Dalal's Street': Of finance, dark humour, relationships!

The toll that people have to pay in high pressure jobs in broker companies, the violence and the threats to life that this business of money transactions and virtual gambling entails and the mental games that are played out at every level form the basis of a new novel "Dalal's Street".

Four young friends graduate from a mediocre business school and are attracted to jobs in a high paying trading company. They are smart, hardworking and ambitious, especially Varun Aggarwal, who is desperate to break out of his middle class life.

Anil is happy-go-lucky, Pooja has strong values and beliefs and Devika sails through life on her attractive personality. But will they succeed in the high pressure jobs in the fast paced, hyper competitive world of stock broking, where money talks, greed is a virtue and success is worshipped? And at what cost?
