Long Video 7 | Lessons from losing my first job! 

I feel like i am watching a web series I haven't felt that i am getting bore for a single sec,such a great narrator you are sir 🔥

Throughout the video I felt like I'm reading another book of yours. I could literally picturize each and every scenario in my head that you mentioned - be it the swimming pool at discovery bay or the small room that you shared with the other two people. Although I haven't read any book for a while now but this video of yours managed to fill the void. You're truly an amazing narrator and writer both.

Sometimes despite this tag of IIM-IIT you've to face hardships, but this belief will always helps you no matter what the problem is.

That was so interesting. I could play the entire story in my head with the visuals.

Your kids must be so lucky, you have so many stories for them !

Flexibility plays an important role. I like the fact that you accepted your situation and deal with it practically and patiently rather than getting too emotional. Again an inspiration 👍👍

After listening to this for close to an hour only thing I learned is life is certainly full of ups and downs. IIT AND IIMS doesn't guarantee the smooth journey ahead there will be hurdles and challenges so one has to really work hard and be humble at every stage of life kz life never fails to surprise us!!

There is so much to learn from your life. And it's amazing how genuinely you share your experiences. Please keep going

You are a fantastic story teller who has described his life with lessons for everyone. Thank you indeed.

Waiting for the next one... Listening to your life story is like living a bit of it for a short period of time. And I'm loving it through your long videos. Thank you.

frankly knowing you since yrs I never felt that even you had a lot of struggle in your life , evening managing 10k can be tough at times, but now the time has changed and is a very big lesson for all of us , time changes and this is the best thing about time. This was another amazing Long Video , now waiting for the next one

Such an inspiring story.I was having a tough week at the office.But this video just washed all the stress away.The struggles you went through make my hurdles look inconsequential. You deserve all the success Chetan.

This series of yours is better than most of the web series out there❤❤

Humility always moulds a person's character to a higher level no matter what the circumstances are. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I always love to listen to you

I am just 21 but so far I haven't seen a person as successful as you are... sharing some of your personal experiences.. soo frankly and in such a humble manner. Everytime I see your videos I feel like I'm listening to my best friend who is trying to guide me... like I can relate to it so easily...like you are one of the most grounded, simple and funn human...you are a package sir..and thankuuuuu for sharing these precious encounters with us❤️

Spread Goodness Spread Happiness! THANK YOU sir for all the long vidoes. I don't have much time so daily i used to listen one or two😊

It’s a very strange coincidence that today morning I was conversing with my close friend regarding Chetan sir and found this series and video here. Amazingly I am working here in Hong Kong and never knew the Hong King connection he had , I have been hooked on to the series and can’t stop listening more . Please keep sharing your experiences.

Don't have ego ,life is super unpredictable, patients and perseverance will help you a lot in hard times.❤️🙏 Thank you sir 😘 Carry on 🙏

Love love loved this ❤, thank you so much sir, you've no idea what difference you're making to our lives with these videos.

The way u are able to connect to the viewers is so fascinating. Not for a sec I looked at how much of the video is left. Eagerly waiting for the next "long video". Keep making them!!!!!

Oh you made us "wait" for this one, for so long. And yea "waiting" is tough. Come back soon with the next part soon. Love you .❤️

Very inspiring but down to earth conversational style honest from the heart speak kept one engaged .

I never cry, but without my knowledge I cried twice. Such a good story and I can totally connect with your mindset!

Omg. I felt the exact same things when I first landed in Tokyo. The clean roads, the clean air and the silence. I would always appreciate it

@chetan what you are doing is superb!!! I think in this mean world nobody shares their trade marks and secrets but you are so pure and so open about things real world and life. In a way you are making 100s Chetan bhagat who are watching and inspiring Indians to crave for success. I'm more more and more people will stay focused and motivated after watching your emotional videos. You are a true friend and we all subcribers of your channel love you for the content and the work which you are doing selflessly. Also I have noticed that there are no ads and no promotions done on your videos which is quite nice of you. Your agenda is clean and clear which is to build a strong and smarter India 🇮🇳

Thanks for being like that elder brother who comes out with his experience and shares it without filters so that you might not face the same or might have an answer if such problem arises. Thanks a lot sir really learned a lot, it was like an elder sibling sharing his life experiences .

Finally after a long time, we are getting a long video. It's really life changing Thank you sir💓🙏

I have binge-watched the entire long video series. Don't stop with what you have started with Sir.

You speak so genuinely. Was eagerly waiting for this video. Hope you don’t make us wait too long for next one.

Even the long video doesn't feel that long. You are a true story teller. 👍👍

Sir you are a god gifted story teller. Even if you will make a 3 hour long video , I don't think anyone will get bored at all.

Things I learnt : 1. Give your best in your work . 2.When in trouble reach out to people and ask for help . 3.Minimise your expenses when needed . 4.Have patience and wait for your call .

I heard full video with headphone, I. Kept my mobile apart & feel your story just like your novel . In short I can say that ..we have to kept going until last, may be miracle happen at the end. Thank you so much sir.

It was a treat to watch your videos in this series. In all honesty, your videos made me nostalgic. Took me back to my days in 2001, at 21 fresh out of college after completing my bachelors in finance, first job in finance, just starting out. A year and a half later the first company i worked for wrapped up its operations in 2003. The apprehension of getting my next job and the company that followed led me to make a career switch for good(once again yes, my boss), to IT. :) Quite a co-incidence. Doesnt end there but what matched up all along. Different regions, however. Looking back i dont regret a single day because every day i learnt something new, abt work, the world just abt something or the other. I hope you continue this series narrating your experiences in your career. Very relatable. For some of us, its a walk down memory lane. Excellent series. Eagerly awaiting more to come from you in the future. Thanks!

Long video series is literally like a amazing web series documenting your life sir. Just keep on continuing and making it more of different phases of life maybe which we haven't known or heard that we could learn from.

Real life skills examined so simply. No hard to understand jargon of words, no out of the word spirituality lessons which say money is bad. Thanks to GOD Chetan

All this while I was wondering why there is so little information about your real life story - all from IIT D to IIM A to IB to being such a stellar author - in the public domain. Finally, a big thanks to you for sharing your journey in detail, through this video series.

Seems like generation of 70s had similar challenges around money, job opportunities, girls, family responsibilities etc. Thanks for making these videos, feels like reliving my life.

You should definitely write about this episode in your life. Truly inspiring!

Finally watched the whole video. As I always say one of the best thing on youtube. 1) You journey teaches us to handle different situations. 2) All the minute details you share feels like we are living that moment. 3) I may not be from Tier 1 college but being from Finance background I really learn a lot from you. Request - Long videos really take long time😃. It would be good if you upload every week.😊 It's difficult to wait for couple of weeks. Thank you ❤️

Hi Chetan Sir, life is crazy. I remember when in 2010 I listened to you for the first time. Publishers rejected your first book for two and half years. When It got real you met a guy just 18 years and you getting flower bookey from him at airport and you saying oh so book likhne pe bookey milta hai...I am so much thankful to you, You were persistent and glad it got launched. Your episode of Zindagi Live with Richa Anirudh can’t forget your expressions in those.

Learning something new every day from you ,you are an inspiration for me and I'm in love with these long videos Chetan sir love u a lot

The most awaited show on RU-vid for me because this long videos are helping me a lot.

sir I’m 18 yrs old ..while you were narrating your story I could imagine myself doing all those stuff.....its really inspiring for me...it is so relaxing ...I am excited to live my future dreams...it’s heart warming...pls don’t stop uploading your videos ...it is really nice ...I can feel right changes in my life...it’s just so amazing...it is filling me with life ....so beautifully explained....no words to express...thank you sir ...hatts off to your efforts

Sir, what a great video and lesson, I will never forget this story, If Chetan Bhagat (an IIT, an IIM ) passout can adjust and count on meals, then why anyone can not learn how to survive in a bad phase of life. Thank you so much sir for putting these videos, you are inspiring so many people. God Bless you!!

This struck a cord. Loved the takeaways... which a friend said should be called the take-ins... deep lessons that need to be internalized. Thanks CB!!

This video gives me strength to be firm on my decision and keep working towards my goal no matter what I'm facing now...I was just scattered before watching this...it may won't help get things better but it surely will change my attitude towards how I react to things and keep moving.

I have watched all your seven long videos and waiting for 8 th.I really enjoyed and learned a lot from your experiences of life.

Waiting for the next one Your experiences are really inspiring for us. Please keep on sharing them. I am sure that these long videos will add up something really beneficial in my life.

A long video containing life lessons and also the way you represent in a very natural manner never felt us bored keep making long videos thankyou a lot we have learnt from these

I enjoyed listening to your story, I could relate to it. It didn’t feel it was long but I heard in 3 breaks while doing my other chores.

I always used to think that Successful people are borNed talented but u made me realize that we all are born with raw talent and we have to work hard to shape our talent to be successful. Thank you sir from Nepal......🙏

Now waiting for a web series on this. Chetan you are an excellent story teller.

Hearing you on youtube is like getting a narration done from you in person, Sir. Now this was a much needed story to learn from other's trying situation and also retrospecting on the same. Looking forward to other life experiences aka LONG VIDEOS. :-)

ur long videos are pure bliss for us sir.....dont know why but u seem to be career influncer for me

Pearls of experience worth sharing. Thank you for sharing. Loved every second of this, & looking forward to the next one ! Cheers.

eagerly waiting for Long Video 8, love this concept as it feels like actually living through these experiences just by hearing him.

Thanks a lot sir for sharing your journey of life. Most people/celebrities normally don’t share it with common people. A lots of love for u sir , for your genuine interest towards sharing all this to us. God bless u Sir. 👏

I will keep it a special folder which I shall show to my daughter when she grows up. Thank you.

Really loved hearing your story. It was heart warming and inspirational 🤗

Thank u for the generosity u have shown while narrating your true struggle. Lesson s r so imp.to be learnt from... U r simple and honest that's why people like me like u

Thanks for sharing your experience , this is very useful and thanks for motivating and understanding life is all about ups and down.

These videos are really life changing...started with long video 1 last week and now I have reached the 7th one. Sir your journey is damn inspiring from mc happy meal survivor to India's highest selling english author. Really excited for the next part to see the rise of 'The Chetan Bhagat'!!

You have been an achiever for a common Indians you are more than a role model.Successful as an author. But what you are doing now through these videos is simply outstanding. You are enriching the society by your experience and knowledge. God bless you keep it up.

I found this video so insightful and a very inspirational one. The fact that u take so much time out to help us in any way, I really appreciate it! I am 18 years old from Bangalore and have read all your books, sir! CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT LONG VIDEO!

Chetan you are indeed a good story teller.

You're a great inspiration for youth sir...the lessons which I learnt from this video are Life is uncertain so always be prepared for worst circumstances Never take things for granted EGO should always be kept aside

Thank you for the video. Helps a lot for people struggling with their life especially the financial and uncertainty crisis ❤️

It feels like my uncle is saying his life story to me, it's so engaging. Please keep them coming as soon as you can, can't wait for long.

What a great journey! What a man ! Loved it !

Truly Inspirational story. I can relate many things which are currently going in my case, but "rukna nhi hai life m chalte jana hai" that's what I got a message from this video and which is I am enabling in my life too. Many up's & down's but at the end efforts & dedication gets you sucess. Thanks alot sir for this video. Waiting for part 8. God Bless you!

1 hour blockbuster... The way you narrated the life stages helped me to picturise the whole story in front of my eye... Excellent inspiring journey... Thanks

This simplicity of the language is the difference between Best Author and Best-selling author

Chetan sir, I used to listen you like I am listening radio talk. You are much insight into your thoughts.

Such an Informative video to understand life. A finance guy literally struggling to mange his finances is Life's irony at it best. I never have thought that a person from IIT-IIM would have to survive on McDonald's and work way below their capability. Kudos to you sir for holding out then so you can make us informed now. And yes, The middle class keeda helped you survive warna any rich brat would have left immediately 😂

Super video..such vivid description helps us relish our middleclassiath n humble background taking us all the way back to 90s.also good jugaadu spirit in adverse situations

I just got so much emotional hearing your story. It touches my heart as I feel that I had gone through all of it. I lost my Job last year due to corona as I was working in DXB. It was my dream Job as I was working for Emirates in IT.

I have done my almost best which I could in my life. But after listening to you I feel bad that I am wasting too much time and still haven't done anything. Thanks for these videos

Thank you so much Sir.... For guiding us through ur unique storytelling n many people admire you🙏❤️😊

Chetan I can totally relate to you. My first country aboard was Hongkong and I was totally awestruck. Developing to developed nation surprise. Every nook and corner I was clicking photos and every cars I was watching with wide eye open. Yeh feeling thee, yeh bhi duniya hai..

This is your Frist video which I watched fully. Very very inspiring stories. Nothing will certain in our life ❤️

The thing which you told about letting your ego down was fantastic. Ego plays a lot of havoc and I feel a successful man is one who knows how to control his ego. Very good video sir. All the best. Keep making such videos. U inspire me.

I can so relate myself to all those things you mentioned when you made first abroad trip to Hong Kong !! So alike it was for me as well !! But you have beautifully portrayed it in your video!! Your a rockstar forever and always

Sir this is my first comment in youtube It really feels like my brother is guiding me about life when I hear your words sir and your story is relatable in present scenario . I am thankful that you are guiding youth in right path and I wish your videos should reach many people instead of bullshit videos which are completely making youth disabled

Chetan Sir, GoT was the last binge watch I had but I somehow managed to quit after Season 1. This series has been another binge watch for me after many years and I am actually proud of this. I remember an incident from 1.5 decades back when one of my friends gifted me Five Point Someone. I kept reading it all through my train journey back home and also didn't speak for more than half a day after reaching home as I kept reading in my room. My parents got really worried as I was coming home after first semester of college and they thought, maybe, I am doing drugs or something and that's why I was holed up in my room😅

So glad thay you shared it with us. Life lessons are so important. Thank you sir.

Thank you Sir for making this long videos which is helping me to understand that Life teaches us lesson so that we can evolve in a better way☺☺

Sir, from the day one, I have watched all the 07 episodes , i am really thankful to you for this as i am realizing a good change in me with some different perspective... Just love it... ♥️ Thank you so much sir !!

I can relate with you in terms of living conditions which you had after you lost you job. Truly inspiring lessons you have given. I will definitely follow them.

Love to listen to you, Sir! keep making inspirational videos for us. :)

The long videos by you are like watching a series on Chetan Baghat’s life story . They are inspiring as well as interesting . 👏🏻✨

Undulations in phases of life so explained with simplicity and open-heartedness!- so appealing to the mind which gets soothed so soft! So courageous of you to talk like an extrovert!!

Finally, it Most awaited video on youtube for me, Thank you Chetan Sir for continuing this series.... :) Thanks once again, Lots of love to you :)

Hats off to your will power for being so positive about getting a new job in next 3 months in the time of crisis rather than returning to India and giving up at that time. I wonder what would I have done if i have been at your place, Huge respect for you sir. Keep sharing your life lessons :)

Man, can we have a movie just on this part of ur lyf? Best episode so far. Loved it!

Great video, teaching us unpredictability of life. Big fan of yours🙂

Thank you for mentioning nd remembering our lovable nd dearest grand mother
