Raghav Malhotra is a thirty-five year old, typical corporate worker, living his imperfect life. With a wife who is complaining without an end and a family that always disregards the MNC-employed son, Raghav's personal world is far from a paradise. To make things worse, work is torture courtesy his heartless boss. Without any surprise, Raghav climbs down the spiral of alcohol, drugs, women and lies in pursuit of peace and pleasure, living with a mysterious past that continues to haunt him. All of this, until one day, God Himself decides to intervene in Raghav's life through the arrival of a new-born baby. In all its purity and innocence, the baby pulls our disillusioned protagonist out of the clutches of a wretched life and teaches him the way to be happy. Children are regarded as God's truest representatives on Earth with hearts without any malice or impurity. In a world where kids are raised by adults who themselves live dissatisfied, unhappy lives, the story of this thirty-odd aged man being taught to refresh his view of life in and around him is a fresh read. Ketan Bhagat's fictional venture is a warm account of how the arrival of an infant spins around the world of a suffering father and fills his world with pure joy and wisdom. A story with which every adult can identify, 'Child/God' attempts to put forth to the readers the truth about a child being the portrayal of God.
