About This Book
Sampath Chawla was born in a time of drought that ended with a vengeance
the night of his birth. All signs being auspicious, the villagers
triumphantly assured Sampath's proud parents that their son was destined
for greatness.
Twenty years of failure later, that unfortunately does not appear to be
the case. A sullen government worker, Sampath is inspired only when in
search of a quiet place to take his nap. "But the world is round," his
grandmother says. "Wait and see! Even if it appears he is going
downhill, he will come up the other side. Yes, on top of the world. He
is just taking a longer route." No one believes her until, one day,
Sampath climbs into a guava tree and becomes unintentionally famous as a
holy man, setting off a series of events that spin increasingly out of
control. A delightfully sweet comic novel that ends in a raucous bang,
Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard is as surprising and entertaining as it
is beautifully wrought.
