The Professor’s Paradox

Sun, 03 May 2026 10:58:38 +0000

The Year is 1980.

In the rain-drenched lanes of Bombay and the ancestral courtyards of Tulsipur, two souls are bound by threads of sacrifice and silence.

​Aniruddh Roy Choudhary is a man of stone—a professor whose heart is locked behind a cage of duty. He has traded his youth and his dreams for a single monthly salary of two thousand rupees, vowing to settle his family’s future while forsaking his own. Love is a luxury he cannot afford; marriage is a word he has struck from his vocabulary.

​Bondita Das is a flicker of light in a world of shadows. An orphan surviving on a scholarship and a silent prayer, she carries a secret devotion for her 'Ani Sir' that is as sacred as a temple hymn. But as the 1980s landscape shifts, a predatory darkness named Chandrachur begins to close in, and a cruel family bargain threatens to sell her dreams for the price of an old debt.

​When a blood-stained dupatta binds them together, the strict Professor and the resilient student must decide: Will they honor the burdens of their past, or will they surrender to a Divine Love that was written in the stars long before they were born?

​"In the era of handwritten letters and silent glances, their hearts spoke a language only the soul could hear."
