Story Description: Cassettes and Cigarettes
Set in the early 2000s-a time when cassette tapes carried love songs and cigarettes carried rebellion-Cassettes and Cigarettes follows the life of Siya Mehra, a 17-year-old girl with laughter as soft as music and a heart untouched by the world's harshness.
Siya lives in a traditional household with her parents and elder brother, raised to be the perfect daughter-beautiful, gentle, and obedient. She detests studying but does it anyway, for that's what is expected of her. In a society where men's egos are delicate and women's voices are often unheard, Siya is the rare light-charming, innocent, and full of life.
Everything changes the day she sees Veer Singh Rajput, a boy who rides his motorbike like he owns the wind. Cold, quiet, and unbothered by the world's opinions-Veer is everything Siya isn't. He smokes to feel alive, listens to cassettes of old songs, and hides his pain behind indifference.
But fate has its own playlist. When Siya's path crosses with Veer's, it spins a story of forbidden emotions, whispered dreams, and unspoken rebellion. And when Advait Singh Rajput, Veer's elder brother-a man of pride and poise-enters her world, the rhythm changes once again.
Between love and loyalty, desire and duty, Cassettes and Cigarettes is a tender, nostalgic tale about youth, freedom, and the kind of love that leaves the scent of smoke and the echo of an old song behind.
