Mumbai, a city of organised chaos is gearing up for Ganesh Visarjan. The city thrives on the chaos, but today is an exception.
Inspector Abhay is responsible for rerouting and managing the traffic in the Worli area.
On visarjan day, Abhay wakes up to a phone call and what follows is the worst day of his life. The Worli area is in a state of chaos with a chain of incidents — an accident, a major terrorist plot is busted leading to a red alert in the city, a fire in a high-rise building, a desolate dilapidated building collapse, a teenager is fighting for his life as a consequence of drug OD, a drug peddler is forced to loot a bank, Gaitonde — the dreaded Mumbai gangster is shot dead by Abhay on live TV, a father— son relation blossoms after years of status quo, a serial killer is finally nabbed and the western suburbs of Mumbai comes to a grinding halt as vehicles pile up in a traffic jam with towering Ganesh idols waiting endlessly for their chance at immersion.
Inspector Abhay tries his best to attend to the incidents as it unfolds one after the other. A tiring day comes to an end and he had seen the worst of it, so he thought, but there was more and the day culminates in the worst twist that he could have envisaged.
And what’s more bizarre, is that every incident is an indirect consequence of a harmless butterfly flapping its wings in Australia — The Butterfly Effect.
Sunil Menon
Sunil Menon is a 1972 born B.E Graduate from Bombay University. After seventeen years of being caught up in the rat-race, he called it quits. He renounced his career in IT, left Dubai and landed in Bangalore to focus inward.
A personal tragedy led to incessant thoughts, which led him to reflect on the meaning of life, and what followed thereafter was his first book – MOH – The Illusions of Life.
The author considers his first book as a stepping stone into the literati world. And with Doctor Monk, his second book, the author ventured into the limitless world of fiction writing. The art of writing without boundaries and yet there were certain boundaries to be maintained for the story to make sense and grip the reader.
Doctor Monk was appreciated by all those who read it and the embedded message was well received. However, the author is ‘yet’ unknown in the literati world were books are churned by the dime and dozen and therefore the response to Doctor Monk has been cold. It did not deter the author from taking up the challenge of writing something entirely different to his previous books.
The Blue Diamond of Amanapore, his third is available currently only in the e-book form. A print version is around the corner. The story was an out-and-out suspense action thriller and the handful of readers who got their hands on it, loved the characters and the suspense.
With Blame it on the Butterfly, the author has tried his hand at a bizarre theme. The reader’s response is much awaited.
Sunil is a passionate photographer with about two thousand stock images uploaded on a popular stock image website. His images are sold all around the world through this stock site. Being a foodie to the core, he loves cooking up gourmet treats.
Sunil lives with his ten-year-old son Akshan in Bangalore.
