    Nice Read!

    To be honest the book started a bit low on my expectations but Gained Momentum after first 35-40 pages and did not loose it till the end ! The comparisons made by Dipen in the book are pretty hillarious and ( Real too ! ) . And the concept of "Richa's And Ajays" ,Appraisal meetings , three most happy days in life of a "Softie" and the "Production support" are right on the spot ! :)
    Though this book shows the hillarious side of the IT world, for the future Guys,just a general word of caution ...

    Great research done

    Being an IT professional myself, especially a developer , i was amazed at the comparisons between a developer and a daily wage worker ; which is accurately true . I am happy to see that he has shown respect to developers in a particular section :).The character sketches done are the other highlights , esp rita and male version of rita :D .Personally i was able to relate every incident and every person with someone in my company !! .
    Overall it is depressing to read the life of a s/w engineer ...

    You can completelly read it in 3-4 hrs

    P.S - Its worth the price

    BIBLE for all Corporates

    Purchased this book from Flipkart after reading many positive reviews and I must say it's totally worth all the hype it has build up.
    Don't go after many negative reviews citing "not so Humorous book" or "boring book" . People with those kind of reviews must be very frustrated with their lives already.

    This book is not only for those in IT or s/w industry, even all corporates can co-relatye with it.

    The book correctly portrays what happens in corporate and bet me on this you would find the...
