Former tiffinboy Ram Mohammad Thomas has just got twelve questions
correct on a TV quiz-show to win a cool one billion rupees. But he
is brutally slung in prison on suspicion of cheating. Because how
can a kid from the slums know who Shakespeare was, unless he is
pulling a fast one. In the order of the questions on the show, Ram
tells us which amazing adventures in his street-kid life gave him
the answers. From orphanages to brothels, gangsters to
beggar-masters, and into the homes of Bollywood's rich and famous,
Ram's story is brimming with the chaotic comedy, heart-stopping
tragedy and tear-inducing joyousness of modern India.
