Dork: The incredible adventures of Robin “Einstein” Varghese (2010)

Paperback

Language: English

Author: Sidin Vadukut

As the name suggests this book is about the adventures of Robin “Einstein” Varghese. The story starts with the last few days of Robin on the campus of his business school. The days when campus recruitment is in full swing and Robin like many others in his institute want to be lapped up by a consultancy firm with a fancy salary.

The difference between the others and Robin is his top of the rack stupidity and naivety quotient. And more importantly a false air of confidence & the ability to screw-up or score an own goal at ease.

The story comes to us as Robin’s diary entries. It is a hilarious account of Robin’s naïve arrogance, stupid brilliance and confident messing-up of things. Episodes of Robin’s booze fueled bravado, puking, monumental hangover, epic fights with classmates / peers he hates, his quest to rewrite supply chain management, the stupid thought that he is going to be the savior of the world of consultancy. And the monumental of all, a booze fueled voicemail message which puts him on top of the world map of the consultancy business.

The story becomes even better if you have come across someone of Robin’s caliber in your life. It becomes more relatable and enjoyable. A laugh riot and most recommended !!

Super Read… Go for it !!
