Bauji is a 55 years old man, who lives a dreary but eventful life in a small house in old Delhi. He lives in a joint family that shares a small house cramped with people and drama.
One day, Bauji decides that he has been blind all his life- following other people’s truth. He decides that from now on, he would not believe anything that he has not experienced. His truth will be the truth of his own experience. He would only believe what he sees with his own eyes, nothing else can be certain.
