In this debut book, Robert calls out to the hesitant senior traveller with encouragement and caution. With the aid of trains, planes and Tuk-Tuks, this senior traveller approaches his seventieth year fuelled with the energy and wonder of his inner child. Full of self- belief, a small pinch of common sense and a huge ego, his adventure to India proves to be a humbling, hilarious, hazardous, and often, emotional experience. Gradually, as his adventure unfolds, his ego momentarily weakens and fleeting glimpses of his true nature manifests itself, though sometimes painfully. This process has been called ‘finding oneself’, however as the saying goes, the more one finds out the less one knows.

‘I should introduce myself now. My name is Abir Ganguly. I work for a tabloid in Bombay called The Afternoon Mail. I am 23. I masturbate 11 times a day. I exaggerate frequently, as in the last sentence.’ When crime reporter Abir Ganguly is called out by the police to cover a routine arrest one night, the last thing he expects is a shootout. But bullets are fired, and a man is dead. Did the cops screw up? Abir’s boss, not knowing that he was at the scene of the crime, wants him to file a story about the victim. For this, he must meet Muneeza, aka Sancho, the dead man's teenage daughter. Over the days, an unlikely friendship forms between the glib, wisecracking ‘armchair cynic’ and the simple girl who ‘travels on buses’. Can their fragile relationship survive the circumstances that brought them together? More importantly, can it survive the machinations of the jealous lizard that shares Abir’s flat?
