Babu Chathur (pseudonym) is an expatriate UK resident of Indian (Madras) origin, now living in Chathur and locally called ‘Writer Babu.’ An economist in London, he found himself in Chathur* looking for his ancestral home and landed property which he bequeathed from an obscure uncle. Initially, he intended to dispose of all his properties and return back to the UK. However, he later changed his mind and stayed back in Chathur, to write his memoirs, when he fell in love with Geetha, his uncle’s adopted daughter. The love affair landed him in a huge scandal and he was forced to flee back to the UK, out of shame. Upon returning, he wrote about the bitter experiences he had with certain individuals from Chathur, who were part of the said scandal. This was published under the title Big Frogs of the Small Well of Chathur—by Authors Online. Around two and a half years later, the people of Chathur realized their folly and welcomed him back with open arms. Subsequent events and his unique experiences were recorded and published under the title Big Frogs of the Small Well of Chathur–Part 2which was also published by Authors Online.
*Chathur is a small fictional village located somewhere along the border between the three states: Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
