Itz All About – Chetan Bhagat – 2
Index of all posts on Chetan Bhagat
He gives good justification for the
titles, cover designs too.
– The cover design of Five Point Someone has
- 3 Gears representing Alok, Ryan, Hari.
- One Flower Neha
- Friendship quotes laced on the cover.
- White background indicating the lighter mode on which the book is written to read.
– Titled – 3 (The 3 Mistakes Of My Life0
- This is his third book.
- It is a story of 3 Guys.
- Protagonist makes 3 Mistakes.
- Book has three themes – Business, Cricket, Religion.
- 3 Resembles ‘Aum’ which is one of the themes of the book.
- 3 When written in ‘Roman’ resembles wickets in Cricket.
– Telugu BlockBuster Movie ‘Happy Days’ falls a lot short of the kick that FPS gives. If the story of ‘Happy Days’ could become such a big success then if ‘FPS’ must be a much bigger hit.

There are some mindboggling questions among many readers which are still unanswered by Chetan. Some of them are:
FPS:
- Are the characters ‘Ryan, Hari, Alok’ real ?
- Is Chetan, Hari ?
- How is Chetan related to Neha in his real life ?
She can’t be Anusha becoz, Chetan met her after his IIT life.
- What is Neha doing now ?
ON@TCC:
- Who is the girl that narrates the story ?
- Who is behind the Call from the God sequence in the story ?
If it is a fairy tale how would you justify that in a realistic Call center life ?
3:
- How come SMSing popular in 2000 when the mobile revolution started in 2001 ?
– He is regarded as the ‘Best Selling English Author in India’s History’
– He is very humble in accepting that people showered much love than what he deserves and he is grateful towards them.
– Many readers are able to complete his books in one session. That depicts the ease in reading.
– All the books are priced very low at less than 100 Rupees. Probably this is one of the reasons many prefer owning one, instead of searching for an e-book. Its a big suprrise on how Chetan handled piracy. Probably theres no single online version of the book.
–
Chetan has good support from his friends. He puts lots of their characterizations in his works.
– He says that he can identify himself with Hari @ FPS as a 15 Kgs Overweight person in college.
– He took 3 and half years to finish FPS. He used to write 45 mins in morning before going to work. He used to spend longer time on weekends and while traveling.
– His words for young aspiring writers:
Learn the art as much as possible. Read, find a mentor, meet people…etc. Keep writing and get feedback. Writing small articles might be a good start. See what you could do better. Write from your heart.
Your personal style matters a lot. Be patient. Rejections, editing, critics are very painful things which have to be faced that transform you into a good writer. Live through it – though its not easy.
–
He has decided to read 20 books before he steps into his next book.
–
FPS is being enacted as a play by some Chennai Guys. It was a roaring success in Hyderabad too.

If someone asks him, is FPS only for IITians, ON@TCC only for Call Center people…??? he immediately answers by saying:
No..no they are universal. Just as in the Titanic movie, you need not travel in the ship to experience it !!!
