Sampath Chawla was born in a time of drought that ended with a vengeance the night of his birth. All signs being auspicious, the villagers triumphantly assured Sampath`s proud parents that their son was destined for greatness. Twenty years of failure later, that unfortunately does not appear to be the case. A sullen government worker, Sampath is inspired only when in search of a quiet place to take his nap. ” But the world is round”, his grandmother says. ” Wait & see! Even if it appears he is going downhill, he will come up the other side. Yes, on top of the world.
