A unique Romantic Erotica comprising 4 distinctive and offbeat love stories. Narrated by the female protagonist Shilpi. What happens when a man and a woman fall in love with each other? We can safely assume either of 3 possibilities -- (a) they live happily ever after, (b) they fight and split up, (c) they live happily for sometime and then drift apart. But what if the man in the story is 70 years old, and the woman is only 21? In such a case, we can expect only ONE outcome. A doomed relationship. A certain failure. Social norms dictate an "acceptable" age-gap as a necessity for a successful romantic relationship. But who decides what is an "acceptable" age difference? What if a 70 year old man and a 21 year old woman build their own dream world and find it acceptable? This is the story of 2 such individuals who build a dream world together, and then see it get shattered by forces that were beyond their control. This is the story of 2 dreamers, loners and lovers who choose innocence over social norms. This is the story of their return to innocence.
