Set in recession times, on the backdrop of the most respected IT company in India, SYSINFO, A Coder’s Cocktail promises to take you on an epic tale of friendship and betrayal, of love and office politics traversing on its way the gloomy shades of today’s youth to the age old struggles of seeking to answer the dark side of being a man. When the circumstances play truth and dare with the morality of my hero SJ, when his best friends are fired from the company courtesy recession...
Coder’s Cocktail takes him on a journey where he rediscovers all that was hidden under the bed sheet of his bachelor wants and sleeping conscience; he discovers his true self!
