In April 2006 Robin Einstein Varghese, a stupendously naïve but academically gifted young man (he was ranked 41st in his class), graduates from one of India s best business schools with a Day-Zero job at the Mumbai office of Dufresne Partners, a mediocre mid-market management consulting firm largely run by complete morons. Varghese finds that he fits into the culture remarkably well. Or does he? Through a stunning series of blunders, mishaps and inadvertent errors, Robin begins to make his superiors rue the day they were driven by desperation into hiring him. With things going spectacularly wrong in his professional and personal life, will Robin manage to achieve his short-term goal of being promoted to Associate in under a year? Will love conquer all and will Gouri walk with him through Dadar Department Stores with her hand in the rear pocket of his jeans? Dork: The Incredible Adventures of Robin Einstein Varghese is for all of those who ve ever sat depressed in cubicles...and wanted to kill themselves with office stationery. Especially that letter opener thing.

    Dork is a series of diary entries by a Management Consultant. The book is a cliched take (especially after having read Chetan Bhagat's books) on how a guy from a premier institute lands up the coveted day zero job and all his problems which miraculously turn him to a super hero by the end. It has all the essential Chetan Bhagat ingredients - humor (the author does try hard at it), a premier institute loser who thinks highly of himself and sex/love.

    Having been in the consulting industry, I was able to relate to and chuckle at some of the incidents. I doubt if anyone from outside the consulting industry would be able to laugh at the jokes though.

    The book ended rather abruptly and most of it was repetitive. Apparently this is the first of a trilogy and I can't imagine what else can be added on.

    Is this helpful?
