Rupee Millionaires
by Frank Kusy
Want to make a million? Be careful what you wish for ...
But it was a deal with the Devil. Spud proved to be a borderline psycho with only one aim in mind – to become a rupee millionaire. With a million, he believed, people would forget he was a small, fat plumber from Peckham and women would flock to his cash and shag him senseless.
Travelling to India, we picked up a motley crew of kooky characters - Ram, a lovable, crutch-bound Rajasthani, George, an irascible American, Nick and Anna, a quirky Canadian couple, Susie, a Dagenham girl gone 'native', and Rose, the secret love of Ram's life. These became the 'Pushkar Posse', a group of oddball traveller-entrepreneurs who met once a year to have fun and make money in equal measure.
But then Spud found a new reason for living.
He wanted me dead.
