"Characters, even when they are fictional, have ancestry in real life. I think this kind of boorishness is often the foundation of certain instances of male bonding. Particularly those that start very young, as here, or those which share living space, such as in hostels," says Majumdar, the author of the recently published novel "The Remains of the Body".
