Elephas Estate

The story unfolds in the mountainous Wayanad in peninsular India. George Abraham a young biologist on a habitat study in a cardamom plantation finds the microcosm of Wayanad right in the estate: the old estate bungalow where he stays the estate?s cluster of staff quarters the little bazaar in the hamlet the green cardamom hills the wildlife that'strays into the garden and simple agrarian life that binds all these. As he buddies up the estate?s owner whom everybody calls ?planter? estate?s staff and a local teacher he learns that everything is not well with the plantation. The estate has a regular visitor: misfortune manifested variously sometimes in mysterious deaths and sometimes in unexpected fiascos. Soon he discovers a hushed-up fear that'stays deep-rooted in every mind: a curse looming over the estate and its far-fetched association to a legend in the local culture.
