THE GOD OF SEX & GOLD and ROCK 'N' ROLL Utkarsh Mohan

Syd Sinnerman is the second coming of rock music, dethroning pop and hip-hop with his dark, brooding strain of philosophic rock. But few know the story of his unlikely rise to global superstardom from middle-class India, which is obsessed with academics, or that the very secret of his success is destroying him and no, it isn't alcohol or drugs. High octane music and the quiet humdrum life of Kolkata brilliantly portrays the inner life of a little boy as he grows up alternately. Can Syd find himself again; can he put his life back together; will he sing again? The God of Sex and Gold and Rock 'n' Roll, set in Singapore and India, explores what it takes to pursue the dreams we forget when real life hits us.
