The narrator, Sagar, reflects on memories from about eight years ago when he had a crush on a girl he knew from school and their shared society. Although they were in the same school, he had no direct interaction with her beyond observing her during school events and competitions. She was known for her simplicity and beauty, which immediately drew attention. As time passed, they both focused on their studies; Sagar was busy with his diploma while she was preparing for her board exams and later joined the same college as him. They began to see each other more frequently in college and on public transport, but the girl remained oblivious to Sagar's feelings and continued to socialize with her friends. Sagar cherished moments when he could catch a glimpse of her, especially during the Navratri festival when she stood out for her grace. Their paths occasionally crossed, but Sagar was still unsure how to connect with her. Now, after many years, he wonders how he eventually reached out to her and how they met.
