    Media Recommends Married But Available

    Media recommends Married But Available The Telegraph says,

    ” Married But Available (HarperCollins, Rs 195) by Abhijit Bhaduri follows Mediocre but Arrogant and is likely to be followed by Middle-Aged but Active. It is the story of Abbey, an MBA in the Eighties, when MBAs were just beginning to be accepted as god’s greatest gift to the corporate world. The prose is hardly of Booker quality, but the plot could interest a film maker wishing to capture on celluloid the pains and dilemmas of a man the rest of the world calls successful.”

    The Telegraph has announced it way in advance that I am not getting the Booker Prize. Uh.. OK… I reconciled to that thought in a heartbeat. It is that bit about the movie deal that distracted me. I will quickly need to figure out how to spend the millions of rupees that come from a movie deal with Bollywood. It is not about greed. But do you think they meant Hollywood is knocking on the door… no seriously because that would be a game changer. i would have start thinking of millions of DOLLARS to spend (after the movie deal, of course)
