Made in heaven, available now

“Married But Available”, the sequel to “Mediocre But Arrogant”, is now on the shelves

HarperCollins India and Crossword hosted the launch of “Married But Available” by Abhijit Bhaduri at Select City Walk mall, Saket, recently. It is a sequel to his debut novel “Mediocre But Arrogant”. The book traces the protagonist Abbey’s life, amid circumstances that catch him unawares.

The multifaceted Bhaduri, has illustrated several books and is an accomplished cartoonist too. He has a job with an IT major and has also hosted a popular radio show, Movie Magic, about classic Hindi movies and film music.

The storyline

The sequel was eagerly awaited by his readers. Commenting on the book, the author said, “The first 10 years are the most eventful in anybody’s working life. In the book they certainly are in the case of Abbey, who walks into a job at Balwanpur Industries, fresh from B-school and soon he discovers that working for HR (Human Resources) is great. But the fact is that there’s hardly anybody in the company who doesn’t have a view of who Abbey is and what Abbey does — or should do.”

The author adds to it “the complications of being newly married to a woman more successful than he is, a crusty boss, and a sudden turn in the company’s fortunes which catches Abbey unawares. And the rest is up to him now, to apply all that HR wisdom learnt in business school to the dilemmas confronting him at work and in love.”

Bhaduri also read extracts from the book at the ocassion.
