Clueless & Co - Pratik Basu

A nice tongue in cheek book by the ex Disney Chief. The book switches between a first person account of a guy's life in a pipe company and the misadventures of a Rahul Banerjee who is out to join as a partner in a dubious marketing reseach organization.
Although a bit of marketing jargon in the book might put-off the reader, the book does grow on you and u actually appreciate it in the end and the best part is that the book is that its funny throughout unlike in bits and pieces whether its the 'piss project' of Tapas Pan (Rahul's second partner) or the Big Brother incident.
Like Chetan Bhagat mentions, 'contemporary indian literature is evolving...' there are a lot of books, specially fiction that are being published by first time authors.. most of them make a light read and are very much enjoyable...
