Rinku works and is arranging a flat in Gurgaon with his colleague Urmi Kaul, though he keeps the deal from his father; Vincy studies for a B.Com degree and loves to dance. Sharmaji does not want to leave the neighborhood he has lived in for years, and he does not want to sit idle, so he tries Zumba classes, property brokerage and other small jobs.
