Synopsis:
It was Jawaharlal Nehru who changed the name of a small town, Durjanpur,
to Sajjanpur, and that was about all the change that had occurred there
since then. The town still lacks adequate infrastructure, no safe
drinking water; in a 24 hour period, electricity is out for almost 23
hours, and most people, even though they own mobile phones, cannot speak
or write English. One of the residents, who does speak and write
English fluently, Mahadev Kuswah, lives with his mother, and both run a
small fresh vegetable store after his dad abandoned them when he was
very young. He has since obtained a degree from Satna University, and
assists residents with written correspondence for a fee. Amongst his
clients are Man Singh - who wants his homicidal wife to stand for the
Municipal elections; a eunuch, Munnibai Mukhrani, who also to stands for
elections; a snake charmer who is trying to make a living with fake
snakes and is trying to locate his father; Ram Kumar, who is in love
with a widow, Shobha.
