They have enthroned Chetan on the pinnacle of glory and so they were on the tenter hooks as to what would be served by Chetan this time.

But his selection of the cities is very apt. His tale takes form in Varanasi and visits Kota too. Everybody was trying to guess what would be the topic and where would it be set? Chetan surprised everyone with 'where'. Everybody wanted to read it first and that made the pre-order volume swell like anything. The huge following on Twitter that Chetan enjoys, was already sniffing the release and those who have had a taste of his earlier novels were in no mood to let the occasion pass by. This was so eagerly awaited by the readers that it became the best seller on pre-order even before its release. Chetan Bhagat is once again the talk of the town with his new novel ' Revolution 2020'. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But neither directly addressed how very messy his life had become in the months that led up to the night he hanged himself at age 61.

German workmen were principally employed in the manufactory, and to them the children used often to sing their Danish songs. Hans Christian Andersen is one of those men who, from their earliest youth, have had to keep up a warfare with circumstances men who seemed destined by Fate to end their lives unnoticed in a village, and yet through an instinctive sense of their destined pre-eminence in the beautiful regions of art and literature, and sustained by an irrepressible will, have made themselves a part of the great world.
