The book is a delightfully comic expose of the politics of war and coups, of loyalty, love and marital clashes. The entire business of diplomacy is the focus of sometimes glaring, often soft light of humour that Rajiv Dogra casts on Ambassador Doot and his struggles. 
This is the story of a man named Doot. When he thinks that his courtship is at a sufficiently advanced stage, he declares impulsively to Sundari: "You must marry me." She retorts: "Marry? You? ... go climb a tree!" From that point, his life changes. He is determined to climb the tree. Not only does he start climbing the different social, political, sensual, and diplomatic trees, but also wins Sundari for his bride.
