| Summary |
Ajatashatru "Aja" Lavash, a street magician and trickster who tricks people into believing that he possesses special magic powers, has lived all his life in a small Mumbai neighborhood. After his mother's untimely death, he sets off on a journey to find his estranged father in Paris with a fake EUR 100 note. There, he meets a woman named Marie Riviere whom he initially swindles, but is quickly attracted to her personality. Aja then experiences a series of wide-ranging adventures around the world, initially in an IKEA wardrobe to London, England, then a Louis Vuitton suitcase to Rome, Italy, and a hot air balloon to a ship heading to Tripoli, Libya, while being pursued by Parisian taxi-driver Gustave Palour, whom he swindled out of a cab fare back in Paris. Along the way, he befriends a Somalian man named Wiraj, an illegal immigrant whom he met on the way to London. |
