Temporary Answers

Her husband’s unexpected death one evening brings for Dr Vineeta Sohani, windowed at thirty and without a job, a major crisis in her life–complete and utter loneliness. Vineeta’s tumultuous relationships with her mother, stern thought caring, and her sister, suspicious yet vulnerable, force her to define herself anew even as memories of Nagendra continue to drag her into lethargy and desolation. A childhood opportunity. As Vineeta grapples with problems of a career and work at free clinic, she has to deal with a new complication–her growing attraction to geography professor and celebrity playwright, Abhijit Gokhale. While Vineeta painstakingly moulds a new life as a single, independent, working woman, Jai Nimbkar invites us to meditate on the complex strands that weave through human relationships.
