Aalan

In 1986, at Poombarai, Kodaikanal, Thyagu is a toddler surrounded by his loving joint family. Thyagu's grandfather encourages him to pursue a literary path as he grewup. Years pass by and Thyagu's paternal uncles, driven by avarice, seek to usurp the entire inheritance, and so stage an accident during a family trip to Rameswaram, claiming the lives of nearly everyone in the van. Thyagu's maternal uncle rescues him and places him in a Chennai mansion, unaware to Thyagu that his cousin, Thamarai, is lying in coma. Years later, in 1999, a restless Thyagu, now a young adolescent, wandered along the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. There, a compassionate "Guruji" named Desikar Adigalar rescues him to his mutt. Despite the serene environment, Thyagu struggles to find inner peace, his mind consumed by turmoil, making meditation and prayer elusive. In 2010, recognizing Thyagu's struggles with spirituality, the Guruji encourages him to pursue his passion for writing.
