Bureau Report

While cities have grown leaps and bounds in the last decades, several towns have remained untouched in this era of progress. But this is fast changing, as quiet towns by the river are being touched with the gentle winds of change. And wherever the winds of change blow, big malls for shopping tend to pop up. These malls are changing the face of these towns, with their big towering glass buildings and their giant billboards. Some banners tell you how a soap will make your skin smooth as a feather, and you soft as a duck, while others promote the latest thrillers you can catch on Netflix. And if the urban charm gets you exhausted, these towns have their ancient authenticity to rejuvenate you. Go river rafting in the morning, have some pahado ke noodles as you dry off, and then catch yourself reading books by the riverside. And if it ever felt the towns could offer more, one just needs to shake hands with someone on the streets. Chances are that you are going to bump into an engineer. With such a concentration of skilled dwellers, promising growth and recreational spots, the towns seem to give you no reason to complain.

Rani, born and raised in Delhi, having recently married an engineer, Rishabh Saxena and settled in one such town. A beautician by profession, Rani finds the town and its people charming and peaceful. For her, the days can be spent reading crime thrillers on the balcony, or rafting through the river torrents, and nights can be spent taking her husband through her Netflix watchlists. Rani is already hooked to the recent teaser of Netflix's upcoming film, Haseen Dillruba, and says she can’t wait to see this story of lust, obsession and deceit unfold on her screens.

Meanwhile, as more days go by, more women like Rani continue to settle in these towns. Whether they will find the peace they seek or whether this town will add unexpected and uncontainable sparks to their lives remains to be seen.

About Haseen Dillruba:

A woman whose heart longs to live like words captured in a novel, finds herself entangled in the murder of her own husband. Will she get lost in the chaos of her real-life-novel or find her innocence?
