I read ‘The Girl in Room 105’ by Chetan Bhagat recently. It is a light thriller but very engaging and interesting. Halfway through the story, I couldn’t help but wonder if the story was inspired by some real life event. The story is set in a college campus where a mysterious death takes place. The issues of inequality and corruption are also weaved into the story. I couldn’t find any evidence that this book is based on a true story but the issues it raises are very real and are currently happening in India. Most of the issues that Bhagat raises are of how so much pressure is put on students to study and many injustices in the system.
I see the frustration of a typical person while reading the story of protagonist in the book. The story takes an ordinary turn as the protagonist tries to unravel a mysterious case. He does things normally a person would do in a similar situation. Although the story is not true, it reflects many untold stories in reality.

A rather interesting debate this sparked at my book club – is ‘The Girl in Room 105’ fiction or nonfiction? Although the book doesn’t market itself as nonfiction, the way Bhagat has written the book feels so very real – casual for one, the way he has incorporated WhatsApp messages, the dry, skeptic tone of the protagonist. I think the author is making a very pertinent point – love gone wrong and a callous, apathetic world is so very easy to happen in real life.
This book is one of those rare stories that plants a seed of doubt and leaves it to fend for itself. It’s not a story with a happy end but a real-life like scenario and that’s what sticks with you.

I love reading crime fiction and most books written in the genre are usually inspired by true events or real life cases. But then The Girl in Room 105 isn’t claiming to be inspired by any true events. The author is more focused on portraying society as it is and in the book you can clearly see how he has portrayed life in a hostel, the brutal processes of governement offices and the turmoil a human mind goes through in such a situation.
Bhagat has conceived a very credible plot and comparisons to famous Indian crimes (like the unresolved deaths of young women) have been drawn but there is no real correlation. He has done a fantastic job of creating a fiction that can pass off as a news headline. That’s why people might be believing that this is a real story. But the ambiguity actually works in favor of the author and the story. It keeps you guessing even after the author has summed up the story in the last page.

When the Girl Played Doctor

My fiancé's junior colleague went around the hospital every day calling herself "the best girl".
When a patient with acute appendicitis was admitted, she mistakenly prescribed laxatives instead of proper treatment. The patient nearly went into shock and died.
After the hospital was reported by the patient's family, she simply smiled and said, "I don't even need a supervising doctor to prescribe medication anymore. I'm such a good girl!"
On another occasion, she failed to order routine pre-op blood work for a surgical patient. During the procedure, a visiting senior surgeon was exposed and later contracted HIV.
She actually puffed out her chest and said, "Even if everyone had to stay up all night helping me save the doctor, I'm still the best girl!"
I protested more than once and urged my fiancé to dismiss her.
He refused every time. He brushed it off with a laugh, saying "this good girl" just needed time and experience.
Then, a prominent patient was transferred from a military hospital for surgery. She secretly tampered with the medical records, switching the pathology findings from the left lung to the right. She even revised the surgical plan, recommending removal of the patient's completely healthy right lung.
Luckily, I caught the mistake in time, restored the correct pathology report, and performed the surgery successfully.
After the patient recovered, he asked for our team to be recognized.
To my disbelief, Elena Bakers ran to my fiancé in tears.
"I wrote the entire report by myself! All by myself! I'm the best little girl!
"Why do you always take credit away from me? It took so much courage for this little girl to be brave just once!
"You're all horrible!"
Elena stormed out of the hospital and was struck and killed by a car on the spot.
My fiancé did not say a word.
However, on the very day I was appointed hospital director, he produced falsified evidence accusing me of altering records and causing multiple medical accidents to advance my career.
I was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death.
As the verdict was delivered, he looked at me with unmistakable satisfaction.
"You'll never make up for what you owe Elena. Not in this lifetime."
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day Elena altered the surgical plan.
When my parents came to take me home, I accidentally switched souls with Ava, a girl from the mountains.
The moment my mother saw the certificate proving that Ava had ranked first in the entire county, her eyes filled with tears. "Looks like sending you to the mountains to suffer for half a year was the right decision.
"Back then, getting you to study was like pulling teeth. Now you finally understand that everything we did was for your own good."
I burst into tears and rushed forward, throwing my arms around my mother's legs. "Mom, I'm the real Sophie!"
She kicked me hard, sending me sprawling into the mud. "Where did this wild child come from? You're just as disobedient as the old Sophie!"
My parents took away the "me" carrying Ava's soul, leaving the real me behind in the mountains.
For the next five years, I endured endless hard labor, slept in a pigsty, and suffered relentless abuse before I finally found a chance to escape.
But when I returned home, my mother looked at me with disgust and drove me away.
"My daughter just made it through the national competition. How could she possibly be someone like you? If you dare spout that nonsense again, I'll have you locked up in a mental hospital!"
I cried until my entire body shook, but I refused to give up.
That night, I climbed over the wall and slipped back into the house.
That's when I heard my father ask my mother, "We didn't know about the soul swap back then. But now that she's found her way back... are we really not going to acknowledge her?"
My mother let out a cold laugh. "What would be the point of taking her back? Should we let her ruin the Sophie we have now? She's hopeless. Even being thrown into the mountains couldn't change her. Someone like her deserves to die."
A sharp pain ripped through my stomach. I coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Mom... This body has stomach cancer. Just as you wished... I'm going to die."
After fifteen years away, I was finally brought back to the DeLuca family.
I thought I was returning to my real home.
Instead, I walked into a house where the adopted daughter wanted me dead, my father treated me like a burden, and my brothers would rather watch me bleed than make her cry.
On my first day back, she set dogs on me.
That night, I was dragged to the top of the observatory and forced to apologize to her.
When I fell from the tower covered in blood, they still called me a liar.
Because in the DeLuca family, I may have been the real daughter by blood—
but she was the daughter they loved.
She thought she could bully me, poison me, and freeze me to death without consequence.
She was wrong.
Because the night I nearly died, my mother finally chose me—and turned a gun on the whole DeLuca family.
She was the first girl. In the all boys boarding school. And also happened to be placed with the demon himself.
After being blamed for her father's death and her mother's drug addiction, her mother decides to send her off for good in a boarding school. Due to some mistakes in the gender part and no placement available in girls school, she was placed in Oaklawn Academy, the all boys boarding school.
She expected there will so much awkwardness, she will be made fun off, no one will be friends with her, she will be embarrassed and bullied, everyone will judge her and what not.
However, she didn't expect to fall for the demon. Oh but she did. She fell hard.
Little did she know, the demon loves her as well.
Watch this story unfold as the angel and the demon both experience their first love.

"But I have always love you angel, since the moment I laid my eyes on you in the elevator as you sneaked glances of me thinking I didn't notice but I did, I noticed each and everything, every silly little thing you do and everything you say. I am absolutely and utterly in love with you Angel and only you. You're my first love and will always be"

I receive a phone call at 3:00 pm. Apparently, my daughter, Marilyn Lopez, has suffocated to death because she was left behind on the school bus.
When I arrive at the scene, I'm overwhelmed with sorrow the moment I see Marilyn's purple face.
That's when I snatch a gun from a policeman and put a bullet between the eyes of the school bus driver, who's been playing on his phone this whole time.
After the gunshot rings out, I open my eyes immediately.
My alarm clock rings once again, showing that it's 7:00 am.
I've gone back in time!
Then, I see Marilyn wearing her backpack and telling me sweetly, "Mommy, the school bus is here!"
I quickly stop Marilyn like a madwoman and refuse to let her board the school bus.
But a gas leak occurs at 3:00 pm on the same day, causing Marilyn's death.
No matter how much I try to save her, she keeps dying in various ways at 3:00 pm.
This is the 108th cycle. As I stare at the weird smile on the school bus driver's face, I finally understand everything.
My daughter went missing three years ago, and everyone assumed she was dead.
Then came a national writing contest. An essay grader dialed 911 with trembling hands.
A contestant had written a single chilling message inside their essay: [My mother has kept me locked in her basement for three years. This is my only chance to call for help.]
And the specific home address was listed in it.
When the police kicked my front door off its hinges, I was sitting on the couch watching TV.
They rushed past me and found a girl trapped behind a heavy wooden door leading underground.
However, that girl wasn't my daughter.
My house doesn't even have a basement.
