Prologue :
The Beginning ~

"लफ़्ज़ों के हसीन धागों में कहीं
पीरो रहा हूँ मैं कब से हुजूर
कोशिशें जरा है निगाहों की
तुझे देखने की खता जरूर
दीवानगी कहूँ इसे
या है मेरा फ़ितूर"

A story set in the backdrop of Lucknow, during the time of communal riots of 1990s across India. It revolves around the two people, from entirely different worlds, whose lives get entangled somehow by the magic of fate. One is already in love even without seeing the other and One is blissfully unaware of the chaos waiting to fallout in his life.

A story of forbidden romance where star-crossed lovers from different social-class dream of building a world together, where love exists behind closed doors, in silent whispers, hushed conversations and the poetic silence of the night. A love that's pious, beyond the understanding of this cruel world. Yearning that is raw and fragile and hatred that runs deep through the lanes of the city.

Chaos ensue, riots breakout and the fire of it all ensures to seize all of them, present. It leaves behind scars that haunt, that hurt and abandons one bare, infront of the world. Everyone's left scarred, carrying their own grief and amongst all of this, a choice has to be made.

In other words,
Shubman is a poet, writing insanely beautiful poetry and the subject of his longing is just a fragment of his imagination.

What happens when one day he comes face to face with his 'muse' ? An accidental collision that leads to a love story for the world to remember.

Ishan finds himself .... intrigued. His mind is filled with one single thought - 'He feels familiar'. But he doesn't know him!

Ishan is clueless and Shubman is hopeless.

मैंने प्यार तुमसे किया
पर मैं कह ना सका, ओ पिया।।
