A writer is struggling to come up with a concept for a pressing project. Her illustrator is already out of patience and frantically calling her for a draft so that she can start her own work in time, but to little avail. At the same time, our protagonist is also battling a medical issue she is yet to find out the specifics of.

As all of these parts finally come into harmony and a doctor dispels her doubts and unease, the protagonist also finds herself making way to a fresh story. In the process, the narrative attempts a relevant comment on menstruation, the taboo surrounding it, the suffering it causes in women's lives on a daily basis, and most important of all, the role of each and everyone of us in effecting the change that is required in the conversation surrounding women's health and access to resources needed especially during their period.
