Authors – Anil
Chawla and Debashis Ghosh
My review
should have lot many Hashtags, the way the new generation does to emphasize
their feelings.
The first
one being #Proud – Coz both the authors are Pillar of one of the IT giants and
I am a part of the same Organization.
As we move,
I will have more of these tags.
Authors, Book Title and Expectation
What do you
expect from two people who spent years in the industry, who know the Principles
behind it and who also have been pivotal in establishing and realizing some of
the Principles? Obviously, a Non-Fiction with loads of Jargons and Gyan!
What I assumed
was translation of a set of the secret messages from Mahabharata for the
techies.
But...Tada…We
have a fiction from two of the best brains in town!
So, first
battle won. They did surprise the reader.

The Story
It is a
story of five friends and their journey in life and how each of them lives in a
parallel world called the ‘Corporate Life’. Our authors here have done a
wonderful job of taking one through their college life, the fun and mischief
and not leaving out the infatuation and the sweet innocent look moments. Our
authors definitely seem be fun-loving and not just workaholics.
Our
characters here also have a pact for life like other college gang and they name
themselves the Pandavas. (#Nostalgic suits the best)
As the
story moves, we get to witness the IT Revolution; how each of our character grows
in their career and a visible change in their personality from a boy/girl-next-door
image. The readers would definitely be able to relate to the various situations.
Not Just a story
If you want
one to remember something, create a story around it.
Our authors
here have used their Story Telling technique to drive some of the important
management lessons. Like Situational Leadership or the ‘retrieval Paradigm’-
Not doing things right at the first instance but retrieve the situation at the
end. And this definitely is a universal issue!!
I read this
chapter more than once.
The lessons
and some of the points do stay with you along with the Pandavas.

Reader’s Comfort
Fast Paced
and Relatable. One can find himself in any of the characters.
Verdict
3.6 /5
Stars
Must read!
Go back in time and enjoy. Learn new things as story moves. Interestingly the
story also makes you think about ‘Relationship Goals’.
Don't stop with just the story, read the acknowledgement and the About the Author to discover who they are.
