Synopsis
Mediocre But Arrogant is the story of being young in India. It is about the roller coaster life in a B-School with glimpses of hostel life, grades, chai at the dhaba and, not least, being in love. The story follows the life of the protagonist, Abbey who lands an MBA course at a topnotch B-School, the Management Institute of Jamshedpur, after three years of college. At MIJ, Abbey finds his life turned upside down – what with professors like Haathi and Chatto, friends like Rascal Rusty and Pappu, and girls like Ayesha and Keya.
