Chennai To Chicago: Memoir of a software engineer by Sriram Ramakrishnan
4.0
Chennai To Chicago by Sriram Ramakrishnan.
This book talks about the dreams and life of a 90's kid who was raised in an illusion that going abroad will make his life better, and I must agree there was something like that back then, still there in some places.
The language used in the book was lucid and engaging, and the author has penned down all the experiences he had in his life in a very detailed way that one could actually imagine everything very vividly.
Since it is a memoir, according to the guess and expectations of a reader, everything is very close to reality.
This book also had its own moments that were equally funny and also sad at times that could make you giggle and sigh.
Any good that's too much is not that good either, and that's what happened in the case of this book as well. Details are great. But too much detailing could get boring sometimes. I personally felt this could have been a little shorter, I felt it was dragged in some places.
Do I recommend this book?
Yes, people who loves to get nostalgic about those 90's and people's idea of shifting abroad and enjoys reading detailing writing can give this book a try. You'll enjoy it.
