An anthology of four stories that sheds light on modern relationships from the viewpoint of the Indian woman.

Women are disappearing without a trace in Rajasthan and nobody seems surprised. But police officer Anjali Bhaati notices a similarity in the cases: long nightly phone calls and a boyfriend that no one in the neighbourhood has ever seen.

Three stories unfold in Mumbai. A middle-aged man wins the office Fun Committee Award, a man's family buys a TV to watch a soap while he is unconscious, and a woman's repetitive existence is changed by a letter.

A cynical young man and a romantic young womanencountered each other on a night bus journey. Eachspins a story around the other. It turns out that she isgoing to meet someone, she has never seen before. Heis apprehensive. She herself is not so sure.
