Sachi is an unusual looking woman. 29 years of age and single, tattooed, solo traveler. She wanders away to places her heart craves for, in search of meaning or in search of nothing. She is about to hit 30 and comfortable with it. She is currently single, which wouldn't have been, besides a cruel stroke of fate. In an unusual place where she goes to travel, she meets a man many years older to her. This man makes her feel curious about his existence and his presence in the small town where he lives. He shouldn't be living there, going by the way he looks. But he is there. She wonders about his life. It is a quaint small town where people bond with each other for love. It hadn't been always so but events happened which gave the town its very essence. The people of the town now speak collectively a single language-the language of love. Unexpectedly, Sachi has an argument with the old man while still on the trip and that leads to a conversation with him that wouldn't have happened otherwise. He does something she would not expect and that irritates her. The man would come into her life again at some point in time.When the trip gets over and she gets back to her home town, she meets her mother, who has had a tough life. Many a time, she wishes that her mother's life wasn't as difficult but there was nothing she could do to help it. Her parents never really loved each other. They had an arranged marriage. People don't really love each other in arranged marriages, Sachi grows up to believe. In the office, she meets her friend and colleague Sapna who introduces her to someone new in the office. The new person seems familiar to her but she doesn't understand the reason behind the familiarity for a long time. They start working and things begin to happen. The man does something totally unexpected one day. It takes Sachi by surprise and she doesn't know what to do. Later, he apologizes to Sachi for the incident and confesses that he has started falling for her. Sachi dismisses his advances and tells him to back off. But, he persists. This is not a man who would give up on love so easily. He wants to know the reasons why Sachi isn't interested to have a conversation and he persists. Sachi doesn't want to talk about it. She has her reasons. She doesn't talk about it because she is scared of love. She is scared of what might happen if she would allow her vulnerabilities to get better of her, once again. She is scared of love not reaching its worthwhile end. It has happened to her before and she doesn't want it to happen to her again. She craves to be loved but she is also scared of the consequences. But, he persists. Raga is an unusually determined man. He is brave and he has his reasons. He belongs to a family where courage is a tradition. His parents did something during their lifetime which has become a landmark memory in his mind and he gets his life references from their lives. He doesn't believe in giving up on love, whatever be the consequences. Therefore, no matter what Sachi says, he doesn't give up on her. Sachi wonders, if this would be another impossible relationship, like her last one.
