Am I the only one who thought this tale reminiscent of Douglas Adams. Wry humour. Surreal. Hell, I was even envisioning an Indian version of Discworld.

A nagin. I’m butchering the language & spelling. A serpent. “A fearful king, is a formal king”. There are SO MANY other truisms, THIS is good stuff.

The nested format was perfectly crafted and was like nice flaky layers of roti. Excellent all around.

P.S. I still want a Bollywood Kaiju film adaptation of Lord of Light. But I would also be happy with an adaptation of this story.
