In the suffocating, monsoon-drenched afternoons of 2015 in Varanasi, five friends occupy the last bench of Class 12-B. Hidden behind thick textbooks and sharing five-rupee cups of chai, they are the daydreamers and rebels who find more poetry in a broken ceiling fan than in the rigorous geometry of the blackboard. Together—Rajesh, the hopeless poet; Nishant, the mechanic's son; Saanvi, the pragmatic architect; Priti, the straight-spined medical dropper; and Kabir, their soft-spoken, tragic ballast—they believe their bond is as infinite as the teak wood beneath their elbows.
