Chetan’s latest bestseller

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Make no mistake about it, Chetan Bhagat is churning out bestsellers regularly. This banker who is also the largest selling novelist in India, has hit the right note with the young Indian and he has a hat trick of successes to prove that point.

Chetan has not allowed the adulation of millions to go to his head. He is charming and unassuming, a deadly combination. Please click here to read my interview with Chetan, and my review of his latest book, The 3 Mistakes of my Life. I had interviewed Chetan earlier, and reviewed his book One Night@the Call Center.

A Prisoner of Birth

that I had a long night ahead of him. I have read all his books, and that fact that they are in the 400-page range is never a deterrent. Please click here to read my review of this book. In my next post, on Monday, I will tell you about an Indian who is churning bestsellers in numbers too big to ignore.
