Chennai to Seattle : My Tale of 2 Cities




My Tale of 2 Cities, is a fictional collection of incidents and adventures in these two cities where a bunch of IT professionals spent the initial days of their career. No offence or disrespect is meant to the classic literary novel "A Tale of Two Cities" here.
Unlike that classic literary novel written at the backdrop of the French Revolution, this collection is written at the backdrop of the "IT Revolution" seen during the first decade of the millennium. This follows the adventures of a group of friends during some of the significant events (as well as some not so significant events) seen in these two cities.
Beneath the mask of corporate glamor, the collection explores the inner journey of a group of college freshers scaling up to their corporate life.
