You Are My Reason to Smile

When 26-year-old Ayan is sent to live with his grumpy old grandfather Gopal Shanker in a tiny village in Kerala, he is understandably devastated. What can a sleepy, idyllic village without even internet connectivity offer a young man?

The bond that is forged in an ice skating rink and made stronger over many tea and coffee breaks at work eventually turns crazy when love sneaks in. Meera, a carefree and successful fashion blogger, falls in love with her khadoos best friend, Ishaan. Walking together, falling together, getting up together - somewhere they find their destination, only to realise that the journey itself was far better. 

This is not your typical boy-meets-girl story. Okay, they do meet, but there are some complications. Trish is 28. She's unemployed, overweight, single and snarky. She knows all that. Sahil is 35. He has superpowers. Well, kind of. He seems to think so, anyway. He's also hot (in a geeky kind of way, but still). And he plays the guitar, helps the underprivileged and talks about his feelings. Aren't guys like that supposed to exist only in fantasies? But here's the problem. Trish doesn't want anyone in her life.

Once upon a time, there was an intelligent boy called Vidoy. And there was a beautiful girl called Dibisha. They met under the Virgin tree. He was not her cup of tea. But very soon they became close friends. He fell in love with her. But he could never say. And she never thought about him in that way. For her, he was just an average looking boy. She can do all nonsense before him. She doesn't feel odd. He can hold her hand while crossing the road. But they are "just friends".

Everyone has a story. Pull up a chair in Kafe Kabir and listen to four people explore friendship and love, writing their own pages of life from the cosy café to the ends of the world.
