    In the heart of bustling India, there lived an architect couple, Ravi and Meera. Ravi and Meera were gifted architects, but fate had different plans for them. While Ravi struggled to find his footing in the professional world, Meera's career took off, elevating her to the position of one of the top architects in the country.

    Ravi, no longer able to bear the brunt of his unsuccessful career, decided to assist his wife in her architectural firm. He became her secretary, diligently assisting her in the day-to-day affairs of the firm.

    Ravi, despite being her husband, was not spared from Meera's professional dominance. He yearned for opportunities to prove his worth, but Meera, the domineering boss, continued to keep him as her secretary.

    Their home life was not much different from their professional life. Meera, engrossed in her work, often brought her authoritative demeanor home. Ravi, although saddened, had made peace with his circumstances.

    Amidst the hustle of the architectural world, Meera and Ravi found solace in the little moments with their children. However, Meera's stern persona remained intact, making her a strict disciplinarian at home.

    As the twins grew older, they began to notice the disparity between their parents' professional lives. They admired their mother's success but were saddened by their father's unfulfilled dreams.
