This story is about three strangers who get to meet each other on a train travel, during the travel they realise what is being missed in their life. Shakir, a busy businessman whose only focus in life is money and nothing else. Raghu, an ordinary middleclass man whose life Is influenced on the thoughts of other people. David, a daily wage worker (mostly known as Kooli). The story majorly revolves around these three characters where they discuss their perceptions and experiences of their life. This discussion makes them realise what they are missing in each other’s life and what impact society has made in each’s life.
