In 1996, when the Opel Astra was launched in India, the car caught the eye of ten-year-old Veer. As the son of a prostitute, he didn't even have the privilege of touching it.
The immoral act has always been looked down upon, but for Meera, it was the only means of survival. She's the mother of two rasgullas, Veer and Tara. It's not easy for the children either. Their mother is always treated as an outcast, but the young boy is determined to be the man of the house.
Their way of life is disgusting to many, pitied by some, and accepted by one man.
Kindness, love, and courage can lead to the most beautiful thing...
A Handful of Happiness.

Veer, mentally trapped in a childlike state due to a deep trauma, was unable to give Meera the love and companionship she longed for. Yet, as their journey unfolds, both find themselves bound by love, duty, and the complexities of a relationship neither fully understood. Years pass, and the weight of life, miscommunication, and unspoken fears threatens to tear them apart. "I don't know how to fix this, Veer," Meera whispered, her voice raw with emotion. "But I can't live in this silence anymore. I can't." But just as their relationship begins to unravel, a tragic twist alters everything. Meera finds herself at a crossroads, torn between duty and her own heart. Will Veer recover from the trauma that has held him captive? Will their love withstand the test of time and tragedy?

Some souls are born under gentle skies, bathed in love and warmth. Meera was not one of them. Her world had always been cold and unwelcoming.

Life did not ease its grip as she grew older. Her marriage became just another prison. Her husband's words cut like knives, his hands heavy with rage. The day she learned the truth behind her marriage, her fragile hopes shattered completely. After years of being treated like a doormat, Meera finally chose freedom over chains. Divorce was not a new beginning - it was merely the end of one battle and the start of another: the fight to piece herself back together. Meera's journey became one of finding slivers of light in the deepest darkness... of discovering that sometimes, the love we yearn for most comes from the worlds we create within ourselves. She didn't know if her own "happily ever after" truly existed but she longed for the day when the man she adored in fiction might somehow step into her reality and hold her as tenderly as he held the love in his story.
