About the Book

Have you ever met a good-for-nothing person? Say hello to Krishna, a Brahmin by birth, who leaves his home Madai, a quaint hamlet in Chhattisgarh plateau, at the age of 32 with no goal to pursue. Pure hearted, his scant-educated mind is muddled with the invisible walls of religion, caste, and creed. Jobless and ambitionless, everyone thinks he is good for nothing. In come his eventful associations with Jamil—a fellow vendor, Shivani—a widow, Ankur—a young entrepreneur, and Shambhu—a tribal youth and social reformer. Barriers are broken, things are learned and unlearned, and a transformation begins. Does Krishna become any good? And, does the world change its opinion?
