M for Misfit

Zoey Verma, Third Ranker from
the Bottom and Virtually-Unemployable, has managed to land a job! Management
trainee and first-time employee in the fridge-manufacturing giant J & K
Ltd, Zoey is clueless about where her life is headed. She has barely managed
to pass out of B-school when fate pushes her into another whirlpool. And, a
look at her own fridge will confirm that she has no fascination for them. The
tall, thin, frizzy-haired Zoey enters J & K shaky-legged. And, when her
scary boss Wimpeater sends her to the company’s seedy Delhi branch to map all
the consumer durable outlets in the city, her life goes into overdrive.
Chances of it stabilizing seem slimmer by the day as she dodges gaalis from
the Delhi boss, Chhota Don and fends off lecherous looks from distributor
Shady Singh, all the while evading her clingy ex, Velcro Man. Then, just as
she finds herself on the brink of a nervous breakdown, she is sent back to
Mumbai. The move turns out to be a plunge from frying pan into the fire as Zoey
becomes a victim of dipping sales and growing slurs, forcing her to ask
questions so existential, even Kafka would be impressed Read on to find out
how Zoey finds her way back to what she wants, both personally and
professionally.
