Plot Outline:

The story is contemporary, happening in today’s globalized world in a high middle class family in modern Kolkata, India. It is the journey of Archishman (Archi), in early forties, a highly successful professional working in MNC and his wife Ishaani, a lady of mid-thirties, spanning across ten years from their marriage to present day, shown in flashback mode

The story starts on the morning of Mahalaya (first day of celebration) with ‘Mahishashurmardini’ being played on the radio and ends with the Dhaak (drums) during Bodhon of Goddess Durga on Sashthi (sixth day). A crisis comes unexpectedly to the family when their son Ujaan has a sudden heart attack and the family fights it with all their might during these six days. But there is a deeper crisis in Ishaani’s life –where she has to face an unexpected problem of her daughter. So parallely we see two stories – real time six days with imminent crisis – a flashback of ten years, which starts expectedly but gets into a different unchartered territory for her when she embarks on a personal journey to realize a joint dream and has to fight with external world and internal dilemmas on the way.

She gets positive helping hands, negative vibes, strong support as well as unwelcoming comments. The story shows different faces, relationships, incidents during her journey. Archi with his exposure to Western world as well as from his inherent idealism has somehow accepted the facts and shoulders the responsibilities with aplomb. But it is a different battle for Ishani - the crisis of a umodern woman – the trial of a Universal mother. Can she win it? Can she really stretch her emotional boundaries and have a true uplift of her inner self (a true Bodhon or Awakening)?
