The novel gets more absorbing now that we meet the parliamentarian Anil, but it is jumping about a good bit - Raju seems to have dropped out of the novel completely. And Sunita`s potential love interest was another red herring. Lets see what Chapter 4 brings.

This is a fascinating plot line. Sort of Huxley meets Mistry. If this is still a work in progress, I would suggest fewer perspective shifts. They can jar you out of the story if too numerous.

I imagine Raju will be fleshed out in Chapter 2.

Thats just my personal quibble. Some great ideas in there. I too, look forward to seeing how this will develop.

Hi Quinten,

This was excellent. But maybe we should have a prologue so we can see what the big pictuyre is about ie. where it is going.

Anyway, dont delay next chapter.

Regards.
