[𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝] The one quote which keeps Jaanvi going- 'You are on your own.' Choosing herself over anyone or anything else turned out to be the best decision of her life. Working as a therapist, she loved it, helping people that is, even though the profession had its own pros and cons. Yet, being so happy in what she does, there still remains a void in her heart. A void that she has tried filling in many ways but it remains the same. What happens when she realises that the only way to fill the void is to pull down the walls around her heart again? Is she willing to put herself through the same feelings again or will she be content in avoiding the path which puts her heart at a risk?

Anagha never takes the AC local train- until one morning, she does. And that's when she sees him. A mystery in red pants and a black shirt, blending in with the regulars, yet standing out to her.

Or maybe, love is just a missed station waiting to be chased. A lighthearted romance about unexpected encounters, hesitant crushes, and the magic of Mumbai's local trains.
