COLD STEEL

Well i just finished this heck of a thriller(although I knew the ending, whats the big deal.everybody knows)COLD STEEL the multi billion dollar fight for Arcelor by Laxmi Mittal. I really enjoyed the novel and its like an outside view of what an investment banker's role is.
I always thought that I want to be one of them but after going through i now begin to understand what kind of life it is.

However the best thing about the novel is that illustrates the importance of communication and listening in life. Mittal's skills as a communicator and listener are greatly highlighted. More often than not we tend to look at the hype surrounding big M & As. But we really surprised to know that more than the hype and media its the small things that matter. And people like Mr Mittal take care of the smallest details.......

Surprizingly we all know this and yet get swayed by the brand names!!!!! and foolisly believe that they can do no wrong. They forget to ask the basic questions. The moment you
see a big brand name you tend to think its correct.Take care of the smallest details wether u deal with big brands or small. Bcoz u never know????????
