The More Things Change - Part 2:Paradise Gained

In the send part of this four-part series (see introduction to 'TMTC-Pt.1: Innocence Lost'), Dev travels to America to find the pot of gold that sits at the end of every rainbow on the horizon in that great country. What he discovers instead is that: the more one approaches the horizon, the further away it moves. There are many interesting characters he meets. Two of them, Ashok Chandra and John Bogermille, have a significant impact on the trajctory of this novel. The restless prodigal eventually returns home – to a truism in life that greedy mortals do not recognize till it is too late – that all that glitters is not gold. This is also a story about the aspirations and hopes of two other children of modern India - one a 'Touch Artist' and the other, a diary writer - interleaved into the main story of Dev Kumar.
