The Bluest Marble
Aditya is known as Ram Kumar 125 - a name given to amnesiac patients in a 'Mental Hospital'. He doesn't have amnesia; he just doesn't want to go back to the world he knew before. His inmates include: UT - the brilliant former CEO, Rajesh - software engineer and Jacky - Doctor in theoretical physics. Amongst these 'crazies' Ram Kumar 125 discovers himself, the true Aditya, and the secret of happiness. He finds the mysterious and precious "bluest marble" he has been unconsciously looking for all his life. With portraits that both touch and disturb, corporate politics, Mumbai nightlife, Dalal Street, lower-middle-class Delhi and psychological "illness", The Bluest Marble is a sensitive exploration of young urban aspirations and angst in the age of economic turmoil.
