Good to see so many responses. Members here should participate in this manner more often. Personally I do not have a question as I do not enjoy his style of writing much(read the 5 point someone). But its a good thing to know that many like his work as is seen by the response.
I request you all to have such enthusiasm for other interviews too.

Hi,

i have read the book one night at call center and it was as good as watching a movie..
nothing 2 go overboard.. abt the book but the narration was captivating..
so i would like 2 ask u:

How do you prepare yourself before writing a new novel especially after giving two successful back to back novels,when the expectations from u are higher?

which book is your favorite amongst your writings and what is your all time favorite book?

[mayurpathak]

My Questions:
1. What inspires you to write fiction? Do you conduct any research or try to weave your story around your or somebody's real life experiences?
2. Your style is not exactly the literary types. Is it deliberate or do you aspire to be a literary novel writer in future?
3. From Army public school to IIT to IIM to Investment bank to the writing table. Which Chetan Bhagat is closest to your heart?
4. All new writers don't enjoy success as you did. What do think makes a book successful?

People flood your questions please!

[haiabeon]

[The_Big_K]

Alright! Just two more days to go!

Keep the questions coming!

I wonder why we have poor response here?

[xheavenlyx]

It hasnt been closed yet? Wow, im soo damn late!

"Do you think the hype surrounding IIT's is justified? What was different from your perception before you had joined IIT and after spending a semester there?"

And yea, looking forward to his new novel!

[The_Big_K]

Ah, I've been traveling and couldn't post updates here. We'll be accepting questions for next 8 hours

[bidhanojha]

Well you might have heard this a million times but I will repeat again... I admire your work... and written words....

Your writing style is amusing and shows your brilliance... Just to make a confession, I had tried to copy your lingo style in some of my blogs but never succeeded in it bigtime....

Anyway, just want to know... Is your writing style (natural humor) is a gift, got it during days @IIT/IIM... or learned it for writing....
