About
The Book

Love. Friendship. Betrayal. And a road that changes everything.

For Aditya and his friends from a Pune media college, life is all about cameras, crushes, break-ups, and big dreams—especially when one of their travel buddies happens to be that girl from class. When their team gets selected for a prestigious documentary competition, they choose the raw, mysterious heart of Vidarbha as their subject.

What begins as an exciting road trip from Pune to Chandrapur soon turns into a journey they never imagined.

Beyond the highways lie forests that whisper secrets, villages that stage stories of survival, and a land where danger wears many faces—from fiery Naxalite shadows to the silent hunt of a striped tiger.

Each encounter strips away their innocence.

Each mile teaches them a lesson.

In the unforgiving Chandrapur–Gadchiroli belt, the camera doesn’t just capture stories—it exposes fears, tests friendships, breaks hearts, and forces Aditya to confront the truth about himself and the girl beside him.

A coming-of-age road trip into love, loss, and the wild realities of life—where the real journey is not across Vidarbha, but within.
