ABOUT THE BOOK
Sometimes, under the weight of other people's expectations from us, we forget who we truly are and what we want from our lives. Same was the case with this young boy, Vikki, who tries so hard to live up to his namesake. Vikki is a teenager with a brilliant mind and a kind heart. He is a foodie, a die-hard Bollywood fan and, most important of all, he is a great friend. So, what will he do when a friend in need comes to him for help? To what extent will he go to save him?
Read the debut novel of Ram Halady to find out, and be ready to be moved by this endearing, coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of Bangalore in the '70s.
