IntroductionFobbin Tom is a mad jack-of-all-trades trapped in a sloth’s body. A late bloomer, he muffled the roar of his genius and compromised his passions for the approval of morons who can’t say the difference between art and horseshit. He lives in Aluva - a clot of ugly government buildings, houses and proud, short-tempered people around the National Highway 47. Fobbin loves painting and fancies himself a painter. His ambition is to paint the way no one has ever done. Though so far he has not been accused of startling originality, the day is not far when people would stop and look at his paintings that look like nothing they have ever seen before. Van Gogh, Grunewald, Cranach, Chagall and Picasso are among those he admires. He also enjoys reading, though he hasn’t read much. He likes Dostoevsky and Garcia Marquez. Seamus Heaney’s ‘Blackberry Picking’ is his favourite poem. In popular music he loves Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Kenny Rogers, Bruce Springsteen and Kishore Kumar. In classical music he admires the grandness of Beethoven as well as the heart-tearing piety of Kishori Amonkar.
