Summary
Ayyan Mani is a lowly assistant to a brilliant astronomer called Arvind Acharya. He dreams of a better life - far away from the crowded slums of Mumbai, where his wife can escape their jaundice-yellow walls and his ten-year-old son has a leg up to all the opportunities he deserves. So, he weaves an outrageous fiction around his son to make him famous. (It will be their little secret.) Arvind also dreams - of love and success - so he can't believe his luck when his wife goes away and he is free to have an illicit affair with a beautiful woman. But will love distract Arvind from his last shot at success as he tries to convince his fellow scientists that microscopic aliens are falling to earth?
