One Night @ the Call Center

After years had a chance to visit Landmark at Nungabakkam-Chennai, somehow felt few similarities with Barnes and Noble stores. My intention of going to Landmark was different but got disturbed after seeing the clouds of books. Took few English and Tamil books for my office travel :) One of them was "One Night @ the Call Center" written by Chetan Bhagat and started reading it right next day keeping aside the half completed "Small is the New Big". The story was OK OK type and you will feel at the end why things are bragged. We have seen movies where for a good climax the whole screen play would be dragged to fit in and one such recent example is Kuselan. "One Night @ the Call Center" had a good start then the usual masala/routine additions and ended with puzzled climax confusing us to think whether this book is of true story or fiction or mixture. I can see a pattern in the story line with "Five Point Someone" and "One Night @ the Call Center". I have got "The Three Mistakes of My Life" as well and if the same formula matches then that will be my end to read Chetan Bhagat books. In Tamil if you ask me I will describe his novels like this "Hero oruthan irupane, Avan ethavathu pannanum aana ennanu theriyama irupane, Avan oru ponna love pannuvane, antha ponnu kitta konjam deepa povane, apurum pirinchiruvane, aprum avannuku Rajini padthula vara madhiri sudena heroism varume, aprum ellam subhame, lovera kai pidipane...". There were few titters which you experience in "Five Point Someone" but here I didn't a penny. The speech of "G" is like a self help book notes and nothing much. Mr.Chetta if "The Three Mistakes of My Life" is similar then I will say Tata to you!
