Agastya Sen, known to friends by the English name August, is a child of the Indian elite. His friends go to Yale and Harvard. August himself has just landed a prize government job. The job takes him to Madna, the hottest town in India, deep in the sticks. There he finds himself surrounded by The Railway Man free ebook incompetents and cranks, time wasters, bureaucrats, and crazies. What to do?
