Keep Off the Grass

HarperCollins Publishers India, 2008. Softcover. Condition: New. What do you do when you are a twenty-five-year-old Yale graduate making half-a-million dollars a year as a hotshot investment banker on Wall Street? You bust your ass and become a millionaire by thirty, of course. Not if you are Samrat Ratan, born in the USA to immigrant Indian parents; you quit and enrol in business school in India instead. Samrat`s rollercoaster journey begins at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Bangalore, where he spends his time getting high on marijuana while his grades â " and self-confidence â " plummet. Soon, Samrat`s quest for identity turns increasingly bizarre as it takes him places he hadn`t planned on visiting â " prison, for example â " and makes him do things he hadn`t banked on doing: `meditating` stoned with a sexy Danish hippie in the Himalayas, hanging out with a cannibal on the banks of the Ganga, and peddling soap to the formidable Raja Bhaiya in Benares.
