Synopsis

A professor of a college, during her train journeys, she witnessed fragments of countless lives - faces and moments that the city often chooses to overlook. There was a woman who was not mentally stable and known for her craze for biryani- a delicacy she can rarely afford. The woman conceived. Her longing remained simple yet profound to taste biryani again. For those living on the periphery, biryani is more than a food; it is a symbol of a dream just out of reach. The writer points it out that if our time on earth is so brief, why are we so consumed by our own races that we forget to pause - to see, to feel?
