Q and A

Ram Mohammad Thomas has been arrested. For answering twelve questions correctly on "Who Will Win A Billion?" Because a poor orphan who has n ever gone to school cannot name the smallest planet in the solar syste m, or the plays of Shakespeare. Unless he has cheated. Reviewing TV fo otage of the show, Ram tells us how he won, and takes us on an amazing tour of his life. From the day he is rescued from a dustbin, to his e ncounter with a security-crazed Australian colonel, and a spell as an over-creative guide at the Taj Mahal, Ram's survival instincts are inf allible. Stunning an audience of millions, he draws on a store of stre et wisdom and trivia to provide him with the essential keys, not only to the quiz show, but to life itself. Set in modern India, "Q & A" pre sents a kaleidoscopic vision of the struggle of good against evil, and what happens when one boy has no choice left in life but to survive.
