When most of us are busy perfecting our lives, Nitya is already an Einstein in her own forte. Ever since her early childhood, Nitya has grown up believing that she is the chosen one, with some manufacturing defect. Strangely enough, she refuses to regret it; in fact she is obsessed with it.
However, hounded by slanderous perfectionists from all sides, she finds herself trapped under perpetual pressure, to perform. The more she strives for excellence, the greater blunders she commits. In her relentless pursuits of perfection, she faces some of the most uproarious and stupefying predicaments that have turned her life around.
Spanning over five decades, right from the Hippie era of the seventies, to the turn of the dynamic millennium, her story is an insightful reminiscence of her mysterious past, laden with trapped memories that have long haunted her.
What shadows does her past hide and what will become of her growing obsession? Read only if you really want to know!
