Neel is a young inquisitive boy from Bihar growing up in the Indian Mining township of Dhanbad, when TV had not touched lives in small towns and the internet was still a few decades away. Now a corporate executive, he looks back on how he reached here and contrasts his growing up years to that of his son, without being judgmental. The journey of growing up and discovery is filled with humour and emotions. It explores a young boy's desire for recognition, little triumphs, occasional fumbles, involvement of family in defining professional goals, chasing of those goals, compromised choices, and constant struggle with self-doubt and indecision.
