| General note |
This book is a collection of 11 short stories where the setting of the corporate workplace is used to weave together the lives, aspirations, egos and insecurities of people. The dynamics of these interactions provides a perspective that is both farcical and irreverent while being perfectly plausible. From the use of a survey to address morale, to the quirks of leaders in startups, to the propensity of colleagues to gossip, Iyer keeps the readers engaged in a journey that will resonate with their own experiences at work. With a Foreword by Pritish Nandy ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE BOOK “Whether you are a relative newcomer to the corporate world or a seasoned executive of a multinational corporation, you will revel in the whacky characters that Sriram Iyer has brought to life from the recesses of his extraordinary mind. These stories of the irreverent observations and actions of characters such as Arjun Singh, and the bizarre realities of the corporate world will surely entertain and surprise you at every turn.” Mike Byron Vice President of Finance and Principal Accounting Officer at a leading technology Company headquartered in the Silicon Valley “Every student can easily skip cumulatively one year of his/ her MBA course, and pick up this book to learn more about the corporate world. And for those who are already a part of it can, I am sure, identify with the situations, and the personalities involved.” B Mahesh Resident Editor Bangalore Mirror “Sriram’s writings give you a rare insight into the corporate world – we can all identify with the people, the situations, the politics, drama, humor and irony. More than anything else, the stories help throw light on that variable we’ve all struggled deciphering – human character.” Sudhir Syal Editor Starting Up Show, ET NOW “A refreshingly unique, different yet honest narration of the reality and idiosyncrasies of the corporate world. Sriram does a great job of painting a landscape of interesting characters and situations that leave you thinking of similar situations at your workplace and put a smile on your face. Overall, an interesting collection of stories that helps one “lighten up” after a hard day at the office and makes you realize that life is not to be taken too seriously. Umang Bedi Managing Director Sales and Marketing – South Asia, Adobe Systems “A workplace humor author in the mould of Scott Adams, but pithier and sharper. Whether you love (Arjun Singh), hate (Randy Pi) or are infuriated by (the Swamy) his characters, you cannot be indifferent to them. A brilliant debut collection of short stories, and I cannot wait for the next collection. You will fall off your chair laughing at some of the jokes, when you get them!” Dr Viswanath Ramachandran Founding Exec. and Chief Technology Officer, SMS GupShup |
