The title of this book might put a buyer off, sounding a bit dry and uninteresting, but look deeper.  The book explores a graduate student's motivations in studying for an MBA while giving readers a glimpse into life in India.  You must get used to a foreign writing style and phrasing, but give it a chance.  The main character, Revant worked at a high paying job for Amazon but wanted to improve himself.  He chose a one-year MBA course in Mumbai, India.I don't often highlight passages of books on my Kindle, but I found myself highlighting descriptions and interesting quotes from this book.  Although Revant is an older student, this book is a real coming-of-age tale.  He struggles with romance, the expectations of his family, and trying to decide what he wants from his education and from life.  It's both similar and different from our own experiences.  You'll find his conclusions insightful and valuable in modern-day life.  After finishing the book I thought his title describes it well.
