" The Broomstick and the Boy Who Flew"

On a warm June afternoon in 1998, eleven-year-old Arjun Murali asked for a toy aeroplane. What he received instead was a moment of violence that would alter the course of his life forever. Wounded and unheard, he left home in the early hours of the next morning and never returned. A twist of fate lands him in Scotland, where two kind strangers take him in. Raised with love, discipline, and the freedom to dream, Arjun grows into a gifted student and eventually becomes a respected international pilot. Yet, the questions of his past never leave him.

Years later, his journey brings him back to India, in search of the family that once denied him and the truth buried in silence. Along the way, he meets Anusiya, a neurosurgeon whose quiet presence helps guide him home not only to the people he left behind but to the man he was always meant to become. Spanning continents and decades, The Broomstick and the Boy Who Flew, is a powerful novel about identity, forgiveness, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. It is the story of a boy who ran not to escape, but to become himself.
