| Keep off the Grass |
|
In the preface to this unlikely, often remarkable story, former Wall Street investment banker Samrat Ratan seems to have wound up in an Indian prison, high on grass, being punished for uncertain crimes. Explaining why he decided to leave his financially rewarding life as a Wall Street investment banker to enroll in India's best business management school, Ratan says that he "couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling that I was living an imitation of life which didn't seem completely mine-courting air-headed Broadway actresses, dining in pretentious French restaurants where burgers are called miniature brioche buns, and gushing over musicals and arty movies which I didn't enjoy." Samrat has given up his career to attend the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore, the alma mater of Asok, the character in Scott Adams's comic strip "Dilbert." It's well worth following Ratan on his journey from New York's high life to incarceration in India |
