The title is the name of a compassionate second generation rickshaw driver struggling to make ends meet. At the other end of the economic spectrum is a jaded millionaire whom he befriends. When the rich man's heirs find out that their father has given everything to the rickshaw driver, plots and counter-plots are hatched. Moving and beautifully observed.
