Sidin Vadukut's Book Reading

Today, on the final day of Vista 2010, lit-geeks and humour-freaks assembled for Sidin Vadukut' book reading session, in front of the IIMB mess.


For those not in the knowing, Sidin Vadukut is one of India's top bloggers and the managing editor of Mint. Sidin did his schooling in Abu Dhabi, then obtained a degree in engineering from NIT Trichy. He did his post-graduation in IIMA, received an offer from a day-zero consulting firm, which he ditched for a career in journalism. Sidin also writes a popular blog at www.whatay.com. It's a hilarious blog with a huge following. Also, quite recently, Sidin wrote his first book, Dork : The amazing adventures of Robin Einstein Varghese.


And with his self-deprecating brand of humour, make us laugh he did. A style that is difficult to replicate here and which won't even sound good, so I'm not trying! But in short he answered several questions that the host (Shri Praveen Gopalkrishnan of the IIMB Media Cell) posed - including the monetary difficulties in his 'chosen path' (reaching the top of Maslow's Pyramid ... now isn't that something all we MBAs want?), what he feels about his own book etc. etc. 


And in the end, Sidin read out some bits from his novel... and yes we can vouch that this will be a good buy :)
Sidin Vadukut will be speaking at the Media Conclave in the Open Air Theater at 5:00 p.m. today... be there!
