Journal Entry 1 by veleta from Willesden, Greater London United Kingdom on Sunday, August 15, 2010
Munna’s name means “boy” so people make stupid comments about him not having a proper name. He is in his office when he starts writing a series of letters to China’s premier who is about to visit India. On it, he wants to answer about the question which the premier wants to have answered: how one almost illiterate man can become a successful entrepreneur.
Munna’s education at a country school is cut short when he starts working as a driver for a very important local family who governs his hometown with an iron fist. As one of the sons is returning from the USA, they’ll need another chauffeur. His job includes many more things apart from driving, like giving foot massages to the patriarch, who he calls the Mongoose. He feels attached to the son of that man, a young man who seems a little bit honest and is married to a wild American girl.
Something happens, and Munna’s realisation that the saying “same father same son” applies absolutely to this case will change his way of looking into things, and little by little he starts to devise a plan of his own.
