My friend, Vinay(Kanchan) has written this hilarious book - The Madness Starts at 9!!
The book is a satire on the corporate world. It is set in an agency, and is a humorous take on many events that happen in the life of the agency!
1. Vision Impossible - elaborates on the mind numbing nature of vision meetings
2. True Lies- looks at how in a interview process, both parties celebrate the 'creative distortion of the truth'
3. Wait Until Dark - is about how office parties can be used for furthering your career graph:-)
4. A myth called performance appraisals - is well, the name kinda says it all :)
5. Stumped - shows what happens in an organisation on the day when India plays a cricket match
6. I know what you did last summer - demystifies what really happens during summer internship
7. Murder by Numbers -dwells on how we inherently are intimidated by numbers, even though they have a critical role to play
and so on...You can get the Hindu review of the book here...
All the best Vinay! Hope you have a best-seller!!
