The Final Cut is a kaleidoscope of the lives of two strangers, one 22 and the other 18. They meet per chance. They meet again, this time for keeps, and explore the joys of living an uncharted life together, unfazed by conventional social norms then or since. It’s a journey through the uncertain late forties, the penny-pinching days in the fifties, the schools of life in the early sixties and the ups and downs of living in Calcutta, Bombay, Delhi and London, cushioned by executive privileges in multi-national corporations in the seventies and eighties. Nomadic instincts resurface in the nineties. They join the ranks of backpacking hitch hikers, albeit dressed in flannels and blazers, checking into cheap lodgings in the back alleys of cities big and small in Europe, North and South America. The very ‘ unique’ insights they get into the cultures across the world, over many cups of wine in cafes and bars, from colourful ‘locals’ should make an interesting, if not fascinating, read. Back into the conventional life, the early Millennium years go in a whirl, alas a little too fast.
