    The black kurta is famous

    Comments | Print | Email

    (Note: Youtube video has now been obtained.)

    Sunil Sethi and I recently chatted about Dork and a bunch of other things on NDTV’s Just Books show.

    The outcomes of this were threefold:

    1. I appeared on TV. This has made many people on both sides of the family very happy indeed. Kapoors and Vadukuts from Agra to Alleppey were overjoyed. The in-laws are finally beginning to reconcile with my career decisions.

    2. I got to meet Sunil Sethi. And listen to him talk about growing up in Delhi as a lover of books. We recorded for maybe 12 minutes. And then stood around chatting for around a couple of hours.

    3. I had no idea there was an Olive restaurant near the Qutub. Two thumbs up.

    And this is the video.

    Youtube:

    NDTV: (full show including Aishwarya Rai and Karan Bajaj sequences)

    I know I know. I laugh too much. Sigh.

    A coworker said I looked “eerily unfamiliar” in the video. Do I?

    P.S. Just noticed. It says “Author ‘Dork’”. Ugh.

      HI Sidin…. nI had first read this article that you had written as a student ( I think in eco times ) Been following your blog for quite some time now and yeah Blossom Babykutty is one hilarious truth in Kerala ( I too am a card holding member of the marxist party you see a hardcore mallu).nBought your book with no great expectations ( how funny can an extended blog be is what i thought). But its an amazing book seriously funny and captures the essence of a consulting environment . All the best . A sincere request never give an interview with this gentleman again. A true book lover really despises this guy who goes about adulating the author to no end. trust me man your work speaks for itself. I have seen his interview of Chetan Bhagat and that was even worse…..

      Sidin, absolutely loved the book. I don’t think I have guffawed so much whilst reading a book, besides of course those by Wodehouse and Tom Sharpe. Great going mate! Look forward to further escapades of Einstein.

      you did not know there was an Olive near Qutub? You’re hanging out with all the wrong people.

      wonderful piece of information, I appreciate it that you share something useful for the readers here

      Publication of such trash means wastage of paper and ink. I have no words to describe this “exquisite literary masterpiece.” For the lack of minus ratings, I would sadly have to give 1 out of 5, if ever a rating system for this trash was instituted. 

      A book which spells ” I am trying hard to make you laugh” but fails miserably right from the cover to the inside pages. I picked it up and couldn’t carry on beyond 60 pages. 
      It seems the author, (editor of a widely circulated business newspaper) was smoking pot when writing this and trying hard to pretend that he is a 20 something.
