He is one of India’s most successful writers, and with 3 Idiots, Kai Po Che and 2 States raking success at the box office, <keyword id="6390428" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Chetan-Bhagat">Chetan Bhagat</keyword> has become <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword>’s eye-candy as well. Maybe that was the reason that he was chosen as the additional screenplay writer in Salman Khan’s recently released movie Kick, despite the fact that all his previous filmy connections revolved around movies based on his books. 
 
As he announced the name of his new book on various social media platforms, there has been a lot of memes and jokes going viral because of his fetish with using numbers in the titles of his books. 
 
His books have been titled as 
<ul>
	<li>
		Five Point Someone – What not to do at IIT!</li>
	<li>
		One Night @ the Call Center</li>
	<li>
		The 3 Mistakes of My Life</li>
	<li>
		2 States: The Story of My Marriage</li>
	<li>
		Revolution 2020: Love, Corruption, Ambition.</li>
</ul>
We all know that Chetan Bhagat is an alumnus of India’s premier education institutes IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad, and worked in banks for 11 years before turning to full-time writing. Being an engineer, an MBA and a banker has surely made him think numbers and even five years after he left investment banking, he shares a special relationship with numbers. 
 
His latest book, <keyword id="2459041" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Half-Girlfriend">Half Girlfriend</keyword> has a number too, although this time around, it has been reduced to half. This is a story of a young girl who becomes her friend’s “half girlfriend” because he wants a relationship and she doesn’t. 
 
The teaser of the book is getting a good response because of the loyal reader base that Bhagat has managed to make in all these years. 
 
Coming over to the other side of fame, which is criticism, Bhagat has always been criticised for his literary skills and even this time around, there have been many jokes and satires on him. 
 
Some of them: 
 
"Bihari ho?" 
"Haan" 
"English nai ati?" 
"What?" 
"English nai ati?" 
"What nonsense is that? Aren't you being overtly presumptuous?" 
"Oh sorry, wo Chetan Bhagat ki novel mein padha tha na..."

Chetan Bhagat, What’s With All These Numbers?

Rational or irrational, from now on Gurgaon will be known as Gurugram. Yes, the Millennium City which houses some 250 Fortune 500 companies got its name out of epic roots. 
 
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar-led government said he was keeping his promise made during elections and changed the name to Gurugram as Guru Dronacharya, the guru of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata, had his ashram here. 
 
The news came as a rude shock to people of the Millennium City, especially those who were sitting at Cyberhub and sipping pinacoladas, who also suddenly realised they were in Gurugram now. 
 
People of ‘Gurugram’ were not even recovering from the news when Twitter took potshots at the government and the name

Good morning Gurugrammers; Twitter is rubbing salt into the wounds as Gurgaon will now be known as Gurugram

North West, Blue Ivy, Delta, Summer Rain and the list is endless. Hollywood is no stranger to wacky baby names. But in <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> that is a rare phenomena. However, now we have retired South African cricketer, and ace fielder <keyword id="86138" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jonty-Rhodes">Jonty Rhodes</keyword> breaking the tradition for ‘India’. Quite literally so! His love for India is well known, and now that he is here in the country for the ongoing IPL season, what better than to name his new-born baby daughter after the country he so loves, especially since she happens to have been born right here! 
 
Here are some of the interesting tweets that grabbed our attention:
