Satish Badgi’s novel IT’S A Story is a splendid novel that talks about the life of people through stories from the Information Technology (IT) sector. Since 90s IT was a sunrise sector. Some people saw it growing from nascent to robotics and this novel takes us to some those people. In all its glory, the novel is worth time and money. In this article, we are patronizing this novel as why you must try this book.

1. Based on IT People

IT means Information Technology. This novel is staged against the mighty IT sector of India and some foreign countries like the USA. The novel’s timeline stretches from late 1980s up till now. It means that the author took an extensive range of the IT field.

The novel takes a dig as what kind of jobs and struggle go to live that IT or American dream, the sector looks promising but there also lurks danger of losing family, dignity, and constant client pressure and industry update keep the IT people on tenterhooks. On one hand, it presents overseas travel to job sites and fast money than any other field, but at the same time it’s fragile too. Like other fields, it too demands long race horses, not pony.

2. Human Stories are Same Everywhere

When the lead guy Vinod joined the IT field as a computer consulting, he had no idea that he will be settled abroad comfortably with his family. But between that Mumbai local to lavish life in the USA, he had to tussle with his aspirations, growth cravings, startup failure, and much more. He comes across many people who jump the ship at the first opportunity. So, whether it is an IT field or the USA, people always look for growth and fulfilling of their professional aspirations. The last story of Makrand meeting his girlfriend in a union testifies that careers seek sacrifices. A lot gets left behind in the rat race of IT. Pink Slip is another emotional story from the field, it depicts the dark side of a relationship, it fails to go ahead due to one partner’s failure in the field. It is an eye-opener book, not just a journal from the IT guy.

3. Overall Feel of the Book is Lovely

The novel is lengthy, almost 500 pages on Kindle. Surprisingly, you will not feel the pinch for two reasons: first that it’s written in simple language, and secondly, it has a great story to tell to the mass. For IT and non-IT people, the book appeals to both. It has that innocent and charm that makes the simple-looking stories great and tall. Apart from its storyline, the pace of the novel is brilliant. Those who are associated with the IT field will surely find it a pain reliever. This book may actuate millions to write their story. The USP of the novel is that the author kept it simple, even there are many characters.

In nutshell, IT’S A Story by Satish Badgi is an impressive book from head to toe. If you are looking for some terrific read related to the lives of IT people, I think you should consider reading this book. IT may be a big field but the author wonderfully captured their emotional values and propositions between personal and professional life.
