The Raja of Mumbai

Summary:

Chanda needs a way to get out. But in order to do that, he must find a human to do the work for him. Chanda decides to put his trust on Arun Agrawal, Ajit Prasad's son. To relieve the stress of preparing for his studies at Harvard, Arun becomes the first Indian to buy the Optimus VR goggles, which opens up an opportunity for Chanda to showcase a reality that has yet to be discovered.

Notes:

In The Kalkiyana, Ajit Prasad's full name is Ajit Prasad Agrawal, while his son's name is Arun Nikhil Agrawal, making both of them Marwari.

Images generated with Midjourney, with some edits. The Hindi phrase that was shouted is in romanized letters because they speak Hinglish.

I used Midjourney for the background. V5 is amazing, don't you think?

I also changed Hamsa's outfit design.

Speaking of Hamsa, Hamsa is Vishvakarma's avian friend. There's been a debate on whether Hamsa is a goose or a swan, which is why I'm not specifying what kind of bird Hamsa is.

"Lakh" means a hundred thousand.

Also, from now on I'm going to use CommonCanvas for AI image needs. I want the virtual world to (mostly) be distinct from the embodied world, so I wanted to use AI image models to convey that. I find that CommonCanvas may be the best one to use, since it's trained on Creative Commons images.
