Boy Man Patriot

Twenty-seven days metamorphose the ideologies and essence of living of a twenty-one-year-old boy Neev, when he sets on a unique journey to claim and sell all the properties of his father in various parts of the world.

Surprisingly, Neev is made aware of the existence of all such properties only after his father Raj Kapoor’s untimely demise, when he reads his father’s will. But along with the revelation of this fortune
named after him, the Will also discloses something else which leaves Neev appalled.

In his will, Raj decides to gift all his foreign properties to his son Neev only on one condition that Neev would be awarded those properties if he is capable enough to discover them. The location of the first property is mentioned in the will. Raj had a total of seven properties in Canada, United States of America, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, Russia and Spain. He had meticulously set clues in all the properties, for Neev to solve.

The first half of the book primarily delves into an inexplicable relationship of a father and son as well as Neev’s transformation from a brat to a gentleman.

The second part of the story depicts another journey of Neev wherein he starts working for his country India. Further self-introspection coaxes Neev to work towards fulfilling his late mother’s only wish to see her son do something recognizable for his country.

Coincidently, a high-profile undercover team working directly under the prime minister of India unearths Neev during the same time. The five-membered team named ‘the ph-factor’ eagerly needs a replacement for their counterpart. They select Neev after multiple layers of a hidden selection process and approach him. Neev ends up becoming the prime-minister’s closest confidante owing to the diligence with which he solves a plethora of cases handed over to him.

In the end, an accomplished gentleman and patriot, who despite being an orphan, ends up feeling
positive and content for the person he has become now. The prime minister's role is a treat to read and learn from as well.
