The Silent Weight

The Silent Weight tells the story of Arjun, an 11th-grade boy burdened by the high expectations of his Indian parents. As their only child, Arjun becomes the focus of their ambitions, facing constant comparisons to friends who achieve higher scores. Every part of his life-study habits, eating, and free time-is controlled, leaving him little space to explore his own dreams.

Arjun quietly endures this "silent weight," longing for freedom and acceptance of his true self. The story highlights the silent toll of parental pressure, as Arjun struggles between his love for his family and his desire to break free from their expectations.
