My own BOOKer List and Review
The 3 Mistakes of my life - Written By: Chetan Bhagat
Mistake 1: Carrying on the hangover of the down-to-earth, funny novel "Five Point Someone" to get lured into buying this book
Mistake 2: Despite the casual flipping of the pages at the book store, where the text in the flipped pages failed to hold attention, and despite the fact, I actually endured his second novel "One night@Call Center", still went ahead and bought this book
Mistake 3: Just because I had to kill time, waiting in that book store waiting for my wife to arrive; and it so happened there was less crowd, is no justification for the store manager to suspiciously follow me as if I was a book thief; and as if to prove a point to him, I was not a casual guy just killing time waiting for the wife to arrive, I need not have touched the book kept at the best seller display case, despite having committed the above 2 mistakes in that 90 minutes I waited there!
This is all I have to say about Mr. Chetan Bhagat's blockbuster novel...

Who moved my blackberry?
[yaam petra inbam peruga ivvaiyagam] - my own BOOKer list!
Who moved my blackberry? - Written By: Lucy Kellaway
A Dilbertian take on senior management, and how the top moves happen in an organization, and how stupid people make it to the top. Gives us a new nice term - Creovation (TM) - creativity and innovation. Whether the author actually invented it to be a coporate term, or purely as a funny take on the marketing words - yaamariyom paraaparamay!
The story narration is in a novel way. This is a one-person account of his corporate life, through emails on his blackberry. It is also a kind of monologue in that the story is narrated through a series of blackberry emails originating from the protagonists blackberry. No other emails, except for his life coach emails, are presented.
I was attracted the novlety of this narration technique, but with no story inside, the narration novelty wears off, and having read way too many Dilbert books, the funny incidents starts wearing you out.
Definitely worth the buy, considering I bought it at 50% sale at the FountainHead store in Mylapore.
