‘Break the pattern’, ‘Live your dream’ and other ‘YOLO’ mantras have been peddled in many a film and story thus far. But few stories tell us about the likely aftermath that follows the courageous adoption of such advice. When high-flyer Nakul Kapoor gets swayed by arrogance and a chance brush with an iota of literary success, he reckons it is time to hang up his corporate boots and find his true calling as a novelist. But once on this seemingly glorious bandwagon, he is met with no less than a fraudulent agent, critics within and outside the family, a fast depleting bank account and a past beneficiary who just won’t return his money. With an ego too large to return to the old job and a mind too wise to not sense financial adversity, Nakul is now driving on the road to nowhere. And all that keeps him from that elusive flash of success is a mighty stroke of luck, layered with tons of patience.
