The Idea -
The narrator is a typical modern generation young professional always on the move.
The story takes the narrator on a journey where he starts to find the meaning of love in his own life through the love lives of people that he encounters on the way, all in the most unexpected quarters and from the most unexpected people.
When the narrator has lost all hopes to find peace with himself, more than with the girl he loved most and when the mental turmoil even forces him to leave his job to find another in the city where he hopes for a chance of reconciliation with love lost, the love story of the cab driver who was driving him from the guest house to the company makes him doubt his attitude towards love. "Is it just infatuation I'm killing my peace with? The cab driver earns nothing if I compare his salary to mine. He goes for all the hardships just to ensure that one day he will be able to afford to live together with his love in this expensive city, whom he married but still have to live apart. And I leave jobs." The narrator starts soliloquising.
In the office while waiting for the HR he strikes conversation with the security guard. And lo. Behold. Another love story.
The whole universe has conspired to lit a spark inside the narrator's heart. Whether to rage higher passions to intensify the narrator's motivation to win his love back or to enlighten shades of love not yet felt within him, slowly unfolds in the story.

This story is based on conversation with people that we encounter everyday on the journey of life. Most of these people are those who have to take all kind of hardships just to make sure that they and their family are well fed. Their lives hardly look interesting, not to talk of their love stories. But that is what people perceive on the surface. Strike a conversation and the most interesting stories crop up from their lives, including love stories. This story is a tribute to all these people interactions with some of whom have made them uncredited contributors to this story.
