		<description>Not having read Abhijit’s first book, I bought the sequel Married But Available, with little expectations. As I started reading, I was quite taken aback as to how true to life the depictions in the book were. Having worked in the HR area of a Large Steel Manufacturing Company, I could empathize with most of the characters. The author’s portrayal of the small sleepy town where the inhabitant’s world is limited to life at the plant and the club during after hours brings a familiar warmth to all those who have ever lived in a Steel township.  The role of the new to town fresh MBA grad (Abbey) who is now the new HR guy is well crafted and takes us HR professionals back to the time when we started off.  His real education as he handles embittered union leaders, golf playing bosses, nosey housewives, crazy incentive schemes and a merger that threatens the livelihood of many in the town, is interesting watch as the novel unfolds. Juxtaposed among the work life plots is his personal travails, kind God fearing parents, smart and beautiful wife who feels smothered by the small town, Abbey reconnecting with his old flame, the subtle competition among batch mates and the hypocrisy of it all is sensitively written. 

This book was a pleasure to read and in spite of Abhijit’s disclaimers, one keeps wondering did that really happen to him? How blurred are the lines between fact and fiction? In any case, I look forward to going in reverse order and reading his first book Mediocre but Arrogant.</description>

		<description>Hi Abhijit,

Congratulations on your second novel!

I must say it’s a fabulous piece that you’ve put together. I’m not much of a reader and just chanced upon your novel during transit. And I was so hooked on to it. An honest, light and a humorous read – that finally gives MBAs like me a reality check of life.

Besides everything else, I just the character Ayesha. She is the most real person ever. Infact, every other gal I know has the shades and qualities of Ayesha. 

There is a strong sense of honesty in your writing. Also, your writing style is easy and the flow rather smooth. It was indeed a delight to read your novel.

Keep writing. Waiting for your forthcoming novels.

Regards,
Suvidha</description>

		<description>I thought this was an eminently readable and enjoyable book. There is an ease of language and expression that reflects long periods of sustained in-the-flow writing, by a very confident writer.

Lots of gems are hidden here and there and could form the basis for a book on corporate philosophy. But they are blurred by the constant dialogues (which on the other hand makes for the pace). The end - the offer of a Director&#039;s position - did not seem entirely realistic (too-good-to-be-true) and I thought the issue of the separation was handled in a rush; I am assured there is a context set in an earlier book.

All in all, the book felt real and I could feel for the protagonist who came across as honest and well-meaning.</description>
