Hello readers!
Here I am going to wrote about the famous novel ' One night @The Call Center' is written by Chetan Bhagat. This novel writer wants to give message to the Indians that who working in call centre they just get good salary but it not give it a opportunity to do something else or for their skills. So this blog is my academic task given by Dr. Dilip barad sir from Department of English Bhavnagar University.

Bhagat's work

Chetan Bhagat's most of the novels deals with contemporary issues. Young urban middle-class people. He is a twentieth century writer, and knows well that how to sold his books. In his novel One Night at the Call Centre, there is some aspects of modern India. People are working in call centres, so, title itself suggest that writer included several contemporary issues of modern India. Globalization is an economic development, everyone is struggle with their personal angst, the problems which are the causes of globalization.
For this novel we can say that the title of the Novel it self tells about the effect of globalization in call center. In this novel writer wants to give message to the Indians that who working in call center they just get good salary but it not give it a opportunity to do something else or for their skills and creativity Americanized form of English in the Call Centers.
From the starting we find that it has a positive as well as negative effects on life. If we see the names of character, Shyam turns into Sam, Varun turns into Victor and etc. We find cultural homogenization of workers in call center, exploitation of employees, language issues, growing technology, equality between Men and Women, Rising anxieties in life.
Self - Help and ON@TCC
Self help book is about moral lesson, solution of problems and also helpful for build personal philosophy. The meaning of Self-Help Book is to self improvement, Genre – non fictional book. Self –help books often focus on popular psychology such as romantic relationship, or aspects of the mind and human behavior. In On@tcc God’s call it shows the moral massage and it developed self confidence of characters.We see that all character suffer in their life. Also these all problems we find in our real life and also in the society. With help of the type of book we find solution of the problem. Chetan Bhagat’s present the real life situation of the people and how they all manage the life.
We can say that Chetan's God becomes a mouthpiece for his self help - 'listen to the inner call'. It is about inner call or inner voice. A self-help book is one that is written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems. God’s call it is a kind of a help, or it can be interpreted in many ways. God’s call pays the path, he shows just the path, but then all characters help themselves. In this way we can take this book as a self help book also.
Comparative study of Narative structure on on@tcc
One night @ the call center is a controversial novel. The novel's narrative framework in which we can find dream sequence. God has a dream or a real meeting, but the storyteller does not understand it.Chetan Bhagat himself started the novel that he was on a train from Kanpur to Delhi and he met a woman who told him the story. So the protagonist describes it by dark. Here is a frame description.Unknown Lady-> Chetan Bhagat-> Shyam-> Reader also becomes problematic because it takes a different kind of understanding. If we compare it to Yan Martell's pie of life, then it is also the same narrative structure.
Chetan Bhagat makes very good use of prologue and epilogue in his novel. In prologue, writer himself comes as character and talks with the reader. The same thing can find in life of pi in which Yann Martel Canadian writer meet the person. Both writer present in prologue and told that how they got inspiration. In the both work they meet person who told them stories and after that they collect deep information about it before writing novel. In epilogue there is alternative reading. After hearing story of pi Japanese agents not belived on it at that time pie told another story in which animals replace by humans. In the same happens in on@cc lady gave alternative reading by replacing God lines with Military uncle. So like this both work has Same narrative structure.
