A hilarious book about ambition, belief and irony, the book paints the life of a tier-1 MBA, as seen through the eyes of a witty, idealistic, and ultimately, fatalistic south Indian protagonist. It highlights the richness of human experience, and captures dilemmas and anxieties we all can relate to.
Set against the backdrop of one of India's finest Business schools, this is the journey of a hitherto over achieving person who chooses to believe, like millions of other Indians, in the ubiquitous and superbly marketed Indian MBA dream.
Busting some MBA myths, while reinforcing some others, Shiva observes that everyone dances to a symphony that convinces them that they are within touching distance of their promised reality...or are they really? The inherent humour and wit in the narrative is a major USP of the book.
