Rural Karnataka, India, the 1950s. Caste and religion intertwine to ensnare generations from birth to death in rules of cans and cannots, shoulds and nevers. Siblings Ashok and Minerva Shastri are as caught up in these norms as any before them, and most after. This purity comes at the cost of forgetting, erasing and tampering with as much of their own history as possible. All of this changes when a young boy appears on their front doorstep, reminding them of a history they'd much rather forget. Inevitably, he leads them to a future that is equally dangerous to their fragile stability.

The one man she loves with all her heart, and the one man she could never have. Because while she was devoted to him, he was devoted to his revenge. For two years they loved on secret, and for the next eight, mourned in silence. For unlike Cinderella, who's story started at midnight, hers ended. Only this time, it was the prince who ran away. But this is not a story of Meera's devotion. This is not a story of Dev's revenge. This is just a simple story of Love. Love, that went against the bounds of rationality, and how the world punished them for it. Because the question never was, if they loved enough. The question was always, if they were ready to lose everything they had in the process. And they did. Every last bit of it. **** ❝If I have him then I have everything. If I don't have him, I have nothing.❞ ❝Bhul jao mujhe. I can never be yours.❞
