Blog Task: One Night @ the Call Center

Respected Sir,

·        Narrative technique of Bhagat novel ON@TCC is very interesting. Bhagat use prologue and Epilogue. In this novel he also uses term dues ex machine through bringing God in the novel. Narrative technique of both the novels is same, but Bhagat try to present it in more interesting way. Other thing is that who is that lady? Who told story to author? At the end she says that if you want to replace God with Military uncle you can. Another is that lady is not one of six so another question that who is she? She told story to writer and writer tells the story through the character of Shyam.

·        The self-help book we can say that easiness or easy to read and what is the message of the book we clearly defined it in easy way. The self-help book is one that is written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems. However we can see in this novel the characters of Radhika and Priyanka their idea about the “vasudhaivkutumbkam”, also mother happiness is own happiness. Self-help book often focus on popular psychology such as romantic relationships or aspect of the mind and human behavior which believers in self-help feel can be controlled with effort. The self-help book typically advertises them as being able to increase self-awareness and performance including satisfaction with one’s life.

·        Menippean Satire: In this novel Chetan Bhagat satire on contemporary situation. In call center youth are suppressed by Boss. We find here Bossism in this novel. Bakshi is boss in that call center. Contemporary issues about work culture described in his novel. Military uncle knows problems of every characters and he gives solution to the all characters.

·        Globalization: The effect of Globalization we realize in novel. As Thomas Friedman's notion of the flat world is a reality of current time. All six characters have their own problems but they live happy life. Priyanka lives their own way, she is not worried about her mother. All six characters fall in problems and then suddenly call from God. Mobility connects them with God. We show in novel effect of Globalization.
