Sanjog's file

Mohinder discovers a file labelled "Sanjog, Iyer".

Sanjog's file is a file folder identical to those in the Genesis Files.

In his father's office in Madras, Mohinder Suresh uses the key to unlock a desk drawer. Initially, he finds nothing, but on closer inspection he finds a file labelled "Sanjog, Iyer" tucked up inside the desk. The file contains various articles about sleep and dreaming, as well as a photograph of the mysterious boy who has been appearing in his dreams.

Mohinder later shows the file to Nirand, and tells him that the file describes Sanjog's power as the ability to "enter your dreams, alter your perceptions—a kind of spirit guide".

Notes

• Although the file is labelled "Sanjog, Iyer", the boy's name is, according to Mohinder, actually "Sanjog Iyer", not "Iyer Sanjog". "Sanjog" is a common first name, and the Iyers are one of the most distinguished and well-established Brahmin castes in the Tamil region of which Madras is the capital. It's not uncommon for southern Indians to use the family name first and the given name second, particularly on documents.
