“Hi, I am Trisha Agarwal, a 35-year-old married woman with a beautiful life but no children. As much as I’d like to believe that becoming a mother is a possibility, I know that there is an equal or maybe a higher probability that I will win a lottery than getting pregnant.” Trisha had always been a happy-go-lucky person who looked at the brighter side of things, till the day she started planning a baby. Soon she realized that there was nothing natural about trying to conceive naturally. To add to her woes, her younger sister, Mishti, was blessed with a baby without much ado. With her biological clock ticking at a pace faster than daily inflation, she decided to take charge and embrace the world of fertility treatments with the confidence that in no time she would be flaunting her baby bump. But soon she realized that the world of fertility treatments was not just overwhelming but also complex, demanding and expensive. From a wide range of blood tests to ovulation trackers, hormonal medicines, transvaginal scans, painful injections and seeking divine intervention, she endured it all and yet did not give up hope. She has come a long way from where she started (considering her dwindling bank balance), has been through a roller coaster of emotions (blame the hormonal injections) and learned a few valuable lessons about herself (she still sucks at accepting failures) in this incredible but daunting mission of conceiving a baby. Will she succeed in this arduous mission?

She never thought she'd be welcomed with open arms, but she didn't expect to be avoided like she had some sort of communicable disease, either. She'd done all of the research, a brief internship at a popular restaurant, and gone through all of the changes the City put her through.

She had no choice but to hire some riffraff whose ultimate intensions were to deplete her resources, a Muslim who refused to touch pork because of his religious believes and a psycho who came to work with his house hold belongs his first day of work. What else did they want from her? What else could go wrong? She'd been challenged and tried and she was weary from the rollercoaster ride they'd taken her on.
