It is about a night at a call centre with weird ongoings including a call from God. Vroom, Esha, Shyam, Priyanka, Radhika and Military Uncle are the characters that define the novel. In one night, all of them come to know they may lose their jobs to rightsizing of the firm. Vroom proposes Esha and gets rejected. He also comes to know Esha's nefarious activities. Esha gets to know that the one inch of her height would not get her a modelling role even if she slept with hundred thousands designers. Shyam realises that his relationship wih Priyanka was over. Priyanka was about to start jer life with Ganesh, an NRI software geek who has a bungalow with a swimming pool and is about to buy a Lexus. Radhika, who was anyways troubled by her mother-in-law and was on anti-depressants, came to know that her husband was having an affair with someone else. Military Uncle realised that neither his son nor his daugter-in-law appreciated him contacting his grandson. All the frustrated souls were on their way back from a lounge when the vehicle crashed and landed on the framework of a construciton site. There was no network to summon help. Suddenly Shyam's phone starts ringing and he realises it is GOD calling. God gives them a piece of advice on how ro live their life and whenever they are confused to take some time off and focus on that inner voice which is God speaking. Life can be lived with intellignce, imagination, self-confidence and a little bit of failure.
Good read for a lazy Sunday or a train journey perhaps. Style of writing is strictly mediocre. Does not help the vocabulary in an sort of a way. Pretty wannabe at times. Unbelievable but God is really that small voice that tells us this is wrong and that is correct.
Overall rating: 2.5 star
