The story revolves around Pandey Anil Kumar Sinha (PAKS), who comes to Delhi, with some dreams of his own and some borrowed from his clerk father.

An interesting read. Language is simple yet flawless. The narrative is a bit slow-paced. Sometimes PAKS action make you smile, sometime it will make you angry about his ignorance and stupidity. But you will not stop yourself from falling in love with Innocent PAKS, by the end of the novel.
The description of Biharis maybe make you feel like you are watching a biased movie but being set in the ’90s, I guess its reality of that time.
A fabulous read!
