Simon Saha obviously has a lot of fun hearing about and discussing the various complications of being an Indian Software Engineer. What he has created her is a little novella about the trials and tribulations about being in the computer industry, rising in management, taking assignments in the USA but returning to India and to the more difficult challenges of relationships!  It makes for a fun read, especially when you catch the drift of his writing style.He closes his book with the following:  `At times my wife becomes emotional about my work. Once she was proud to be an SE's wife. But today, she sympathisizes herself for being married to an SE. `Oh Dear!! You have such a hard life. I wish you were not a Software Engineer.' In my journey as an SE I faced a number of issues and I solved them successfully. However, as relationships are not logical, they are difficult to solve.  But then we are all SE's, the ones who can adjust to any situation and solve any problem.  I am sure; I will be able to Debug it one day.'We'll likely hear more form this author. He has an uncanny sense of balancing career expectations in India and the US and how to find a life that is not only manageable but rewarding - and has a clever way of conveying this.
