A brave new life lies ahead! He's 23, educated, good-looking - a real Star of India. What can possibly stand in his way? Disillusion sets in. The Mother Country is a hostile place in which non-whites are not welcome. But the kindness of strangers helps Ravi to walk tall - and after six days of sleeping rough, his luck changes, for the Indian Magic curry house is recruiting for a dishwasher ...Wily boss, Mr Gokul Swami, immediately sees Ravi's potential, and much to the disgust of the other staff, treats him like a son. Meanwhile, Ravi's new best friend Bish is eager to indoctrinate the naive young man into the pleasures of alcohol and Swedish au pairs. Before long, all the promises he made to his mother in Simla have been broken again and again - and yes, again. When Ravi falls in love - deeply and forever - life takes a more dangerous turn. For the girl in question is the English Rose next door, and her father is unhinged. Anything could happen - and it does.Packed with adventure and humour, endlessly entertaining, INDIAN MAGIC is a slice of 1960s life, served with a twist of lemon by our likeable hero, Ravi. London's dodgy streets are very different from Simla's peaceful hills. Fog, Teddy Boys and nuns are just some of the challenges the young man must confront - for the natives here are really rather restless!
