Adventures of an Indian Techie
Rated as an Amazon bestseller, Nipun’s debut book “Adventures of an Indian Techie” is a satire comedy that captures many humorous and sometimes unfortunate situations every techie has faced in his/her professional life. Taking pot-shots at the various daily ‘adventures’ of an average techie, the book is a simple, short read laced with generous dollops of wit and humour. For the non-techies, this book gives a sneak peek into the happenings within those fancy corporate buildings. For the techies, the adventures mentioned in the book are as relatable as their daily chores.
Not everyone gets to achieve the ambitions and work in a job that they had always wanted to do. The same is true in the IT industry. According to the author, there are two kinds of IT employees, and he calls them the ‘916 techies’ and the ‘1-gram techies’. While the first kind is the hardcore techies who eat, sleep and breathe technology, the latter just work to earn a living. He gives them an attribute of being ‘talk-nologists’ instead of being technologists, and the protagonist is one amongst them.
The Adventures of an Indian Techie goes on to describe how, this trickster techie, using talk-nology as an advantage, bluffs, lies and outwits other people to make his career in this industry. The book, in other words, is a confession of whatever he has done and seen and unearthing everything he has witnessed. It is an uncut and unrated version of what he has to say.
