Families are like the
sweet mangoes of Aamnagri—messy, filled with juicy secrets and sticking
together through all times. The Awasthis of Aamnagri are the
quintessential Indian family, who bumble through their lives encountering
missing jewels and stolen eggs, deaths foretold, averted and a suspected
suicide with no body. The mysteries are solved by the inquisitive minds of
young Lakshmi and Guddu and the saffron-clad Guruji.
With charming agility,
the Awasthis sail through life and its quirks. The advent of God-men, genuine
and fake, is a source of both relief and embarrassment for them. But not for
the Lady of the Mansion—Mataji. She is the sutradhar
who strings this tale of silk sarees and talking parrots together, who handles
bedridden bahus and in-danger bhaiyyas with equal ease, who is
tyrannical and vulnerable at the same time. And through whom the Awasthi family
discovers that happy endings come for a price—of truth and love.
All over a game of
bridge!
