The Boy Who Was Left Behind is a story for all ages. Vimal lives with his grandmother. His parents who are NRIs - non-resident Indians – leave him with his grandmother when he is two. Vimal grows up in Jaipur, happy and secure in the loving care of his grandmother. His parents are a blurred memory made up from short visits. When Vimal is eight, a phone call in the night turns his world topsy-turvy. His grandmother leaves him with relatives and goes to London. Once again, Vimal is left behind – this time with a secret that is too big for a young boy.
