Chetan Bhagat


Chetan Bhagat (born 22 April 1974) is an Indian English language author. He is the author of three bestsellers: Five Point Someone - What not to do at IIT , One Night @ the Call Center ,The Three Mistakes of My Life. I personally feel that though his books are no classics but they are good for a one time read. He is more of a youth writer and all of his novels are based on Indian youth. His books are in a very simple language with pretty normal stories yet they have very concrete messages embedded in them for young people. The main reason behind his stupendous success is that he is one of his kind because it is hard to find an Indian writer who is writing such simple stories about characters we come across in our daily lives and I believe that many of us are able to relate to some of his characters. Moreover his stories have something for each of us like in five point someone I was able to understand the problems faced by the protagonists because I myself was facing the same kind of problems in my college. He ventures into every problem we come across in our daily lives like peer pressure etc etc. Now some of his famous works are posted below along with the links to download them.

Five Point Someone - What not to do at IIT

His first book, Five Point Someone - What not to do at IIT (May 2004) is a novel about three boys who join IIT Delhi and try to cope with the notoriously heavy workload of the institute. This book has continued to stay on the India Today bestseller list ever since its publication (190 weeks in January 2008). It won him the Society Young Achiever's award in 2004 and the Publisher's Recognition award in 2005. Rajkumar Hirani in his new film is taking the script of Five Point Someone with Aamir Khan in the lead role. This is my favorite and his best selling book among the three. In fact it is one of the highest selling English novels published in India, and remained on the bestseller list until 2007 since its release in 2004.
