About the Book

Based on true events, For No Reason at All captures the mood of the New Delhi administration, where its new, young prime minister must make a difficult decision. In a time when global trade borders are opening, the reputable Metkem Silicon and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, collaborate to produce silicon metal locally. But Anand Seshadri, the powerful head of the Department of Electronics pushes to import the technology from the US. The 'silicon metal controversy' erupts, and the prime minister must decide: Support Indian innovation? Or concede to foreign imports? When Seshadri takes drastic, underhanded measures to discredit Metkem Silicon, the task of countering him falls to Metkem's lobbyist--a young, adroit lobbyist named Adityan 'Solly' Nilla. Things get interesting when Solly receives an unexpected call from the embassy of the Soviet Union. And then the French and the Americans, and the Indian intelligence get involved. Set in the New Delhi of the 1980s, this tale of espionage, intrigue, deception and sexual escapade is pacy, funny . . . and sometimes touching.

Review :
'Ramjee Chandran is among the most elegant writers we have. We are fortunate he has brought his talents to fiction. What writers want, above all, is material and this novel is what happens when a proper writer assembles his material' -- "Aakar Patel, author and journalist" 'Debonair, stylish and uproariously witty, For No Reason at All reads like you have ringside tickets to the pandemonium of 1980s India--narrated to you alone, by the most sparkling of raconteurs'-- "Anirudh Kanisetti, historian and author"
