About the author

Chetan Bhagat is the author of the month of August and he is up with his preface and contestants are going to love to write a story for him. This time too this about the author is taken from The Times of India official website.

"Chetan Bhagat is the author of six blockbuster books. These include five novels—Five Point Someone (2004), One Night @ the Call Center (2005), The 3 Mistakes of My Life (2008), 2 States (2009), Revolution 2020 (2011), the non-fiction title What Young India Wants (2012) and Half Girlfriend (2014).
Chetan’s books have remained bestsellers since their release. Four out his five novels have been already adapted into successful Bollywood films and the others are in process of being adapted as well. The New York Times called him ‘the biggest selling English language novelist in India’s history’. Time magazine named him amongst the ‘100 most influential people in the world’ and Fast Company, USA, listed him as one of the world’s ‘100 most creative people in business’. Chetan writes columns for leading English and Hindi newspapers, focusing on youth and national development issues. He is also a motivational speaker and screenplay writer. Chetan quit his international investment banking career in 2009 to devote his entire time to writing and make change happen in the country. He lives in Mumbai with his wife, Anusha, an ex-classmate from IIM-A, and his twin boys, Shyam and Ishaan."

I have read most of his writings and encourage you to read them too. As he uses the most creative way and tells a story in a beautiful way that nobody can tell that it was just a fiction and not real story. You can relate the story to yourself pretty well.

You can buy these books from here.
