Matter for debate
Harihar Arora: second generation north Indian in Madras, museum curator, indifferent father, indulgent husband – and thief. Beneath the deceptively simple surface of a story about an ordinary man in a rather extraordinary fix are questions about the workings of karma, causality and the power of art that offer profound matter for debate.
