I hear your long videos when I do my morning/evening walk. It makes it very easy to complete the distance and mind is occupied in your story. Keep going.
I have read his first three books..but I watch all his videos... he is an excellent story teller... I got emotional when he was narrating his rock bottom story... u can’t leave his video in between... he kinds of bind you with his story telling.... also so desi at heart ❤️ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻amazing...
Wonderful story telling Chetan. As one year senior to you at B School in D 17, I remember you as being very funny and intelligent but listening to the full story is both entertaining and inspirational. Almost like your books which are hard to put down
I completely agree with the thought that you don’t have to show efficiency in these type of stories. I like these because they are old school, long, stories with lessons at the end. For me it’s more about the story and less about the lessons. Let People listen to the stories and make their own lessons out of it. Keep going.. more power to you
Your story is most inspirational to us.. I remember Harivanshrai Bachhan Poem words.. असफलता एक चुनौती है, स्वीकार करो क्या कमी रह गया देखो और सुधार करो कुछ किये बिना जयजयकार नही होती कोशीश करनेवाले की हार नही होती । Best wishes to your writings and RU-vid channel.. Keep it up 🎉🎉
This was truly inspirational, Chetan! Thank you so much! I perhaps relate more because of similarities in my background (IIT KGP/Mech/Deutsche Bank), but as a young & aspiring writer, your videos help me understand the world actually out there. Couldn't be more grateful!
Reading your books and Harry Potter are the reason I still have a reading habit which has been the best habit. It’s amazing to hear about this background of yours. Keep making such long videos .
Very few successful people honestly talk about their failures, which makes the outside world think they were an overnight success. Thanks for starting this series. Its very motivating and insightful.
I remember reading five point someone when I was in school. It was such a hit during those times. I remember reading it 3-4 times, it was fast paced, engaging, funny and easy to read. Thank you sir for sharing your story, which is so inspiring for all of us. Sometimes life takes us out of our comfort zone, just to get the best out of us! Waiting for part 2. 😊
This was most awaited video. You can literally read my mind. Only yesterday I was hoping when will you release part 9 when you discussed part 8 in 'Zero Confidence' video
Waiting for next video sir..few days back I found your channel and watched deep talks and long videos...now listening your voice become addiction for me...it's so amazing. Your videos motivates me alot. Thank you Chetan sir
I developed reading habit from your books. Even I changed my career couple of times and I recently became a commercial pilot at the age of 35, I could totally understand how it feels to leave something which is paying you so well but your passion is something else. These long videos are awesome. Can't wait for next one !!
Your stories are helping me come out of a 10 years of rut I call my PhD. A mere thank you seems minuscule in comparison with the amount of help, hope and motivation your work is providing. You and JK Rowling are my fav authors :)
Chetan, my opinion about you completely changed after watching this video…thanks for sharing your very personal story…really interesting, emotional and truly motivational. Looking forward to your next videos.
I would encourage you to make more long videos, as much as possible. They are my favorite. Chapter markers make no sense in a long story video because this is not a collection of short stories. It is like a novel in which you must start from the beginning till end. I also urge you to make podcasts of these long videos. It will be a great experience if someone driving a car can listen to you, your experiences and your narration style. Loved every bit of it.!
I appreciate your honesty in telling your good & bitter experiences you've gone through. Certainly, it would be an amazing guide for the new writers.Thanx a lot & awaiting the next ones eagerly.
Chetan, I appreciate your journey from an executive to the insecure race of hitting the highway … Very few executives have the guts to come out on the highway alone.. Hats off !!!
The best thing i admire about you is your sense of zero ego and you being so simple and true to yourself and it feels like zero filter raw and real without that more common hoax of intellect ... 😇
Fascinating, Chetan! Seriously fascinating! Waiting for the next one! Absolutely enjoy these long videos. Clearly, as human beings, we need social connect and a good old chat. Fantabulous video!
The timing of the video couldn't have been more apt....This has come at a time when many of us are really in need of such motivation.... Thank you , again 🙏
While you described moments at CCD Vasant Kunj, I could feel the emotions that you were going through while narrating it even though you made your supreme attempt to control them. I will wait for the day when all your long videos can inspire a film maker to make a biopic on your life and career. Believe me, each of this long video is an Institution and as a former GS employee, I could relate your good times and not so good ones ambidextrously.
Five point someone and 3 mistakes of my life were a big part of my childhood and school life. Still remember reading your books in between the school textbooks. That was the age of no social media so all we knew about you, was from the last page of your books. I still remember you came to give a speech in one of the schools in my city and I couldn't see it because the fee was steep for a 15 year old that time. Not going to lie, I did forget about you slowly as the years passed by but this RU-vid channel made me revive all the respect I harboured for you as a teenager. Lovely videos and great story telling. I'm glad I stumbled upon this serendipitously and now I can have a one to one interaction ( somewhat) that I missed as a child :)
I could feel your emotions flowing through this video - it was such amazing storytelling ! What I couldn't figure out between long video 8 and 9 is - when did you get married ? Btw I have read all your books and loved every one of them. The best part about your books is your simplicity. I don't have to sit with a dictionary in hand to read them - they are simply stories I can enjoy. Your books are entertainment and not a show-off of any literary prowess. Keep writing and keep making these videos !
What he writes is about people like us....in a language that we can understand...common man ....we are therefore able to relate to the characters in his novels..... superb !
Never had ever watched long video except this , and really worth watching it. It's all about how you react towards your problems and how you stand up again from a huge fall. Inspiring
Being humble and consistent in your work is an important thing even if you feeling low! At the end everything falls back in place. Loved this long talk 💙
Thank you Chetan. Wonderful video. Absolutely loved your authentic voice...Your radical honesty is refreshing. Your story motivates me to keep doing the things that I love. Thank you for this gift of authenticity of being an author shedding all facades.
I still remember in my 1st year of Engineering I was very depressed in my life due to some reasons. There were 2 Novels (Half Gf & Rev 2020) lying in my room, which my roommate has purchased but never read them. I started reading them and got so addicted that I left everything aside. I stopped attending my classes. Within 7 - 10 days I completed both the novels and felt so good.
Wow, I can’t believe that it has been 17 years since your first book! I read it in my first year of college in 2005. I am a father of twins myself. They are 6 months old. I hope that by the time they are 17, I can achieve same wisdom and fitness as you. All the best for your RU-vid journey.
Very inspiring story . It teach us successful people haven't always been successful. They have been: - Laid off - Rejected - Told "Nope" - Brushed off - Given up on Just like everybody else. The only difference is that they didn't let it stop them.
Your narration is fascinating, enchanting, engrossing and all real. Experiences coming directly from a hero about his journey from zero to hero about his passion in a life of ups and downs. Conclusions are sincere and heart touching. Finished your 3 to 9 videos in 4 days, awaiting more. Do carry on, we are loving it.
Well said, long stories should be like this, sometimes trying to make something more effecient can turn it to more ineffecient. I really love to listen to these long stories. It is my request if we can get one long stories every week. Your life stories are very inspiring.
Chetan sir is a master storyteller and it shows even in long RU-vid videos on his own totally he is able to get us hooked. Chetan sir we have actually met in London airport when you and family were heading to Barcelona (2015) if you remember. Please continue this long format
I am 53 and love your videos!!! I know you mention about the Videos for young generation but I love them too! Being from IIT and IIFT may also be the reason to relive the memories!!
Sir, Though, I am one of those avid user of RU-vid App, I don’t think I have ever commented on any Video ever before… Even now, I feel like; it is my Heart typing these letters-words-lines, not my own fingers. There is so much of Hope / Passion / Love / Character in every line that you say and it brings-in a lot of Confidence within me or anyone who listens to you. I kind of finished this whole PLAYLIST of 9 Video Blogs within a span of 10-days or so, I won’t regret not even a second of time that I spent on them. In-fact initially, I opt to give it a try by doing some other work (So called, multi-tasking) but the Emotions which you were bringing were so intense and I couldn’t listen to it without looking into your eyes. A guy who studied in Kannada Medium at School and Pre-College in South India, a guy who seen his Sister crying for meals, a guy whose alcoholic father beats-and-kicks him just to make him go to Factory to get some money, list goes on… In-spite of so many obstacles, worked in 5 countries and ethically I could make some savings, today my Family is so proud of me. All these were possible that’s only because probably I was using couple of same Mantras as yours ‘Being overconfident is better than under-confident’ + ‘Never give-up Attitude’ + ‘No shame is seeking help and learn’. I genuinely wish, someone @Netflix or @Amazon find this hidden gem and convert this into something big like a Web Series or something, where you get your royalties properly this time. With Lot of Love and Best Wishes, BNB PS: I have not even waited for GoT’s next Episode or next Season, how much now I am waiting for yet another Long-Video from you and I am not alone.
Sir, your storytelling is so honest; keeps the listener engrossed through and through! I still own my copy of 'Five point someone'. And thoroughly enjoyed reading every page of it! I too am from IITD 🎉
Even these series will turn to movies some day. I am 94 grad engineer, possibly a year older . I am waiting so much for this series as well deep talk. Sharing these with my 18 year old son as well my friends. You touch generations Mr Chetan Bhagat. Kudos, you are a source of my own reflection and happiness.
After listening to the ups and downs in your life my respect for you only increased ! It's like a mannual for how to live a successful but adventurous life where instead of settling you try to achieve one milestone after another. This series inspired me to have a dynamic and adventurous life rather than a monotonous settled one.
I am really enjoying these talks. Getting to know you better. I don’t read much but you are one author that I always read. Somehow started to enjoy reading. I remember reading 2 states on a flight and I was laughing away. ❤️
The first book I ever read in my life was 3 mistakes of my life. Somehow I never thought I would love books before I read 3 mistakes, and since then it has been 7 years now read 300+ books. Thanks Chetan Bhagat for introducing me to this world. And about the video - These are so raw so emotional it is kind of refreshing to watch such a successful person speaking like this in a world dominated by fakus. Every long video is amazing - Please keep doing these sir!
Amazing way of narrating your personal story sir....it's truly very much relatable with the ups and downs we go through in our lives and hence your videos does a healing effect on us. Thanks for sharing😊
This is so inspiring, sir. Three mistakes of my life is the your first book that I read years back, and then one after another. I have been watching your long videos since a few months now. And this last one brought me to tears, literally. For me it is so, so relatable, maybe because I am struggling to bring to light my works too, maybe because the barrier that stands between my dream and my reality seems insurmountable at times. But after watching this, I am sure I will remind myself to get up and do something about it. Lots of love and respect @ChetanBhagat.
Finally caught up with these long videos... loved every bit of it... so much relatable.... really admire the detailed narrative so far... and let me tell one last thing... these long videos definitely have a repeat value... i wouldn't personally mind starting from the first video again !!!
Literally a roller coaster! Level of effort you gave in was inspirational. No offense, but to be intuitive, I also see your twins were born as lucky charms to you sir. Loved the video ❤
Sir I know I should not spend my time here in watching this video when CAT is around and my mocks are scheduled but seeing your videos is helping me in overcoming negative thoughts in these struggling days.
Mr Bhagat, it feels like you’ve given us a chapter from your future biography. Loved every minute of it, inspiring, motivating, heart breaking in some places. You sir do have the gift of narration.
5 point someone was the first 'novel' I had read when I was in HS. Then I ended up reading all your books. Although I'm not an avid reader, my personal book collection today has more than 200 books. Thanks for probably turning around my life 👏👏
Every time you kept your benchmark higher in your story and deeper hanger at the end to hold us waiting for next episode....just superb.....you made me feel inspired and become your fan...
Literally watched the whole video in one go and I was totally hooked to it !! Please please please .. Awaiting for long video 10 now.. never stop this series.. But I also want to ask you two questions : 1) it's hard for me believe that - you started writing only because you wanted to escape the stress from your Goldman jobs . What kept you motivated and crack the nerve - that the book you were writing is something people would definitely buy ! What made you believe in that idea ?? Did you never really visualized yourself as a successful hit author ... ??? 2) How do you get to idea of picking up on your next book ? What is your method of writing ?? How do you come to conclude that - this is the topic I want write my next book about ? Do you get creative blocks ? If yes, how do you deal with them ??
Sir I have heard about you so many years ago ... Even in a book fair I also saw many of your books bt never buy them..bt this is the 1st time I listened to you... Do you know sir it is 2 am and I literally completed your video. I liked it as much as I can ... And I promise you .. I will buy your 1st book as soon as possible... Love you sir ... ❤️ ..
Your all videos are Very encouraging, inspirational Sir, I have learnt a lot from them.Thank you so much for making such a nice content videos and sharing your experience, thoughts.
You are an amazing storyteller. My take away from this video- this one video so simply stated gives one such a powerful hidden message about how to navigate your path through challenging situations. 👌🏻
Really LOVED the video. As a creative who's also in the startup world, I was smiling all throughout. It'd have been impossible to know all this otherwise. Thank you so much, a million times and more! Can't thank you enough! Best wishes! :))
@@ChetanBhagat1 Definitely did. But more importantly, learnt a lot. Thank you so much! If I could ask one question: How much time did it take you to write both the manuscripts from start to finish? The answer would be very important. Thank you, once again! :))
Hello sir, I’m currently a master’s student in computer science studying in the United States. I’m from Bangalore I’ve been reading your books since my class 11 days, and they have really inspired me from within. You are a gem of a person, and your talks are priceless! I’m consider myself really fortunate for having been able to listen to your videos!
Five point some one was the first English book I read, and then after that there is no looking back. I still remember that day when I bought your book from crossword and completed it in overnight at hostel. Thank you so much sir for giving me such a nostalgic memory. May be force with you and keep making long videos. I am addicted to them.
Thank you for sharing! My wife and I both love these long videos! Please continue sharing when you get time. It inspires us. I listen to these during gym sessions. ❤️🙏🏻
I have learn a big lesson that do not be shy at any stage of life,Wheather you are big or small. When you launched your first book that time you were requesting and here on RU-vid after getting huge fame, you are the same. It shows your hard work, dedication and be the best everywhere kind of attitude. Thank you so much!!!
Novel is a book where we live through that moments while reading it. Im 23 and im reading your novels since my 17. Sir ,before 2022 im expecting actually we all are expecting a novel from you better than 3 mistakes of my life .because its been so long i havent lived a moment as im medical student. I love you sir ❤️
Dear Chetan, Last week I read "Shantaram" (900 pages) and my first book was 5.some1. Honestly, I didn't like any of your book post 2states but I still read and will all your books as a tribute to inculcate reading as a habit in me. I go back to Sparks whenever I feel low or want to keep my spark alive. I have sat people besides me and read them 3 mistakes of my life to encourage them read and develop it has a habit. For any non reader, I ask them to start with your first 4 books. I can go on and on about how much imapct your books have made in my life. So Thank You ❤️ Cheers and keep writing (waiting for you to recreate magic of matches 5.some1, 3 mistakes or 2 states but irrespective I will read you as tribute). And yes, I like your sense of humour! Ending with a quote of Mr. Bhagat for all those who have read this long comment "Don't be serious in life, be sincere" !!
Just watched all your videos and liked all of them ! Now eagerly waiting for your next long video you’ve just left us all on a cliffhanger!! Please make it fast.
