Exploring the complex bond between twins, the narrative delves into the aftermath of one brother's suicide as seen through the eyes of his sister. Reflecting on their childhood and adult lives, she recounts his pursuit of happiness, marked by struggles with depression and a search for identity within various relationships and the Bhagwan movement. Through brief, poignant vignettes infused with humor and melancholy, the story captures the sister's conflicting feelings of love, resentment, and profound loss as she grapples with her brother's choices and absence.
