Description
In the bustling heart of Mumbai, a retired schoolteacher named Yogesh A. Murthy, known affectionately as Masterji, finds himself the sole resident unwilling to sell his apartment. A wealthy developer has set his sights on the building, promising a lucrative buyout to its inhabitants, but Masterji stands firm against the tide of greed and ambition. As his neighbors succumb to the allure of profit, Masterji becomes an unlikely symbol of resistance, facing mounting pressure and the unraveling of his community. This gripping novel masterfully explores themes of avarice, integrity, and the profound human cost of unchecked development in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
