The story revolves around a tuition centre, named Sunshine Tuition Centre, where Rajat, a studious boy, has a crush and falls for a beautiful girl, Ishita, who is simple and well-behaved. She initially did not use to express herself much. Rajat has two very close and dear friends to him- they are Gaurav and Anusha. According to their tuition teacher Kaushal sir, Rajat and Gaurav were like "the C-C bond." The series continues through five episodes, where we see how Rajat makes friendship with Ishita, takes her out on a date, which was quite unplanned but according to him, "the best day." We find that the consequences would create some misunderstandings between Rajat and Ishita, as well as Rajat and Gaurav, but in the end, everything would be sorted, with some priceless advice from their very own Kaushal sir, about trust and friendship.

This is a sweet and cute story of two ex-schoolmates Priyanshu and Anshul, who meet each other, all of a sudden, in another perspective, in Shillong. While Priyanshu was chasing the female lead singer, Tripti, of a rock band, whom he had recently heard in one of their concerts, Anshul had come to Shillong on an expedition- a solo bike trip. They come to know about each other and bond over, for the very first time as they had never been friends, back in school. They had never known about each other, other than the gossips from other friends.
Both the protagonists of the story soon become a part of the unusual expedition. They spend quality time with each other, as they had no other acquaintances in Shillong. Both of them shares their stories, how did they decide to come to Shillong, and what was their next plan. Priyanshu, an aspiring music composer, had quite an impromptu plan, because she was chasing the lead singer but was unsure of her exact location, which was quite obvious. But the sole reason of his chasing her was because he thought that he liked her, and of course, he was her fan. Anshul, on the other hand, portrayed the image of the girl, every young girl aspires to be. A corporate lawyer in the making, she was quite bored of her job and one day, decided to get onto a solo bike trip, to which her family members didn't show much support, though.
The bond that both of them shares and forms, in here, in Shillong is cherishable. They, within a soan of three days, seem to have known each other quite well. They discuss about their feelings, shares their opinions on topics like relationships, dreams and aspirations.
The story features pure bond of love and friendship that two of them shares, and the backgroung of Shillong was quite a visual treat. Moreover, the background song, Majboor, gives a romantic touch to the story.
I feel that this is really a sweet story with a feel good factor in it. This web-series, an original web-series, produced by Zoom, is available on YouTube. So, what are you waiting for? Binge watch and be a part of an amazing unpredictable expedition, filled with adventure and love.

A beautiful heart-rendering story of a mother and her son. Mother Suhasini wants to start a food delivery business besides her son Aditya, who after getting sacked from the company like his other friends, finds it difficult to adjust in any other company where he gets selected for the HR post. They gradually set up their own business, Aai's Kitchen, which eventually becomes very famous and flourishes over a short time period. The business gets to see the peak of it's success, with the immense of Shreya, a food blogger, who initially gave a negative review about their food. Aditya's Aai, Suhasini, is a simple woman with dreams and aspirations like we have. She always wanted to do something of her own, something that she feels like doing. The magic in her hands, in her spices, leaves everyone spellbound after they taste the dishes prepared by her- be its Aditya's colleagues or the officer who was in charge of the fire safety provision in business, or be it the head of the company, or Aditya's friend turned enemy, who was in the HR of the company, from where they were sacked.
This is a truely inspiring story which is recommended for one and all. It portrays the beautiful bond between a mother and a son, which is in one word, soothing. It portrays the bond that Shreya ans Aditya share with each other, more than being business partners. The bond between a mother and her son is something that cannot be explained in words, but "a mother's heart is always with her children"; somewhere while growing up, we tend to forget the reason of our happiness, the struggles made by our mother to make us successful, one day. The immense hardwork that she does to make our every day beautiful, to see a smile on our face- there can be ups and downs in business, in life, but we must know to celebrate and appreciate the contribution of our mothers, in our lives.
It shows and teaches us that we must not take mothers, for granted. Their innocence, love is pure; they have full faith in us unlike anybody.
Neliima Azeem as Aai and Ayush Mehra as Adity have portrayed the roles very beautifully, and they have done a great job. Shreya Gupto as Shreya, yhe food blogger, had also played a pivotal role in this. As it has been portrayed in the story, Suhasini's food tasted absolutely like "ghar ka khana" because it made made by a mother "with more love and less masalas."
