Rogue and Rebellion

In the waning days of the 19th century, a young and charismatic medical student named Charles Carlton, known to his Oxford comrades as "Charming Charlie," embarks on a transformative journey to colonial India. Haunted by the specter of unrequited love and seeking respite from the chilling corridors of Oxford, Charlie sets sail with an air of adventure and a determination to carve out a new chapter in the tapestry of his life.

In the heart of colonial India, a spirited young woman named Bhargavi Mahalaxmi Vigneshwara, defiantly known as Gargi, finds herself entangled in the oppressive threads of tradition and colonial rule. Gargi, a devdasi with a fiery spirit and an unwavering commitment to feminism, bristles against the constraints of a society steeped in patriarchy and colonialism.

Their worlds, initially separated by cultural chasms and societal expectations, converge in a dance of serendipity. Fate, with its whimsical hand, orchestrates encounters that draw them closer, like celestial bodies pulled into each other's gravitational embrace.

From clumsy encounters to sarcastic exchanges, Charlie and Gargi find themselves ensnared in a web of laughter and connection, discovering that love, in its most unpredictable form, often wears the mask of humor.

"It's only a gentleman's duty to help damsels in distress," I quipped with a charming smile, approaching the scene.

The girl turned around, her eyes ablaze with irritation. "I'm a damsel. I'm most definitely in distress. I can handle it," she retorted sharply, her tone cutting through the night air. "And it's none of your gentlemanly business. Don't you have other things to do, like I don't know, gawk at western women or preach toxic masculinity?"
