In the shade of a banyan tree sits Margayva, self-styled advisor on the complex minor transactions which are an integral part of Indian life. Who else would you consult if you wanted a loan from the local Co-operative Bank?
But a scrape with officialdom in the form of an unplanned interview with the Bank’s Secretary – and a mishap which finds his spoilt son Balu throwing his accounts book down a drain – temporarily cuts short a lucrative career...
