One night at the call center. CHARACTERS IN A NUTSHELL

‘One night at the call center’ by Chetan Bhagat is a story about the lives of six people working in a call center searching for true happiness. Beginning with a messed-up love story of the narrator “Shyam”, to the separated family life of the retired military person, we can see different short stories of each individual fighting to get peace. In the midst of their complexities they work together at the “Connextions” call center under the Manager Subhash Bakshi who acts like a villain in the story.

A POEM FROM PAULO COELHO'S BOOK "ELEVEN MINUTES"

A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to caste away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace.

TOXICITY

'Toxicity'- A trending word which is part of perhaps everyone's life - knowingly or unknowingly. I have used the word with the two paradoxical intentions because that is how we all may have perhaps dealt with it.  Beginning with our childhood, living in homes where parents bring their work frustration and use violence to control their kids makes the home environment - TOXIC. As a result, many children miss out on having an affectionate childhood and sometimes may become totally cold hearted. As an adult, many people may come across friends whose bullying can be toxic leading somebody to lose their self confidence unaware of how harmful that relation can be. However, since a majority of us spend most of our time at work space, I think it is this 'TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT' which needs our attention. Every now and then we hear about a lot of people unable to bear the work pressure which may lead to a mental breakdown or heart failure which is on a peak in our times. Hone...
