✉️ A Father-Daughter Correspondence Across Continents

Mitul sets off to a foreign land for higher studies, leaving behind her father in India. But their bond remains alive through letters exchanged across oceans and continents.

🌏 A Clash of Generations:

• These letters reflect the values of two different generations.
• Through their correspondence, buried emotions, unspoken grievances, and generational conflicts slowly come to the surface.

The novel delves into one of the most modern dilemmas—the ever-growing distance between parents and children in a changing world.
