Go Kiss The World: Life Lessions For The Young Professional

I picked up this book with low expectations and it's counsel I would like to pass on to other readers. With that approach, you could turn the last page and be content. It's not a wow book but it's a good read filled with nuggets of wisdom.

It's the kind of book that every successful businessman who has introspected on his life will write but Bagchi does have a nice touch indeed.

Keep a marker handy for those snippets and reflect how you could apply those wise words to your life. In between, you'll have to pass through his autobiography which isn't the most exciting so be prepared.

All in all, I'm sure there are better inspirational/autobiographical books out there but there are no regrets at all in picking up "Go Kiss the World".

Subroto has one important message for the current generation about to start their careers - do not overplan. As Rabbi Sherre Hirsch says "We Plan, God laughs". God does laugh even at Subroto every now and then, and to overcome this he shows how a heads down approach has worked very well for him, and should work for most of us too.

One flaw in the book from my perspective is that even Subroto falls prey to presenting his DCM experience with a senior manager as a "I'm right, and he was wrong" view. Similarly with his last conversation in WIPRO with Azim Premji. Humility? Errrrr...

it is simply superb.depicts the miles travelled by subroto since 1976 so less travelled by others of his ilk! he is different from the beginning be in the classroom at vani vihar or at chanceller cup bebate ,ncc mountaineering receiving award from pm indira gandhi and he has remained so now looking at life from different angles. the lucidity of language the flow of narrative the honest expression explain the experience and exposure he has gained in his varied works and life situation all over the world.wish more from subroto.

An amazing book, really lucid style of writing. I was hooked on to it from page 1 and finished the book in one evening. A must read

Subroto Bagchi shares his life and learning - at various stages - in a candid and forthright manner. The practical insights are deep and enable the reader to relate them to his/her situational context. A must read for all ages - not just the young professional, as today's organisational setting is in a huge state of flux.
