Writing style
Bhagat’s writing style tends to be simple with linear narratives and vivid story telling. Bhagat’s writing style is in a light hearted manner with some dark themes in the background. His protagonists tend to be named after avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu, like Hari, Shyam, Govind, or Krishna. All in his books have numbers in title. (e.g.: ’five’ in his first novel, ’one’ in his second, ‘three’ in his third and ‘two’ in his latest book ) when asked about this Bhagat replied “I’m a banker. I can’t get numbers out of my head”.
Bhagat writes in the quick-fire
