Summary
Quickly he threw off his schoolbag, swallowed his lunch... Bouncing expertly the ball on his bat, with his school shirt intact - collar up, half hanging out of his half-pants - Romi, looking no better than a street urchin, merrily marched on towards the maidan..
Unruly, restless and impulsive, all of thirteen years, Romi is the hero of his world. And sharing his great affinity for adventure and the unknown are his three friends - the rascal Sukhi, the deadpan Sunny and the naïve Golu. There is never a dull moment for the four in the school, or in the maidan where most of their life is spent battling for their dream of lifting the Eagle - the annual Inter-school Cricket Championship.
Set in the laidback, idyllic town of Mauji, this is the story of Romi's journey from a spirited, reckless town boy to a disciplined young man. A poignant tale of loss and triumph, Run Romi Run is a reminder of the unaffected dreams of childhood, and the lost child in all of us.
