Do you live in present and forget all that was there in your past? Or do you drag your past in your present? Both will end up to a scary situation if a balance is not made well between the two. Shreya and Dev, a young couple will tell you what their life was full of. A Navy officer’s struggle on being on sailings and managing his love life and an old grandfather’s silent lifestyle that was the best companion to Shreya for long. Their story will touch our existence, make us think hard on our living and even hit us hard to hear the end. The intoxicating delusion of young age, its fire, its ambition can distract even the simplest of girls from a small town, who are brought up with family values and principles as their core like it happened for Shreya. Even the strongest officer like Mr. Sahai can feel helpless when he sees his life falling apart and loved ones getting detached from their roots. The battle between love and peace is not verified by achieving the end goal of togetherness but can also be lived by gracefully handling the pain and uncertainties of separation when life doesn’t go as per your plan, as it happened with Dev. The end cannot assure you to have the life of dreams in a lavish house, with your love along your side but a few wrong steps and the guilt of your mistakes can bring about loneliness and there memories left to please you for the rest of age. This is the story of guilt, remorse, ignorance, love, friendship, promises, ambition, passion and reliving. This is the story of Dev- Shreya and the Sahai’s.
Silence Shh… You are a woman of grace, You are a woman of endurance, You are a woman of honour, You are woman of courage, You are woman of silence; You are the Goddess, You are the mother, You are the sister, You are the daughter, You are the friend, You are the aunt, You are the mother in law, You are the daughter in law; Your presence is incontestable in every metier. You played your duties as a queen, an astronaut, a doctor, a rider, a driver, a teacher, a conductor, an actor, a lawyer, a police officer, a constable, an administrator, a homemaker etc. Living in one of the biggest democratic countries India, and 80 percent of this second largest populated country worships Goddess yet she was, she is and in modern India of equality still considered to be Burden. Though many will disagree, but A woman is a Burden the moment she is called ‘ Paraya Dhan’ meaning others property. She is already tagged a property or thing not a living being. The day a girl child is born, the applaud and wishes says, ‘Laxmi AAYI hai Badhai Ho’ meaning Goddess Laxmi has come , congratulations! But this reflection towards her birth and living is not treated with the same perspective in the long run- Reason, instead of planning for her education and career, most of the Indian parents start planning to save in Gold jewellery or other funds until she is ready for the next Big step of her life ‘Marriage’.
“Rakshabandhan is a two way clear crystal, where a brother named Hansit stains the beauty of this relationship, little Gourav who couldn’t even speak was the energy source for Nisha”. Rakshabandhan is a critic on the artificial social frames and sketches the dark reality that changed the life of a little girl Nisha. Rakshabandhan is the most sacred and valued bond between two individuals of the opposite gender and the expectations that are framed from one another are enormous. This story unfolds the battle of a little one from the modern tantrums of a couple, their hardships of being together and the ignorance that a child faces due to the differences between her parents. The expectations that she keeps from a cousin brother and the shivering end that brings peace to everybody else’s life and leaves her in a never ending pain.
