Review of "One night in a call centre"

Reading Chetan Bhagat is always interesting. Thanks to my wife who gave me this novel. It was second time I was reading Chetan Bhagat. I had already read “Five point someone” by the same author. Reading five point someone was interesting but many of the plots resembled the movie “Three Idiots” so it was placid somewhere. The joy of reading chetan Bhagat is that his choice of words are so simple that it keeps you glued to the book. One of the things that I most enjoyed while reading “One night in call center” is that it is very simple and teh words are easy to understand. The communication used in the book is based on day to day communication style and the characters are live. While reading the book it feels like all the characters are people around us.

One night in a call center is a story of Shyam, Priyanka, Vroom, Esha and Radhika. They all work in a call center and represent the young generation of today. Shyam and Priyanka were once in love but now they both are Seperated and Priyanka is now about to marry Ganesh an employee in Microsoft. Vroom and Esha are close friends. Vroom proposes Esha but she rejects his proposal and she is aspiring to be a model. And Radhika is a typical modern Indian daughter in law who has to fulfill the demands of her in laws and has to work in office as well. This is the gyst of the novel but writer has intertwined these stories in a lovely and interesting way and had presented it in a beautiful manner.

The book shows the story of the current young generation people and how they perceive the relationships and love. And also the book has shown the changes the “Call centers” has brought in the young generations of India.
