About the Book: One Night @ the Call Center

From the best-selling Author of Five Point Someone, the now famous story that launched Chetan Bhagat's career and set down the experiences of a generation for posterity

In winter 2004, a writer meets a girl in the course of an overnight train journey. Whiling away the hours, she offers to narrate a story for him. There is one condition: he must make it into Book 2.

The story goes as follows. It is the noughties in India and six friends spend all night marketing home appliances to the US-from a call centre in India. Each of them has some kind of problem on the love front.

Sam has to sit beside the woman who just threw him over; and he is seeing someone who repels him - just to get over his ex. Esha is falling a little short of becoming a model - two inches, to be precise. Vroom is looking to change the world. Radikha is attempting to manage her mother-in-law and keep this job.

It's Thanksgiving in America, and customers are tying up the lines to complain about merchandise. But when this band of young people thinks it's going to be a long, slow night, a very special caller gets on the line-from another dimension.

The story of what happens, over the span of a single night, makes up this landmark popular Indian classic.
