It is the preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else that prevents us from living freely and nobly.
― Bertrand Russell
For other people, Dohan Choudhury is just a weird Bangladeshi immigrant halfway to lunacy as he throws away every opportunity. He is unemployed, he hates businessmen and pawnbrokers, he makes fun of the police, he talks to rivers and trees, and he burns money.
At least, that is what Dohan is in a glance.
The truth is Dohan Choudhury is an idealist who is also a loving husband, a doting father, a poet and writer, and a highly educated man who finished his PhD in Columbia University. He is a man full of dreams, aspirations, ideals, and hopes he was so optimistic to use when he landed in America... until the rampant capitalism, oppressive materialism, pro-American objectivism, tyrannical stereotyping, and severe alienation sucked out all the positivity in Dohan's life. In a few years, these negativities defining the world poisoned Dohan's mind, heart and soul... along with his relationship with his family and relatives who are all corrupted by money and high reputation.
Will Dohan be able to free himself from the veil of pretension and greed in the society, or will he succumb to the devils of worldly possessions... just like how everybody else did?
