Plot summary

Sandhya Giri has been married to Astik for five months when he dies, leaving her in a house of mourning. His parents, Usha and Shivendra, had depended on their eldest son financially, and their grief fills the rooms. Relatives arrive and add to the confusion, while Sandhya cannot summon any sorrow of her own; the condolence posts and comments online leave her yawning, which puzzles some of the family and annoys others. Her friend Nazia comes to stand by her, and Sandhya admits she feels nothing at the loss. She escapes the house with Nazia for a plate of golgappe while Astik's younger brother Alok carries out the funeral rites at the river. Sandhya and Astik had never been close, and sorting his papers for a bank claim turns up a photograph of a woman she does not know.
