And they have the same apprehensions, the same reasons to do things as his audience. And his stories are set in situations that fit his audience. So, for example, the story that made him famous, which was one night at a call center, was at a time when call centers were flourishing around India. This was the Englishspeaking English reading crowd of India, which was different from the quote unquote elite of India

If you have any questions. If you do not agree with anything that I say here, please feel free to disagree. Because although the lady in the park was pretty unhappy with the fact that I like chicken Baghdad, I was not really unhappy by the fact that she doesn't. I think we are here to share opinions, so please feel free to share your opinions. I am not someone who judges people on their likes and dislikes. Thank you
Hi, Shafali. Thanks for inviting me to this. Well, I was not aware that Jayden Bakat provoked such a strong reaction amongst his audience and readers. I haven't read him, unfortunately, so I can't really comment much on him. My own experience with him have been with the movie, which is based on his first novel, and I really enjoyed the movie

But I watched some of the movies and I'm not sure how much the movie reflects what the writing is because I like some of the movies which he wrote and I kind of like that. But the term best, I'm not sure about the best, but he's one of the best out there because he is a smart guy. He holds a d*** he's an IAT anand he did his I am and then he was an investment banker

We don't want to get out of the book. We don't want to get thrown out of the book so that we may go look, find the meaning of a word. So I think that is why I like Jayden Bhagat. I like Jayden Bhagat because he simplifies the language and yet he talks in the language which is spoken by the young crowd of India today and that is how he connects with them, which is awesome. Of course, not many authors are able to do it

Probably I'll listen. But otherwise, for most people, it's more like he's not at that level, which is okay. So thanks so much, sweet. I hope that you'll be able to finish one of his books at least. And as you said, that you probably try to read them again. Do try reading them again. Maybe you will find them interesting

Then I brought one for me also one copy for me so I can keep it and whenever I'm free I can read the book. So I'm not very fond of him. But yeah, I don't hate him also as a writer, I'll connect with him on whatever transitions he writes and whatever situation he tries to portray through his books, I can actually relate to it
So surely I'll try going through his books, I'll just try to know more and more about him. So once after that, I feel I can make an opinion and then I can give my exact reply to you. So until then, I'll try finding more about him and I'll just find out how it related to your opinion. Thank you so much for sharing about something which actually helped me to know more about him. Thank you

So I think Jayman Bhagat gets unfairly blamed for a lot of this. But his books succeeding definitely did set a precedent, and it doesn't seem like he wants to change that. I mean, if I was making tough loads of money, right, writing something, like, I would do it, too. Because who doesn't like money at the end of the day? But what I've come to realize is he's a good author. Sorry?

Hi, Vidya. Thanks so much for replying to my swell. I'm glad that you've read a few books by Chetan Bhagat and as you said later in your reply, you don't really hate him. You probably are not crazy about him, but you don't hate at him either. And I think that's where I am. I am quite like you in this matter. I do not read books with a critical eye. I don't do that

Thank you once again for connecting with me through this well and replying to it. I hope that I'll see more of you here on myself and I will definitely come and talk on yours. Thank you

But later, once I have finished the story, once I go back and I try to look at how he has connected, I look at the language he uses, I look at the dialogues, I look at what his characters are doing, and I'm really supremely amazed by how he does it. Thank you so much, Binati. It is always a pleasure to talk to you. And you never cease to amaze me with your depth of thinking
And that's what is perfect. There's something to learn from him. But do I love him as an author? Like, if I would have read these books when I was much younger, I read it when I was 30 or something. So if I would have read it much when I was much younger, I think I would have liked them more. But at that age, I just found them. Okay, good. Not enough to make me die harder. A fan of Chitten

In them, he gave them the courage and confidence to explore this profession, to get into writing seriously, and I think we need to give him the credit for that. Number three, he got Bollywood interested in his work, which was phenomenal, and thereby helping his story kind of reach out to a wider audience across the length and breadth of the country

If you're a fiction writer, if you're nonfiction writer, even if you're a person who just wants to be a better communicator of ideas, instructional design comes in everywhere. It is something which might be intuitive for some people, but there are methods that can be learned

Because somewhere deep inside, many of the authors, many of the writers actually at that point in time who had not yet become authors, they used to feel that when it comes to English, only English literature can be written. Only English literature would succeed because you need to have that level of English to understand and appreciate English stories. He changed that, which is a lovely thing. Thank you so much, region, for sharing your views and once again for sharing them so beautifully
