How to write like Chetan Bhagat

nikhimenon@gmail.com

Chetan Bhagat is said to be 'India's most loved author.(atleast that's what he claims to be!).This 'four books old' writer(though none of them were literary marvels), usually writes 'light stuff' with the sole intension of entertaining his readers(though the output may not be necessarily entertaining; his recent one, '2 states' being the  testimony to that fact).


Anyways,for all the wannabe Bhagats out there,here is a  piece of info that you might find useful..


1. The characters should be 'funky' and invariably IIT/IIM educated.They should necessarily begin their conversations with the F word..!( point number 1 will help your target readers identify themselves as one among them  )

2.Never under look even  the minute instance in the story where you can throw in, the maximum number of cheesiest lines possible.
( your readers will definitely find it funny...!)

3.The  hero should fall in love with a 'hot' girl (ideally his prof's daughter or his friend's sister,the college beauty queen may also be enough) and he should be smart enough to make love with her on a regular basis.(that's what most guys fantasise  about,so they might find it interesting!)

4.The hero should have an  'I don't know, how i made into the IIT/IIM'  attitude through out the story.(no doubt,the readers will symathise with him)

5.Most importantly ,try to convince a publisher who would sell your books at a prize,not more than 90 bucks.(C'mmon you want your book to be popular ,naa?)

6.Make friends in bollywood.(this will help you find takers for your book there too!)

Try this, it works....!
