I first heard about the "100 hours per week" concept when I joined as Human Resources Manager at a small 40 people business consulting firm. Hogwash, was my first reaction...

My Response to Chetan Bhagat on the "3 idiots" post on his blog- "A book, a Film and the Truth"
Dear Chetan,
5 Points for you to respond to:
1. You are simply pulling a charade to sell another 100,000 copies of “Five Point Someone”. Please spare us the silly melodrama of “there were tears in my mother’s eyes”.
2. Loser, you sold the script of a mere INR 11 Lakhs, or did you take the rest in cash to avoid paying taxes. You are a typical Delhi-wala after all. And if you actually did sell it for so low, you deserve to get a kick. Or maybe after the “One Night at the Call Centre” to “Hello” debacle, that is your market rate.
3. Please under stand that your books have no comparison with the kind of script that “3 idiots” has and please understand that the celluloid industry in India doesn’t really care for writers who can’t write the script.
4. Finally after all your claims of intelligence and IIT-IIM background, we expected you to have done a better and detailed contract regarding your credit and representation.
5. Finally going to the media was quite a lame thing to do. Pandering yourself for cheap publicity does not augur well for someone who is trying to project himself as future youth though leader.
A word of advice- Admit you got the short end of the stick and move on. Be a man!!!
