At forty-three, Hucky's life is torn apart. He's jilted (his young
lover doesn't fancy him anymore), jobless (his boss wants him to
take a break and recharge), totally messed up, and is battling the
blues. Since nostalgia is therapeutic, he decides to pen a book on
his fun-drenched salad days at Defcoms, a Bangalore-based medical
college that churns out doctors for the armed forces. He recalls a
journey pulsating with adventure, ragging, grueling regimen,
romance, road trips rustication, dares, foreigner babes, power
politics, drug addiction, gang warfare, academic gloominess,
comical events, draconian rules, a Zen master, philosophy,
God-consciousness and rebellion. What's more, the delightful campus
romp is energised by an eccentric genius, an avid bettor, two
brawny dudes, a war cry shouter, a planner of wild schemes (all
part of the 'Maniacs' gang), and a few mushy lovers who make life
unbelievably colourful. Seen through the right prism of seven
maverick minds, it's as psychedelic a journey as the LSD trips
Hucky loves. Just when he' getting numbed again by melancholy,
Hucky and Paddy, a nephew he's shacking up with, drink a death
cocktail, meet God, and find their lives racing towards a magical,
delightful new beginning.
