​The Accident The trip turned ugly when Saher's other bff, Anita, met with an accident because of the college's negligence and lack of appropriate safety measures. Saher's fury knows no bounds as all of her suppressed frustration at India's regressive and indifferent attitude towards women...

As a sole founder, she constantly tries to find new ways to balance being a writer/director and an entrepreneur. That generally results in great puns and cool content. She also runs Bedlam, a unique event and performance space which holds the largest Women's Open Mic in India.

Saher is dreading the fact that she has to leave Canada and return to India. While on Facebook, stalking her friends, she comes across the profile of a friend's friend, Parmvir, and decides to flirt-message him on FB. Voila! He replies! It didn't help that he was as gorgeous in person as he was online. Why did she have to meet him now when she was months away from leaving this country? Is the universe trying to tell her something?

Five months and an eternal dry streak later, Saher had entrenched herself in the desi atmosphere, even while trying to stand apart from the crowd. Canada, who? She had some wonderful friends and barely remembered to resent the traditional dress code. Unfortunately, things had progressed no further with Vikram who was no match for Parmvir or JT but he was here. She was totally looking forward to the three day retreat that the college had planned for her batch.

After so many months of no orgasms in sight, Saher now has two candidates for the esteemed position of being her boyfriend. Who should she choose? Vikram or all-round achiever Pavan? Pavan, who can recognize flirting and return the compliment, definitely has an edge over Vikram but it doesn't help that Saher's bff, Samreen, is her rival for Pavan's affections and Pavan himself seems to be eyeing them both. This is just the excitement that Saher had been craving for so long but will she manage to win her man from her best friend?

Saher tearfully bids goodbye to her life in Canada but the land of maple syrup had one last gift for her before she left its comforting embrace. The gift was waiting for her at the airport in the yummy form of the hotter-than-before JT, her crush from school days! First Parmvir, now JT! Why, oh why, did the universe have to grant her wishes JUST when she was leaving? Can Saher resist the pull of her heartstrings (read: g-strings) and get on the plane?

After enduring a few days of snide remarks from her extended family and an unwanted trip into regressive ideals of the dark ages past, she meets Vikram who seemed like your average joe schmoe with good taste and a good bank balance at the New MBA class Mixer! Also, he's mildly funny. Perhaps that would be enough raw material for Saher to work with. But all these thoughts churning in her mind fly right out of the window when on her flight to college, she runs into someone she's met before.

From the moment she and her family board the cab to go to Noida, Saher notices how men are staring at her non-stop from their cars, their bikes. This didn't look like the promising future she had begun to hope for in her home country. Would she ever even meet men who worshiped her feminist and social justice intellect instead of the sexist and ignorant bunch that stood before her?

Saher now knows that she and Vikram would never 'fit in' with each other. God, that guy had some weird hang-ups and disgusting views about women's bodies. How could she have been so wrong? Sure he was there for her emotionally and he was textbook boyfriend/husband material that women dreamed of, but he wasn't right for Saher's free spirit and big dreams. Samreen too is frustrated with Pavan and the two bffs try to find solace in each other's company.

Saher finally has a boyfriend and craves some chumma chatti time with him as does Samreen with her new boyfriend. The two couples book a hotel room and it seems like Saher's dry streak will finally be broken. Things however don't go as planned and Saher is faced with a dilemma that she definitely did NOT expect.
