Plot summary
In 1974, Anand Grover, called Annie, is repeating his fifth year at an architecture institute in New Delhi, his fourth attempt. He once got into trouble for mocking the principal, Y. D. Billimoria, whom everyone calls Yamdoot. Annie spends his hours in the hostel, dreaming up schemes for social uplift. His latest is to plant fruit trees beside the railway tracks, where the waste that rural India leaves there becomes compost for them, and sprinklers fitted to the trains water them. Two hens in his room bring him money from their eggs.
