Why Paploo Was Perplexed

Paploo is a curious little fellow, full of questions and not afraid of asking.

And that’s how children should be, says the author - full of questions and free to come to their own conclusions. Pictures and words in verse are delightfully stood on their heads in this story that amuses even as it sets the reader thinking about the world in which we live.

Devashish Makhija spends his life bewildered by the world, driven to manic curiosity about little things (like why the 'butterfly’s not called the more befitting 'flutter-by'). To distract himself from such insomnia-inducing questions, he makes films, does graphic art, writes poetry, stands on his head each morning, and sings songs to the Bombay pigeons each night.
