This is ... not a happy go-lucky novel. The world is shit--specifically, Sri Lanka is shit, because the shit world powers (local, such as India; global, such as the USA) are working to make sure it remains shit--and life is shit because shit people use whatever extra authority or power (material or metaphysical) to make sure your life is much shittier than theirs. All you can hope for is to maybe do a little good that will probably sink into the lake of shit that is life, and disappear into nonexistence after experiencing a distinctly shit personal afterlife. So I guess take what pleasures you can, while you can, because ... shit.
