Together, they decide to explore the realm of people’s fantasies, giving birth to his first compelling character. Rajaram, a struggling writer deemed dull and scorned by publishers who declared he’d never find readers, seeks solace in a conversation with his closest friend. He served as the solitary mentor guiding boys through their journey to manhood, his tantalizing tales igniting the imagination and fantasies of countless young minds. One tale, perhaps familiar or unknown to us, is that of Mastram, the iconic writer of his era, who fluently spoke the language of the Hindi heartland, both literally and figuratively.
