I have let people down and have no reason to live. You don\u2019t know me. I\u2019m an ordinary boy in Ahmedabad who read your books. And somehow I felt I could write to you after that. I can\u2019t really tell anyone what I am doing to myself \u2013 which is taking a sleeping pill every time I end a sentence \u2013 so I thought I would tell you.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-italic\">I kept my coffee cup down and counted. Five full stops already.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"celwidget aplus-module module-2 aplus-standard\" data-csa-c-id=\"u42nfx-emdwpz-h91stx-67v7pj\" data-cel-widget=\"aplus-module-2\">\n<div class=\"aplus-module-wrapper apm-floatnone apm-fixed-width\">\n<div class=\"apm-sidemodule apm-spacing\">\n<div class=\"apm-sidemodule-textright\">\n<p>I made three mistakes; I don\u2019t want to go into details.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s silent face every day. But after he refused my offer yesterday. I had no choice left.<\/p>\n<p>I have no regrets either. Maybe I\u2019d have wanted to talk to Vidya once more \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t seem like such a good idea right now.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Regards<\/p>\n<p>Businessman<\/p>\n<h3>About The Author<\/h3>\n<p>Chetan Bhagat is the author of five best-selling novels: Five Point Someone (2004), One Night at the Call Center (2005), The Three Mistakes of Life (2008), Two States (2009), and Revolution 2020 (2011).
