Sudden industrialization and big scale mining activities in central-eastern India, in the twentyfirst century, has affected the socio-economic fabric of society which was earlier dependent on agriculture. People felt alienated due to the shift. A new meaning in life has to emerge. In this backdrop, a young man and a young woman cross each other's path accidentally, each searching for his/her identity. Their journey starts on the ever expanding ROAD. The moving car becomes a temporary home away from the real home which never is anymore. The ROAD however apparently seems to be the ROAD of lies and betrayal. Both the characters are looking for freedom. Is it escape from REALITY ? Or is it only a DREAM ? Hello Arsi delves into these themes and tries to conjure a new meaning through the inner reflections of the two nameless travellers.
