This is the blog of Abhijit Bhaduri the author of the novel Mediocre But Arrogant and now the soon-to-be published sequel titled Married But Available (another M-B-A)! It is a funny story of how an unambitious undergrad from Delhi Univ lands up in the highly competitive Management Institute of Jamshedpur (MIJ), India. How the two years in B-School change him, his dreams and his relationships. MARRIED BUT AVAILABLE is about the first decade that Abbey spends in corporate India.

I bought your book 'Mediocre But Arrogant' last evening and finished it in one go, not counting the sleeping hours. Let me congratulate you for bringing forth the story of Abbey in 'MIJ' so lively.
There are too many incidents in your book to which I can relate to. You have used humor very well. Hey, a strange coincidence! I was listening to Dylan's 'Blowing in the wind' when I came across the section describing the same :-)
Let me take the liberty of being a critic. The end was abstract. Did you intend it so? I can understand that this book was about 'Love and life in MIJ'. Still, you could've added an epilogue describing the meeting between Abbey and Keay when she comes to Delhi. By the way, what is Rusty doing now? Head of a middle-east company? ;-)
As a matter of fact, I'm a software programmer for over two years and plan to do my post grad in Business Mgmnt from XLRI, Jamshedpur. I've only XLRI in mind looking at my career goal. That means I won't take up CAT either. Hope to crack XAT with good scores! Might mail you for a couple of suggestions if you can oblige :-)
Hope to read more books with you as the author! Once again, well done!
