The Story
The last year in school, a year about first kisses and crushes. Of being so safe and yet so insecure. A year filled with living it up and living up to expectations. Our story is set in St. Marks School, Delhi. We are introduced to a set of friends.
Tariq Naqvi, the Bill Gates of St Marks - He is brilliantly intelligent, No nonsense guy, ambitious, hardworking, sincere, friendly and mature. A geek who has the cheek to be cool but carries the burden of having to excel at everything.
Aishwarya Dhawan, she is breathtaking; if a beautiful face can launch a 1000 ships, Aish could launch a million. A mother who wanted her to be a film star no less than Aishwarya Rai!! A pretty damsel, the most sought after in school but yet very down to earth girl, friendly, caring and helpful.
Nandini, she mildly poses to be the bitch - The trouble maker, gossip monger, attention seeker and cheeky yet deep down inside in search of true friendship and love.
I don't think she had a single friend in the 12 years she spent at St. Marks. Except Toy boy her 25 year old boyfriend who perhaps was too dumb to understand the full impact of her acid tongue. All he was interested in perhaps was getting his tongue around.
And then there was Sameer aka Sam - The "cool" dude of school, naughty, intelligent, fun loving, adventurous, daring, fast paced and risky. He is Mr. Shortcut always figuring out a way to do something faster and quicker. Tariq says that Sam is the kind of guy who would find a short-cut for a shortcut. Sam did not wan to spend his life counting monthly installments like his accountant Dad.
The year at St Marks begins with a lot of excitement, Principal Khan and Ms Das has decided that the school is going to participate in the interschool Shakespearewallah contest and present Romeo & Juliet!
The story then unfolds a series of dramatic incidents that take place in each of these characters' lives and how they find the answers to each question on a youthful journey together.
