a F24 for company.
I could relate to lot of the stuff in fps, and lot of similar things happened in my medical school
but i feel one night at call centre did not match up to fps
looking forward to raj kumar hirani adaptation of fps
Hello chetan sir…first of all congratulations 4 ur third book….its just awesuuummm….
I hv read only two novels in my life…d first being one nite@call centre which ws fab…..excellent novel and dsecond one - ur latest ,third book…its also gr8888…its vvv different from the previous one and iot roxxx….
I hvnt read FPS till now bt will be getting it by next week from my frnd and i m dying to read dat nw…
U r amazing….ur language is superb….i mustsay thisdat wen i read ur books,it felt dat i ws seeing dem thru my eyes….ur way of writing is superb . i wish u best of luck 4 urfuture and hopedat u will be giving us many happy moments in d future too….
I am not a hardcore reader, the last book I read was Angels and Demons (Dan Brown), I enjoyed it - Reason: I completed the book in 8 days odd. But ‘3 mistakes’ took the lead, read it within a day and a half. Great work, fast paced got all the elements to entertain and above all, totally Indian.
Hats off to you!!!
P.s.: am in hurry otherwise could have praised you more!!!
dear chetan
hi…i’m a student frm welham girl’s skl…dehradun….i need to take a kind of intarview of a writer…i plan to do this project on you ….i need your help….please could you answer a few questions for me…..if yes…pls reply on the above id….thank you .
Hi chetan …I am a software engineer working in microsoft and a die hard rock fan and of cource your fan too . I have read all your three books …i would like to request you to write a book about young generation of india who struggle hard to learn western music and their struggle to form a band ….about their passion for music and ups and downs of their lifes ..coz getting recognition in music is tough in India ..I mean western music.Please give a thought .
Cheers
Subhajit.
hello sir….
reading is my passion…n b4 i came across FPS … i had read only non-indian authors… n when i read FPs…. it clicked to my mind that what i have been reading upto now was friction or dreams.. n now what u have given by “FPS” or “1 night at call center” is reality of indian youth… it touches to our lieves in soem way.. now i just heard @ third book … n i was so happy that cnt explain… PLS KEEP ON WRITING … WE EAGERLY WAIT FOR UR WRITINGS N BOOKS…
Comment by Bhumika Shah — June 20, 2008 @ 12:00 pm
Well!! Well!!
Three interesting books, one after another. I am on the second one.. “One night at call centre”, I finished the 3rd one first … I work a software company and I able to relate my self somewhat with you people you write about in “One night at call centre” … may be your next book could be life of a software engineer whose life itself is become more like “bug”, I name them “Human Bugs”.
Anyways, thanks for giving out such good books but just before I end wanted to ask you something. It seems you love this sentence “Unhooked her b*”!! You have used this in all three books! Your comment?
hello chetan…. i m a very big fan of yours,,,thanks for giving such nice books,,,, i really liked
the two books thought i havent read the third one,,, i liked 1 night @ call center but i thought FPS
was the best,,,,,, because its about your own life,,,, and i am really interested in knowing more about ryan…………. who is he??????
Dear Chetan
Hello,
I have read your 2 books, One night @ call center n 3 mistakes of my life. They both r nice. no no good, no no they r great.
well actually i don’t read books but ur style forced me. i think that u have got our nerves. i searched for ur 1st book(Five point someone) but was unable to get it. hope so will get it in one or the other store. they say its out of stock. well that tells the story of your sucess. I don’t hope that u will reply but if u did it will be rocking………
keep writing.
Hello sir this is Prachi…completed reading your 3rd book just 4 hrs. back..i just wanted to tell you that this one is the best of all(not comparing content wise as you had asked not to compare)…
Frankly speaking I was not much into any of the three pillars the book is about but I could still relate to each one of it n that too nicely…..thanks to your xceptional writing skills..
At last ther is an indian author who understands not only Indian youth but also the effect
sir…plese tell me more about this book…….i m fan of ur books

Hy Chetan, Its really a big deal to write such awesome stories. I am a big fan of yours. Generally I don’t read novels, I hated them to the core. But after reading fivepoint someone I actually started reading novels. But yes I read only yours. You are doing a good job. Your way of presentation, language used, interesting plots, cool characters n yes a good message given by the story. I really love your writing skills. I just pray that you keep writing more books in the future too. Bye.
GOD BLESS !!

Hi Chetan,
Just wondering why Chennai is not included in the launch itinerary, considering how 5 point someone does so well as a play too each time it is staged here…?!
And all the best for 3.

Hi Chetan…[:)]
starting from the bottom line…. YOU n YOUR work has inspired me to a great deal… after reading your books i actually discovered myself… and realised that the past is gone and then i mirrored myself and discovered the true bliss within me and realised that the time is to move on…and came to know the people who had actually stolen my energy…after analising all this… FINALLY I HAVE STARTED OFF LOVING MYSELF….
I am a girl who really wish to explore myself… and want to think beyond my thoughts even… YOU AND YOUR WORK has actually helped me out TO DISCOVER MYSELF….
Eagerly waiting for YOUR third work which will again help me… and frame me….
Thank you so much Chetan… [:)]

Hi Chetan,my name’s Akshay(New Delhi)…1st of all…ALL THE BEST 4 ur Next Book…
Lemme kick off by sayin tht u r absolutely brilliant @ connecting with the Youth(Indian 2 b precise). Your style of writing is pretty awesum,2 say the least. I was an avid & enthusiastic reader of both of ur earlier books - Five Point Someone & One Night @ The Call-Center(I bought 2 copies each,of both). Since i’m a 21 yr. old guy,working in Convergys - Gurgaon(Call-Center),i could actually connect with the books on more of a personal basis. I’m really awaitin the Movie “Hello” based on ur book & ur third book - The 3 Mistakes Of My Life. Actually 2 tell u the truth,i already went ahead & advance booked it,still i’ll try & b at the Book Launch(@ Gurgaon).
Would luv 2 get 2 meet u…
neways…again…ALL THE BEST !!!
Bye.

Hey Chetan,
This is the first time m writing to an author……tat too of 2 extremely well-written
books.to be frank….books were never associated with me……me n books are like 2
extremes. but the first book i read One nyt @ Call Centre (due to peer pressure)n njoid
it thoroughly……i was so engrossed in the book that i finished it in a days time.
Its hard for a fresher into reading to finish a novel is such a pace. neways this novel
lead me to the curiousity to read the other one as well…..n it rocked as well. n since
then m waiting for the 3rd book. Read the excerpts……..n its build a lotta curiousity.
i will miss the launch…..but i feel wat matters is that i read the book…..m definatley
sure that i will meet u for sure….atleast once…..cos the only thing i wanna know tat
wat is it that makes u write in such a simple way….that directly hits the heart. i mean
no author has ever impressed me much. though i hv read on a 4-5 books….that includes 2
of ur books.

Chetan,
I happened to read your last two books by fluke but now am happy that i did. I am one fourth through with your 3rd book and the way you have crossed the mistake on your cover page gives a deep insight to your creative pscyche.As a student neither did i like maths like your pals Omi & Ish.Your content catches my attention for your simple and neat language and transports me to the world which you have penned down.Continue the good work of writing your past life so vividly.Good luck!

Comment by Nitin Chopra — May 11, 2008 @ 10:13 pm
i never read any novels in my life yet….but a suggested by my frnd, i took d initiative to read “one night at call center”..dis book was too gud n provided me help at point i really needed it…then i read “5 pt. some1″ it was gud too….asusual d third book also came out gud covering new concepts…kwel i have a suggestion….i have relatives who is very excieted to read ur book but they have a problem wid english….i.e they dnt understand english….so if possible publish d books in hindi as ur an indian writer n majority of ppl in india knows hindi much rather than englihsh…
hopefully u reply me…tc…love ya writings..keep it up…!!{dnt take much time to release ur next novel..as u released ur 3rd novel after 5yrs b4 d last one}

Hi, Chetan
I picked your new Book book first time to read though read review of other two books.
Liked the way you have written and after long long time a book made me awake all night to read.
Thanks for touching emotional cords !!

Comment by rajesh — May 13, 2008 @ 9:08 pm
Dear Mr Bhagat
Have read the first two book of yours and am really looking forward for this one as well.
I know you do not remember me but when you used to travel from HongKong to Kolkata you used to stay with us at Thoe Oberoi Grand. Luckily, I was always there whenever you used to check-in around 12:30-1:30am. You gifted me One Night at Call Centre in one of your visit, which i still hold as my biggest possesion.
My team mates were jealous of me. You should consider yourself as very lucky coz people in todays world are taking some time out just to thank you.
Keep writing so that we keep reading.

Comment by hema — May 14, 2008 @ 11:00 pm
Hello Mr. Bhagat
I read ur latest novel and like the others you havent let down.i loved it..!The best part about ur novels is the fact that they are so easy to read.Anyone can read.And there is never a dull moment.I love your writing style, your way with words and analogies..simple,expressive and witty.
I really appreaciate the effortless amalgamation of matters of social relevance(politics in religion, politics in sports,politics in politics)with an easy-flowing plot.Its important for youngsters our age to be sensitive to social issues and authors like you who when write with a social purpose do make a helluva difference.
Besides i loove the fact that you take the reader in media res..into the heart of events from the very beginning which makes you wanna finish the novel in a go!
Thanks for being!U rock!!

Comment by Navjyot — May 15, 2008 @ 7:57 pm
Hi,
Read One night at Call-center thrice. I missed the launch of your new book on 8th May in Mumbai.
I received a link the otherday from a friend of mine to read the excerpt of your new book. It surely has a motivating factor to keep you hooked on it, but the way it starts on an impulsive sucidal note is quite resembling. Its not just business, love, life that provokes someone for a dreaded act, it is something called destiny. Your destiny could be an attempt to die but your still gazing at the hospital ceiling wondering-Are you dead yet?
Some are non-suicidal but cant help their nature of Not giving-up, under ANY circumstances…like me!

Hi Chetan!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic book…… I actually wanted to attend your launch on 8th may’08, but couldn’t coz of office timings. Have completed reading the book….. its really nice…very practical. The way u started with tht suicide note…tht was a good start.
Specially the other 2 books of urs were soooo good tht while reading i was relating myself to some of the characters. Waiting 4 u to write some more novel’s. Have you started any new one.
To be very frank….i never used to read books till date….. but started reading novel’s coz of ur 1st book.
Comment by Shubha — May 16, 2008 @ 7:18 pm
Dear Sir
5 point someone was the first book i read(by Indian Author), and i must say that directed me toward the wonderful world of books, i believe lot more ppl have been inspired by your 2 creations since than(3rd making a lot of buzz), the best thing being, Indian Writers can write good entertaining books keeping aside the Melodrama and Misery that generally is the main content otherwise, your publishers remain my fav as i can afford the original version. What u said about makin India read would certainly help our country in more than one way.
Your Admirer and Fan

Comment by Ruchi Saini — May 18, 2008 @ 9:14 pm
hi chetan,
Just read your third one “The 3 Mistakes of My life”. I had taken it from Mumbai airport enroute to Delhi. My flight ghot delayed and delayed but mind you those 6 Hrs as a whole I hadnt felt bored for single time by reding this one.
It was a fantastic work of yours Chetan. I have a doubt in my mind if you have written whole of the content by yourself since it requires a lot of research and amalgamation of such events periodically whiich actually occurred to the fictional story is really a gr8 but would have been a herculian task. Yur dpiction was as solid as in the previous 2. And th protagnist comes from a small family and the depiction of their environmnt is quit fantastiic, it really takes a lot of courage to wite on a bit controversial matters like communalism n all. 3 mistakes woul;d definately be a milestone and bigger success. Another feather in your Cap chetan. Hope u must b weaving another story in your laptop for now. Chao!!!!

Hi Chetan,
Its fantastic to see you at such a hight. Wish I had known you during school days. I am sure I have talked to you as we both studied from 1978 - 1991 in TAPS but somehow not able to recall.
You are a good writer. Did you read any books of Abha ? I am in touch with her too.
All the best

Comment by Prabodh Goel — May 19, 2008 @ 1:11 am
hello sir,
first of all i must congratulate u on writing such an entertaining book.u keep raising d bar higher n higher.u hv def. carved a place fr urself in d writing world…d emotion,d suspence,d youthful appeal n d love fr country is quite well mixed in ur stories.
wat really sets ur book apart from every other writer(i know u dont compete wid anyone) is that–for instance when i read someone like sidney sheldon, i always think that this story is nt where i can fit myself, maybe its set for one in thousands but reading ur books it strikes that dis person could’ve been me…i mean d appeal ur book has for us 18 yr lads is amazing n thats perhaps why u r really a big success among d youth of india…u appeal to us n d way u write ur books really attracts us like anything….i for instance got really absorbed in ur book when i read it…just couldnt keep it down.
well…all d best to u…n hope u keep delivering us fantastic books like 3 mistakes again n again.

Dear Chetan,
Firstly, Congratulations on the success of ‘3′.I have read all three book of urs n everytime you just amaze me by writing such wonderful books, that grab my interest…All your books help me relate myself to the events given in your books… You turn non-readers into readers..For instance..my bro is totally not into reading but after reading your first book, he is a total freak for all ur books. You always raise our expectations.I am just waiting to see the films based on all of these books. I have completed all your books in a days time and wonder why does it get over so soon, feel like just going on reading it… It is said that “Books are individuals best friend” Thank you for giving me these wonderful gifts!!!
Regards,
Kets
Comment by Ketki Thakkar — May 20, 2008 @ 2:34 pm
Hi Chetan,
Firstly CONGRATULATIONS [:)]. Once again you had done a wonderful job as a ‘writer’. I read your 3rd book last Sunday coincidently its title too has the “3″ in it :). No doubt, its an ‘Impeccable work’. You have matured as a writer now Hari, Shyam Mehra and now Govind. Hari is not at all reflected in Govind. But personally I still like Hari a lot may be because I belong to Delhi, trying to do what other’s had never done is culture of Delhi.
‘3′ is a good book and will be a huge success beacause Govind has been a victim of circumstances, but he has never surrendered always faught with them. And that why life given him ample oppurtunities. This is really a good lesson to the people who think that the road ends after something bad happens.
Oops, I forgot to mention I have the copies of your all 3 books as a part of my small Library. I was eagerly waiting for this since the time I heard that you are writing your 3rd book. It has been a pleasure that someone writes so good.
I know you have a tremendous fan following. I am also a huge fan of your and just love the way you write. Did you notice I also used the bullet points just like Govind :). Do reply.
Take Care & Keep up the good work

Hi Chetan ,
Again Touching the sentiments of the youth with the diversified and a right mix of Friendship , religion and the Hot Pie Cake ‘ cricket ‘. I just Finished the Book yesterday and truly saying your characters live a life as we move through the Book , as we close our eyes we could really imagine the characters and relate events with them. Great Stuff Chetan really .
Can I ask a question ,
– What happened to Ali then …… u left us to think in many ways , did he made it in some Australian Team or so ?
– Where you think is the Indian Politics is heading and as a young professional How can One Contribute ?
– What you think about the reservation Issue ?
– Is the Story inspired from a real character or its ur Imaginative creation ?
– What was your inspiration behind the book ?
Well seems I sound more like a Press Guy , Sorry for that its all out of curiosity . Kindly reply .
Regards ,

HI Chetan,
I read your book The 3 mistkes(Completed yesterday actually), I really liked the theme, as I had a very little clue abt what had happened in Gujrat at that time. The last few pages of the bok kept haunting me all night and couldn’t sleep at all. My wife is a big fan of you and has read all your books(including 3 mistakes), she liked the book aswell.
So here we go… 3 cheers for Chetan!!
A neat book

Hello sir!!
I read ur buk!! It was fun reading it!! liked it!! But sir..DONT U THINK U HAV TAKEN A SENSITIVE TOPIC?? The topic created controversies earlier which died after many attempts and can again create some..! But best of luck!! I hope no contoversies happen this time !! Sir…this is one serious suggestions to u from many of us…WE ENJOY READING UR BUKS BCOZ THEY ARE LIGHT BUKS…DONT WRITE ON SUCH HEAVY TOPICS! I had personally experienced riots…this buk made me think of them again!!

Hi Chetan,
CONGRAGULATIONS!!
I should have written this post approximately 6 hours earlier when finished reading your new book by 4am in the morning, yesterday.
Generally, I like reading 2-4 pages at a time. However, yesterday I could just put down the book.
Congragulations!! You seem to have felt the pulse of Indian book readers. Apt price of the book, wonderful yet simple language and great story contents.
I think I had felt the same feeling after I read Five Point Someone, some years ago(I was a fresh engineering graduate at that time and the book made me more nostalgic).
Though honestly, I liked 5 point and 3 mistakes better than 1 night.
Pls keep up the good work and be rest assured that as a small fan of yours, I would encourage/ convince/ insist my colleagues & friends buy a copy of your new book, though I already have many pending requests from friends who has already asked me to share the book (when they knew I had placed an online-order for the book).This only proves that you have a huge fan following.
Love your writing.
-Debo

hey chetan!!
congratulations for ur new book!!
the 3 mistakes of my life really elevated my mood…the best part ab ur books is tht we as readers can really feel the nexus between the characters in ur novels and our real self,i think in a very subtle and charming manner have u brought up the issues concerning the indian students….their fears ,their dreams to earn big money,their sense of responsibilities …i mean i could feel the urge of achieving success just like govind did.
i cried at the end of the story..it touched my heart, n i was happy tht it ended on a happy note…i like happy endings..lol…n i am eagerly waiting for ur next book now!!
regards

hi chetan…congratulations!ur 3rd book was simply fantastic.the characters all seemed so real ‘n believable! i really liked it…though i do wish u wud hav given a physical description of the 3 main characters!
well…other than that i dont have much to complain abt. of the 3 books i liked ‘five point someone’ best…probably coz it was a really inspiring read..already looking forward to ur next book!

you are like god for me in putting on a story to make readers starve to read more of your stories..
Comment by suhas — May 27, 2008 @ 3:37 am
Hey,
Just cdnt took my eyes off the book before finishing it…But its much more complicated this time..u have taken a potshot against some specific religious fundamentalists ..Its no more go getter story like the previous ones…Though i hope u won’t face any negative vibes from such political people..Brave enough to do this!!!Just wanted to know..how much in it is real..And what’s next??Just heard Raju heerani denying things related to Idiots that its based on your novel…How about that?Just wish u release books every month..
Comment by sushovan — May 27, 2008 @ 3:53 pm
Hi Chetan,
I just love ur writing style..I read One nite & 3 mistakes…I found both the books very interesting…really…just few questions keep poping in my mind…if u could pls took ur some time to clear…I would be really thankful to u..here u go…
Regarding both the books, is the stories are TRUE…I mean did u really met such a beautiful girl in train & got that weird email from Govind…I mean I found it really strange & dramatic…
Finally apart from all the exceptions I loved both the books…I worked in a BPO for 3 years & right now working in a KPO since last 2 years & can really identify myself with ur charectors…
Keep rocking…n m dying to read ur next book…till then I will read ur current books again n again n again…cheers!!!!

The flow of language is great, the way the entire topic is dealt is phenomenal.
It become very easy for readers to visualize whatever you are trying to convey.
kudos ….keep up your good work
waiting for your fourth book…..and…..the movie Hello.!!
I have seen the teaser of it at the launch of your third book. It looked very good..!!!!
The place which you have crafted for yourself in such small time is worth appreciating.
Your writing is like a energy booster which revitalizes us back to life.

Comment by Aviansh Pinjarkar — June 6, 2008 @ 3:15 pm
Hi! Chetan,
Read 3. Was wonderful as usual. What makes you more adoreable is your language and style of writing. You are right when you say that writing is for expressing and not impressing and you have proved it again and again. 3 was better than One Night….. but Chetan, FPS was the best.I am really looking ahead for you to write something that will be better than FPS and i know you will definately do it someday. Maybe your next book? i desparetly want to get FPS out of my head. Hope you can help me do it. Shall surely let u know when i do. Eagerly waiting for your next book. And as for 3…… FANTASTIC.
Thank-u for making us smile.

Comment by Roshni — June 8, 2008 @ 5:13 pm
hello chetan bhagat!
last night only i finished reading ur third book…. story is good in all prospects… but what disappointed me most is the theme u took…. bcoz most of the writes go for these themes and issues… and i always fell u r different from them…. rest is fine.
but my boyfriend liked it very much as he spended few years of his life in ahemdabad and he helped me to understand thoes places mentioned in the book.
best one of ur’s is FIVE POINT SOMEONE. I am waiting of another. thanx for such a nice novel.

Comment by Ridhima Chawda — June 9, 2008 @ 1:02 am
Well, before I read 3,I was reading only Hercule Poirot’s book’s.But,when I read it,it seem that I was watching a film.
Chetan,you are a master craftsman & fantastic reading your novel which consists of Business,Life,Dropouts,Romance & most important Hindu-Muslim Rivalry.The climax is classic & even though it was a sunday when I read the climax,I was so deep in the climax,I did not sleep in the afternoon (Sunday being only a day when we sleep in the afernoon).
Looking forward for ur 4 th book,which will take time,I suppose.
Thanks a load for your book .
Eagerly waiting for ur comments on my comments.
Comment by Charudatta — June 9, 2008 @ 2:06 pm
Dear Bhagat Ji,
Thanks to your 3 books that lot of indian people started reading english. I am a big fan of good books of all kind. sure your books come in that too. I have already finished first two and third is half way through
I am waiting, when some Chetan Bhagat will born to write good books in Hindi as well, his own mother tounge and national language. I feel, after a golden period hindi literature is slowly dwelling in to the dark.
Keep writing……
Yours Sandeep
Comment by Sandeep — June 9, 2008 @ 7:50 pm
hey chetan, I love reading all your books.
I have one serous controversy with my bf regarding educated woman turning to house wife.
I want to know the profession of your wife, a student of IIM-A, a dream place on earth to study.
plz reply me.
Comment by Prachi — June 10, 2008 @ 3:13 am
Hey Chetan,
I’ve read all ur 3 books. They r really nice and different from each other. Pls pls keep writing such cool books and quickly come up with your 4th book. I’ll b eagerly waitin for it.
If possible, do reply me
Comment by Romana — June 10, 2008 @ 1:21 pm
hi cetan,you have superb writing style dont change that for the sake of those litreary persons because to me the purpose of language is to communicate properly and if you do it in the simplest language thats best.for ex.i m reading “midnight children” right now and i have to use the ‘oxford’ every third page and i found that many words which he use are easily avoidable.
so dont ever think of writing your fourth novel like a litreary one you may win some awards but loose a lot of readers in that.
Comment by nicket — June 10, 2008 @ 5:16 pm
Hey Chetan, Frankly haven’t read any of your books till now but will shortly be reading 3.
Just wanna know whether only female bloggers’ comments are published in your blog ??

Comment by rimi — June 11, 2008 @ 3:36 pm
hi sir, i m not sure from where u get such an mindblowing ideas of writing books. i think ur hands has the magic of creating lines. i just read one of ur book named the three mistakes of my life . when i bought it i just thought its a tmepass frm an indian writer but as i progressed in it my heart trembeled how wrong i was bout indian writers but surely sir u hve the magic . i respect the magic of urs. my eyes rained by the ending .u dont think as i m just writing, but im telling the truth. i think u r da saint conquoring the world(for the 1st time in da history of da world). i respect u sir . i m frm ARUNACHAL PRADESH the border place between india and china. iread this book there . i request u 2 come sometimes in da winter dere i think u kind of pol will certainly love . if u com dere i will b da luckiest person in dis whole world. just mail me if u ever want ur twins and my lovable bhabhi 2 visit for their winter vacations in A.P. . u know coming 2 A.P. needs inner line pass because of the bangladeshi refugees .dont u think they have hard luck.o.k. then if ever want my help just mail me BHAIYA. byeeeee. its ur bro RAHUL
Comment by rahul — June 11, 2008 @ 10:33 pm
PLS READ THE ABOVE ONE SURELY
Comment by rahul — June 11, 2008 @ 10:35 pm
Hello sir,
just few days back, i was a kind of person who didn’t had the patience even for an hour to sit and read a book. one day my friend suggested me 5point some one and once i started reading it, i just got so carried away that on the first day itself i read it for 2 hours. I have simply fallen in love with the character Ryan and wish him to be my boyfriend. now m very desperate to read the two other books also.
i was able to relate to the book so easily. i have born and brought up in Ahemdabad, and now studying in Delhi university. so a’bad is the place were u have spent some of your life and Delhi is the place were Ryan, Fatso and Hari have all the fun of life. lasty, keep up such good work. and will definitely go through your other two works.

Hi Chetan!
Hw r u? This is the first time I read ur book - The 3 mistakes of my life. Its awsome. i really liked ur book. I want to share something with u. I too did 3 mistakes in my life because of which my life become hell. I love someone but just because of my past and my mistakes m going to loose him. i thought he will not forgive me n i would loose him so i didn’t tell him anything but when I realised that i should not lie to him i told him aboutr my past and my mistakes. n the result is what i was thinking. our relation is going to break just coz i lied to him. I really love him. I dn’t know i could live without him or not. but i have to pay for what i had done……..the 3 mistakes of my life.
you are really a great writer. I wish u all the very best for your upcoming novels.
All the best
Tk cr….

Hi Chetan ,i had great fun reading your first 2 books, especially the first one..too good.
The only reading i usually do is the bare minimum required to clear my medical exams
i find reading Novels to be too much effort and the only ones i have really read were those by Erich segal,coz i found ‘Doctors’ quite similar to our life
i read fps during a long boring train journey , coz i was not as lucky as you to get a F24 for company.
I could relate to lot of the stuff in fps, and lot of similar things happened in my medical school
but i feel one night at call centre did not match up to fps
looking forward to raj kumar hirani adaptation of fps

Hey Chetan,
I am not a hardcore reader, the last book I read was Angels and Demons (Dan Brown), I enjoyed it - Reason: I completed the book in 8 days odd. But ‘3 mistakes’ took the lead, read it within a day and a half. Great work, fast paced got all the elements to entertain and above all, totally Indian.
Hats off to you!!!
P.s.: am in hurry otherwise could have praised you more!!!

Hi chetan …I am a software engineer working in microsoft and a die hard rock fan and of cource your fan too . I have read all your three books …i would like to request you to write a book about young generation of india who struggle hard to learn western music and their struggle to form a band ….about their passion for music and ups and downs of their lifes ..coz getting recognition in music is tough in India ..I mean western music.Please give a thought .
Cheers
Subhajit.

hello sir….
reading is my passion…n b4 i came across FPS … i had read only non-indian authors… n when i read FPs…. it clicked to my mind that what i have been reading upto now was friction or dreams.. n now what u have given by “FPS” or “1 night at call center” is reality of indian youth… it touches to our lieves in soem way.. now i just heard @ third book … n i was so happy that cnt explain… PLS KEEP ON WRITING … WE EAGERLY WAIT FOR UR WRITINGS N BOOKS…

Well!! Well!!
Three interesting books, one after another. I am on the second one.. “One night at call centre”, I finished the 3rd one first … I work a software company and I able to relate my self somewhat with you people you write about in “One night at call centre” … may be your next book could be life of a software engineer whose life itself is become more like “bug”, I name them “Human Bugs”.
Anyways, thanks for giving out such good books but just before I end wanted to ask you something. It seems you love this sentence “Unhooked her b*”!! You have used this in all three books! Your comment?
Cheers

Dear Chetan
Hello,
I have read your 2 books, One night @ call center n 3 mistakes of my life. They both r nice. no no good, no no they r great.
well actually i don’t read books but ur style forced me. i think that u have got our nerves. i searched for ur 1st book(Five point someone) but was unable to get it. hope so will get it in one or the other store. they say its out of stock. well that tells the story of your sucess. I don’t hope that u will reply but if u did it will be rocking………
keep writing.
Luv
Arpit

Hello sir this is Prachi…completed reading your 3rd book just 4 hrs. back..i just wanted to tell you that this one is the best of all(not comparing content wise as you had asked not to compare)…
Frankly speaking I was not much into any of the three pillars the book is about but I could still relate to each one of it n that too nicely…..thanks to your xceptional writing skills..
At last ther is an indian author who understands not only Indian youth but also the effect
