One Night At The Call Center

Press 1 for technical support.
Press 2 for broken hearts.
Press 3 if your life has totally crashed. . . .

Six friends work nights at a call center in India, providing technical support for a major U.S. appliance corporation. Skilled in patience-and accent management-they help American consumers keep their lives running. Yet behind the headsets, everybody's heart is on the line.

Shyam (Sam to his callers) has lost his self-confidence after being dumped by the girl who just so happens to be sitting next to him. Priyanka's domineering mother has arranged for her daughter's upscale marriage to an Indian man in Seattle. Esha longs to be a model but discovers it's a horizontal romp to the runway. Lost, dissatisfied Vroom has high ideals, but compromises them by talking on the phone to idiots each night. Traditional Radhika has just found out that her husband is sleeping with his secretary. And Military Uncle (nobody knows his real name) sits alone working the online chat.

They all try to make it through their shifts-and maintain their sanity-under the eagle eye of a boss whose ego rivals his incompetence. But tonight is no ordinary night. Tonight is Thanksgiving in America: Appliances are going haywire, and the phones are ringing off their hooks. Then one call, from one very special caller, changes everything.

Chetan Bhagat's delicious romantic comedy takes us inside the world of the international call center, where cultural cross-wires come together with perfect pathos, hilarity, and spice.

one night at the call centre is really a very good story by chetanji...

Pleazzzzz stop writing books . Its an harrasment . Reading your book is a total torcher. Who the hell told u that ur a good writer. Do read some old books and compare ur writing . Its the same old shit .

I have been listening about this book from a long time that how this become a hot seller within nights. But I have to say after reading it and also watching the movie Hello, its not come up to expectations a s low as 25%. The story is very slow and not showed up what the call centres are really. Some points are good like the job cuts and our and their mind diffrence but the point when they call US that they have a PC virus is totaly shameless and ediot point. What do Chetan think, is that - that simple?

I give the book 2/5
In a word: Not worth try!

the book is good and interesting ... but the moive is very bad very very bad.. so plz dont make a movie

A true humour can be depicted from the story...there has been a appriciatable job done in FIVE . SOMEONE ALSO.......i recommend both d books to youngsters.......

its a nice book because after we read this book we find that there is always a god in our body
but many people do not listen the voice of god

so we have to listen god's voice to become success full in life,.,

its such a inspiring book......having lot of truth......dont run out just face the truth....

The book encourages d ambitious, hard working and rather frustrated new generation to accept their lot and be content coz nobody is perfect. What we are we are, thats it, live d reality, we can change it for better but no use escaping it. D mystery of god's call is inevitable coz d point could not hav been brought home without that.

IT IS A BOOK TAT SAYSSS N PROVE TAT THERE IS GOD 2 SHOW USS D RIGHT PATH TOWARDS D SUCESS!!!!
I HOPE CHETAN CONTINUESS HIS JOB....M WAITING
