Aranya and Ishan are neighbours. They live alone, each in their own home. They are in the autumn of their lives. And theirs is a rare friendship. She is impulsive, anarchic and fiercely feminist. He is gentle, sensitive, orderly and believes in the institution of family, even though he has no one to call his own. The two of them banter about time, existentialism, changing cities, food, music and people in general. They think aloud about ageing and death, and wonder whether living the way they do amounts to biding time.
