One Night @ the Call Center
posted in Fiction |
ON@CC is the second novel by the ‘Five Point Someone’ fame Chetan Bhagat. It is about the life and work of six people working in a call center in Gurgaon. The story starts at 8.32PM and ends in the early morning next day (less than 12 hours!). The book captures the various issues, fears, frustrations, ambitions and objectives of the call center employees. It also reveals the indignation and condescending treatment that they have to face every night from their customers living on the other side of the globe.
It also portrays the dirty office politics and games people play to advance their careers. It shows how we sacrifice our self-respect and self-esteem to make money. It reveals why we cannot have satisfaction and be at peace with ourselves if we go after money instead of what we would love to do (our passion).
This a riveting story of how bad things can get for six people and how they get out of the mess (with a little help from God!).
