The story revolves around the love life in the professional field of the three protagonists: Pablo Majumdar, Aditi Mitra and Swatilekha Sen, who work in different IT companies at Sector V. Anusua Das is a co-worker at Pablo's workplace. Pablo and Aditi cross paths in their professional sphere regarding sharing a flat. Aditi had to travel 20km daily to her office, thus often reporting late for work. With her job being important, she was desperately looking for a place to stay that’s closer to her office. On the other side, Pablo was searching for another shared accommodation since his flatmate was getting married. In the meantime, he found a shared accommodation but, unknown to him, his flatmate was a woman (Aditi). So, to avoid any conflicts, the building’s caretaker made an arrangement where both Pablo and Aditi could live in the flat without ever knowing each other, owing to their different work schedules. Thus, while Pablo stayed in the flat during the daytime due to his night office, Aditi stayed in the nights as her office time was in the day. In this way, they lived in the same flat, but without crossing each other's paths. They shared food, newspapers, cacti and yet remained unknown to each other. Short sticky notes pasted on the common refrigerator became their mode of conversation. But one day, Pablo came to know that his flatmate is not a guy, but a girl.
