Sumthing of a mocktale instantly transports you from your cosy lounge to the famous JNU campus. JNU fills the incumbants with a feel of mini-India that fast arranges itself into regional groups. Here, the unofficial dress code is kurta-kolhapuri sleepers and cotton shoulder bag.
It is story of Kaya, the main character who steps into JNU to get acquinted with this culture and finds herself misfit. Two other
students Shubhra and Ragini also joins Kaya in the misfits''
club. Together, they all three
girls embark on a roller-coaster ride to experience JNU''s trivia, psychology, geography, ideology and what not. On their journey they enjoy adventures in many forms. They measure the Bong club''s comph; spend nights at Ganga dhaba, the official pre-dating spot; discover the secret of drinkers, dopers and lovers in Parthasarathy Rocks; grapple with Ragini''s eccentric
love chase; stumble into misadventures of behenjis, turned hip; accidentally expose an ugly truth during the floriculture survey; solve the climatic puzzle of Kaya''s surreal love story; feel the surrounding maddening preparation for IAS.
Life comes full circle in JNU for the three misfit girls as they introspect their transformation - from carefree, funfilled youngster to
grown up students; naivete to grown up students; naivette to maturity, juvenile hearts to socially conscious consceince - realising that they can neither leave nor live in JNU anymore.
