Indrajit has tried to capture the days of his professional life with IBM as a Systems Engineer (1971-78) in this book. The book is written in a diary format, and it is in many ways a document of his personal memories and reflections. It includes details of the technology that IBM marketed in India in the 1970s, in particular the Punched card Unit record machines and the IBM 1401 computer system. He reminisces about the deep bond that he had developed with his peers and his customers, the travels that took him within his territory to meet with those customers, and describes many delightful stories and anecdotes from his life while working in IBM during those magical days of his youth. Indrajit has also documented in this book the reasons for IBM’s decision to phase out their business from India, and the circumstances and events leading up to their exit.
