If god was a banker - Worth a read
It has been a while since I finished the book. But it's now only that I thought of writing about it.
In recent times, many of the corporate personnels have started writing books on their experiences, which seems to be a nice trend. I've read some very interesting books written by such people. 'If god was a banker' is the debut novel of Ravi Subramanian, an IIM B alumnus. The book is based on his experience of working in corporate banks.
The story begins with two young professionals joining New York National bank right after completing their MBA from IIM. Both are highly talented, it didn't take much time for them to make a mark there. One of them, Swami, is pretty straight forward and honest, while, the other, Sundeep, does anything to conquer new heights. The story progresses mainly around Sundeep's activities and finally he had to regret for all those that he did.
Ravi Subramanian's language is good and simple. But It turns out to be a bit nasty sometimes, especially when he describes Sundeep's sexual encounters.
Even though it's not a nail biter or a must read it provides us with an honest description of what all vicious things people do in a large corporate in order to acquire higher posts and make larger sum of money.

Hmmmm..The review is good....Its a revealation of the darkside of the corporate world especially in banking.....I think he has written it well and was successful enough to put his ideas in front of the readers....And about the nasty language I don't think it was as bad as it used to be in any other book which you read..More than that it was just necessary to mention how money and sex can mislead people and spoil their life however brilliant or successful they are....
