This is a brief story of a grandpa living alone in Delhi. He has lost his only son and daughter in law

but loves his grandson, who is working in Mumbai.  His only complaint is that he is lonely and

if only his grandson could give him the connect that he cares he would be happy without expecting

muchfrom the grandson. The grandson on the other hand is caught with the fast pace of work

presssure.  The story takesan interesting turn when the grandpa gets a modelling offer.  He is

energised and wants to share his excitement with the grandson, who again does not have the time to

hear him out. There is realization, regret, emotions and yet life has to move on..
