73 Motivational Quotes By Chetan Bhagat Whose Five Point Someone Has Changed The Literary Scenario In India

From Five Point Someone to a reality show judge, Chetan Bhagat is now a household name and has influenced many youngsters to follow their dream, breaking the stereotype. Before becoming one of the best known story-tellers of India, this man had worked as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs.

We say, he has helped break stereotype, but how did he do that? Well, many people might not know that he has graduated from IIT as a mechanical engineer, and then earned an MBA from IIM, Ahmedabad. When a majority of people would have had a lavish and secured life, he chose to leave a stable career and dabble with writing.

Even in his personal life he followed his heart, and when caste and linguistic barrier decide the marital fate of people, he belonging to a Punjabi family, married his ladylove who is Tamil. The story of his novel, Two States, is somewhat like an autobiography, and we are sure this has changed the perception about inter-caste marriage and brought in some change.
