Chacko's Illfated Gameplan

Way to Perdition and Beyond

( Under Construction) PV Chacko, a chartered accountant hailing from Memuri, a village near Kuruppanthara in Kottayam District of Kerala belies all expectations about a dollar billionaire. He still commutes back to his home from his non-airconditioned office in Ernakulam in a nondescript Tata Safari. His favouritre tipple is a brand of cheap brandy called Johar. He still finds time to play a game of rummy with his old friends in the village. He doesn't spend much on clothes. And with diet restrictions, he couldn't spend much on food either. The one sin he admits to have is his fondness for dreary Malayalam movies. That's perhaps how he allows himself to escape from the fantastic world he has created for the hundreds of thousands of investors who have made him the richest man in Kerala.
