The OFF-SITE TAMASHA by Abhay Nagarajan

Hi Friends

This is the my second reading of Abhay Nagarajan, the earlier one was 'Corporate Atyachaar'.  The story revolves around OFF SITE Team Building Exercise of a corporate. The protagonist and his boss resumed their roles in the earlier book.

Overall it was a good read. But, I think the problem with it is high expectations I had due to fresh style of Abhay's debut book. Moreover some instances in the book, makes it really unrealistic, in the realistic plot. 

In nutshell, I will recommend this book if you haven't read 'Corporate Atyachaar'. And, I expect that Abhay will try to keep freshness and maverick way of story telling up to the mark in his next book.

Corporate Atyaachaar by Abhay Nagarajan

Well, I must give all the praise to the author for his first attempt.

As, I haven't read many Indian Authors, I am forced to compare Abhay with Chetan Bhagat. And, this book for most of the times, reminded me of 'Five Point Someone' and 'Two States'.

I couldn't stop laughing throughout the read. And I was easily able to connect with the mindset of the rookie with respect to his boss.

I must say, Abhay has knack for story telling. But, towards the end I was slightly disappointed, as it was not able to keep the pace with most of the book.

Also, I am wondering, if the instances in this book are real, then Abhay must be on hit list of his boss and colleagues.

Looking for more from him!!!

2 States by Chetan Bhagat

It is indeed a master piece by Chetan Bhagat after Five Point Someone. The other two novels i.e. One Night @ Call Center & Three Mistakes of My Life, were relatively junk.

First hour of reading, I kept on laughing holding my tummy. Its indeed a hilarious one.

I think that Chetan's real life has more spice than his imagination. So Chetan, dont try to imagine anymore :), just share your real life incidents with readers.

The Dilbert Priciple

Words can do no justice to the amazing humour that scott adams brings to the table with this book. If you are a Dilbert fan, this is a must read for you. He mocks consultants, HR policies and anything and everythings remotely connected to management right from cubicle space to TQM to compensation to leadership in this typical Dilbert satire ! A must read .. especially if you are a management student with a sense of humor :)
