The serene scene of clean air and green trees filled her heart with a fresh new feeling that she always felt whenever she and her husband, Anish, came here. The calm aura of this town always relaxed her heart and allowed her to soar in the tranquillity. It wasn’t like that she hated Delhi. It was the place where she had made a proud place for herself in Anish’s construction firm. It was the place where she worked and thrived on the risks and new possibilities coming their way.
