Pinkoo Shergill has a longstanding dream that grows bigger and bigger till it fills his head and he can think of nothing else. It’s all about what he dreams to be…An astronaut? A fire engine driver? Spiderman? No! He wants to be the greatest pastry chef ever! For him life revolves around buttercream icing, strawberry syrups, rainbow sprinkles… as also whisks and spatulas, pots and pans. His three-tier cakes are masterpieces that are already the talk of the town, and his friends simply drool over all his creations.
But Papa Shergill has other ideas that shoot down Pinkoo’s dream with unfailing regularity. Pinkoo and his brother Tutu are hustled off to the shooting academy every week because Papaji wants Pinkoo to become an Olympic Shooting Champ winning the Olympic gold…this has long been the family ambition for generations. Of course, Pinkoo has kept his own dream top secret from Papaji who firmly believes that boys don’t step into kitchens. ‘A boy baking! What a perfectly preposterous idea!’
