Chetan bhagat's second...

A few months back i happened to read a book by a new author... the book was "five point someone" and the author was chetan bhagat, an ex-iit,iim alumnus.... the book was really good.. it was a hilarious represention of the iit way of life .... and sure it rocks...
we as engineers could identify a lot with that book... thanks to the fact that the protagonists in the book were lazy bozos who gave nothing for studies and had their sights set elsewhere if u know what i mean....
so anyway after the first book i was really looking forward to the next masterpiece from chetan's pen... and the wait was over some time back when " one night at the call centre" was released...
and sad to say it is disappointing.. old wine in new bottle...
similar characters, similar attitudes.... but new setting though!
it is the story that revolves around six friends who find themselves in strange situations one night at the call centre that they work in...
believe me friends.. the ending sucks... no other word to say it...
its a pity that chetan bhagat had to end up another one book wonder...
anyway i think u guys should check it out.. specially if u ve not read five point someone... that way expectations will be minimal..
