Pyramid of Virgin Dreams
It all begins with the bumpy Jonga ride in the woods—hischildhood illegal poaching expedition under the patronage of a band of idlecops, to bring in a full partridge and half-a-black-buck to conjure up thedinner for his father's boss. That day, eight-year-old Kartikeya Kukrejasolemnly swears that one day he too would be revered as ‘IAS’.
Kartikeya eventually discovers the secret of his father'sfawning subordinates’ wriggling their way up the pyramid. When it is his turn,Kartikeya himself experiences a similar hilarious predicament. Idiotically, hesees time rush by through a lifetime spent in inanities, and all but feels likethe redundant antique table that moves out with him on his every transfer!
The web of Revati’s elusive dreams tantalises him, and hiswife and children bring him back to the real world. Will he juggle the twowell, or lose himself in it forever?
Pyramid of Virgin Dreams is a refreshingly originalrendition of the slippery life in the bureaucracy. The book is spunky andreplete with comical imageries drawn from a farcical, albeit hopeful India.
