Blurb

In the heart of 1970s rural India, where tradition holds women to unspoken rules and expectations, 18-year-old Aarti finds herself trapped in a world that values silence over self-expression. A gifted veena player, she has spent years hiding her passion, bound by a society that measures a woman's worth by her ability to serve her family.

At 28, Raghav, a compassionate schoolteacher, marries Aarti with hopes of a new beginning, but she fears the same chains will follow her. As Aarti settles into her role as a wife, Raghav begins to notice the quiet melody in her heart,a longing for the music she has suppressed. When he discovers her secret, his encouragement sparks a transformation in both their lives.

As they move to a bustling city, their love story becomes a journey of breaking barriers, challenging norms, and finding harmony in a world of dissonance. Through whispered dreams and quiet defiance, Aarti rediscovers herself, and Raghav learns the true depth of companionship and support.
