She is a young girl of twenty who leads a well-protected life. But in 1947, when India is at the brink of getting her independence, who could remain innocent to death and loss? Charu is not spared either. Anger bubbles inside her, and she vows to avenge her loss. But to do so, she has to cross the path of Dev.
Dev...
He is the privileged son of the zamindar. He enjoys being a spoilt brat and has a Cassanova image. But his good looks and charming smile hide some deep secrets. Will he be able to bare his heart to a young girl who was much beneath his status?
They meet, and they clash. Falling in love was in their destiny. But would the same destiny send Charu to face her death? Or will Dev be able to save her on time?

The trimming .
The Parijata tree about which I have written earlier in my blog was trimmed today. It seemed to droop on a car over which the parijata flowers would gently drop .The mali had cut many huge branches of he tree & laid them on the walkway behind the building. As I was walking on the path behind the building, I asked the mali if the branches can be planted .No, I had no huge garden of parijata trees in mind. Just wanted to know if the branches can regrow into a shrub. He said that this shrub requires roots to grow & the branches would not serve the purpose. And he added, it will grow new shoots & become much larger & better. Its shade would get wider .And more flowers than ever would bloom.
He said I can collect seeds & plant .He said that seeds must be planted in vertical position .He said , the shrub needed pruning as it had become too heavy & was stooping too much. So much so, that it might have touched the car roof .And obviously, the car cannot be removed from there as its a parking space for the car.And it is paid parking space.
We all need pruning & trimming. Because , sometimes we get so overwhelmed with emotions that it gets too much for our own good .We may feel claustrophobic & maybe, others feel that we are trying to gag them .So a little pruning ,now & then along way. It makes us lighter & better. And our near & dear ones feel free off the ties that have become shackles .And then we expand further & this gives more space for ideas of others to be accepted .We become more receptive as we age as we realise that there can be more than one side to a story, an idea , a topic, etc. And each person has their own perspective to anything & everything.And that, we can all co exist,by agreeing to disagree .And yes, diverse views can make this world an enriching experience which is joyous & peaceful !
