In Conversation with Chetan Bhagat

Prologue

It is not every day you sit in front of your computer on a Saturday morning and get an email like this:

From: Ahd_businessman

Sent: 12/28/2005 11.40 p.m.

Subject: A final note

Dear Chetan,

This email is a combined suicide note and a confession letter. I have let people down and have no reason to live. You don’t know me. I’m an ordinary boy in Ahmedabad who read your books. And somehow I felt I could write to you after that. I can’t really tell anyone what I am doing to myself – which is taking a sleeping pill every time I end a sentence – so I thought I would tell you.

I kept my coffee cup down and counted. Five full stops already.

I made three mistakes; I don’t want to go into details.

My suicide is not a sentimental decision. As many around me know, I am a good businessman because I have little emotion. This is no knee-jerk reaction. I waited over three years and watched Ish’s silent face every day. But after he refused my offer yesterday. I had no choice left.

I have no regrets either. Maybe I’d have wanted to talk to Vidya once more – but that doesn’t seem like such a good idea right now.

Sorry to bother you with this. But I felt like I had to tell someone. You have ways to improve as an author but you do write decent books. Have a nice weekend.

Regards

Businessman
