The story is about a middle class girl, Akanksha, who is very shy. She has no friends.
Her parents are school teachers. So they can hardly spend any time with her. Akanksha has two siblings, Rupali and Tushar.
Rupali is a very good dancer. She is great in studies as well. Akanksha is very close to her sister. She shares everything with her. But the contrary for Tushar.
Tushar is also good in studies. He is the school football team captain. He has a long list of girls crushing over him. But Akanksha doesn't like him at all. Rather she is confused what girls see in him.
Tushar is the one who always irritates her, snatches away her food. He is always telling her what a loser she is. But Rupali always defends her.
Akanksha's parents go to their respective schools and her siblings also go to their schools and classes. Akanksha spends all the day alone, with the one and only company, the TV.
She loves watching cartoons. As a matter of fact, she is very much obsessed with it. Romantic shows give her immense pleasure and she even tries to enact them in her own life. Thus she spends the entire day alone, either with the TV or her dolls.
That's what makes poor Akanksha lonely and isolated.
Akanksha's primary school went ver bad. She is very bad in making friends. But somehow she managed to make 2 friends on the first day of school.
But initially they betrayed her and she was punished by the teacher because of them. That day Akanksha felt very bad.
Those two, Maisha and Pratick, were the very first friends of her life. But they cheated her.
She stopped going to school for 6 months. But again she started going to school. But the rest of her school life went very miserable.
Other students hardly talked to her. The teachers were not so much impressed by her. She was not good in either studies or sports. The only relief she found was in her imaginations.
She could spend all day watching TV. She was too lazy to join any extra cullicular activity class or work on herself. However she passed primary school somehow, with actually zero friends.
NOW
Mr and Mrs. Kumar are very concerned that their youngest child is so much addicted to TV. She is not at all social and she has not even one friend.
Akanksha is already 15 years old. So her parents decide to admit her to a nearby high school. Akanksha is happy that she is finally able to leave the cursed primary school.
Her mother brings new school uniform for her. She becomes very much glad at the prospect of going to a new school. But the next morning, the drama starts.
The new session starts from today. It is important for every student and every teacher to be present at the school on this day.
Akanksha hoped that her mother will be with her on her big day. But Mrs. Kumar has to be present on her own school.
And it is also in the next station, so there is no chance of going with Akanksha at first and then going to her own work.
Akanksha goes to her room crying. Tushar comes. "Hey babe! I will go with you. Don't cry. Mom has work, you know right?" Tushar says with such affection that Akanksha actually feels better. She never knew Tushar has this soft side.
