   Nishi’s story begins with a ‘Stolen Kiss’. She’s quiet, doesn’t like to express much. Kunal, the cynic, is also tough minded and an introvert. She has not confessed and doesn’t have regrets. She’d touched and felt him. If love is insanity, well an asylum was the place for her, for she is truly and completely insane for his love. Who says your heart should beat when you fall in love?
