Synopsis:
The twenty-first century is the age of the electronic image. From every corner of the world, electronic images fling themselves at us, entertaining, educating, enticing, offering us a virtual world of global dimensions to immerse ourselves in. The very notion of a private self seems threatened by this onslaught from outside. But suppose the most vociferous of these images were one's own?

Manjula Nayak is a not very successful Kannada short-story writer. Suddenly she becomes wealthy and internationally famous by writing a bestseller in English. The question haunting Manjula is whether, in thus opting for the global audience, she has betrayed her own language and identity. A little-known face in Karnataka, she has now acquired an international image - and inherited problems of loyalty and betrayal.

And, without warning, it's her own image that decides to play confessor, psychologist and inquisitor.
