Vairagya

After failing his 12th grade board exams, 19-year-old Sanish starts avoiding everyone around him. His father, Rajesh, drops him off at the tuition center daily, but Sanish regularly skips classes and wanders around aimlessly. One day, standing on an overhead bridge, he becomes lost in his thoughts. Sanish’s friends find him on the bridge and try to engage him, but he remains distant. At a bus stop, he watches a young couple and quickly looks away when the girl notices him.
Back home, his mother, Kabita, talks to his elder brother on the phone. Sanish enters, takes the phone from his mother, speaks briefly, and then retreats to his room, locking the door.
Late at night, unable to sleep, Sanish remembers his time on the bridge. He stares at the ceiling, then moves to his cupboard and confronts his reflection, which seems to talk back, reminding him of his breakup with his girlfriend.
The next morning, Sanish finds medicine in his tea, placed by his mother. Angered, he confronts her, slams the cup on the table, and leaves the kitchen in a rage.
Later, Sanish stands on the overhead bridge again, watching a large truck approach. He grips the railing and steps forward, the truck coming at full pace towards him.
