While the uncertainties of a lockdown weigh heavy upon human and her friends; Zainab must run to protect the life of her neighbour. Buried in snow, Rahman is saved by an unexpected rescuer; and atharva finally understands his mother when he is forced to visit his abandoned ancestral home. This collection of short stories explores the lives of the young in a land that is beautiful, warm, yet at times, cold and turbulent; a land where joy and hope Bloom like the crocus sprouting through the dark Earth.
