It's a story of two boys Akash and Raghu who are very different to each other , in every aspects but due to education came together . Where Akash belong to a well educated , rich family and school going student (akash's parents are social workers ) while Raghu belong to a very poor family and was a rag picker ( migrant of bangladesh ) and to earn for his & his family one time bread he has to work .
One day while going to school , Akash , look at some of the children wearing torn clothes and picking up the garbage from the trash box Raghu was one of them ; as he was also looking at the Akash with gentle smile wearing school dress with a school bag but there was no response from the side of Akash and he went for school. While returning from school Akash saw the same boy who gave him a mild smile that was Raghu .
This time Akash stopped and went to Raghu , as Raghu was a ragpicker and in search of trash he used to roam everywhere so when Akash went a step towards Raghu , Raghu was shocked by seeing a such gentle and well mannered guy . Excuse me ! said Akash 'kya hua sahab' said Raghu , Akash very well asked Raghu where is my book that you have lifted from the road as it was accidently slipped from my bag and I saw you while lifting that book and can't be able to return back as I was getting late for the school Raghu was scared at all and start saying 'nahi sahab meine. kuch nhi kiya hein or na liya hein mujhe police ke hawale mt krna' but Akash very calmly made Raghu composed , after being composed Raghu Akash left that place . Two days later Akash went for the school from the same road and saw Raghu sitting alone on the edge of the road on a stone piece while holding the same book which was accidentally slliped by from his bag , he went to Raghu said 'mein thodi help krdu' Raghu while seeing him fear flares up and quickly hide his book , with a light grin 'book chupane ki koi jrurt nhi hein mujhe pta hein ki book tmne hi li thi' said Akash mujhe maaf kr dijiye sahab! said Raghu and returned the book to Akash , 'toh kl tumne jhuth kuo bola ki book tmhare pass nhi hein' said Akash 'mujhe laga ki aap mujhe police wale uncle ko de denge ek barr ase hi meine kisi ki keetab chura li thi toh unhone mujhe police wale uncle se bahut marr khilaya tha' said Raghu 'toh tum sabki book churate ho ?' said Akash 'nahi sahab mein keetab churata hu pr sirf padhne ke liye' said Raghu 'matlab' said Akash 'mein padhna chahta hu mujhe padhna bht accha lgata hein par koi school mujhe dakhila nhi dega mein unki fees bhi nhi bharr paunga' said Raghu , Akash with moist eyes 'tum bilkul chinta mt kro mein tumhari madat krunga ☺️tum mujhe apne barre mein btau tm kha se ho tumhara ghar kha hein sb' Raghu told Akash he was a migrant from Bangladesh and belong to a muslim religion and because of riots , they have to come here . Before riots his life was not good but atleast he and his family was living with peace but due to the riots , his life was filled with lots of problems and because of this he has to lost his father and they were forced to shift here . Akash puts his hand on his shoulder and consoul him and said that from now he should not worry about his education as he is going to help him for his study and extend a hand of friendship and after that they both returned to their respective homes . On the other day Akash with his previous year class books went to Raghu and handed over him and told Raghu that now his wish of going to school has been completed soon Raghu while listening this jogged up with excitement and hugged Akash with moist eyes and asked Akash 'parr sahab kaise , ye sab kaise hua' Akash told Raghu that his parents was social workers and when I told about you they agreed to help me and by the help of their source your addmission will be possible and for taking addmission you have to prepare for the entrance exam , entrance exam ... ( in his type of english ) 'ye kya hota hein' said Raghu 'haan entrance exam ye ek tarha ka paper hota hein jo school mein jaane se pehle dena hota hein' said Akash 'par mujhe na toh padhna aata hein or na hi likhna toh mein kaise krunga ye' said Raghu in a malancholy voice but Akash courageously said don't worry I will help you to read and write . After returning from school Akash and Raghu sat daily together for the study at Aksah's home and Akash teaches Raghu till his entrance exam and this brings two boys more close together and became the best friends . And finally the day has come for the announcement of result & Raghu got selected ( yeeeeeeee ) and the tear's of happiness came from both of the eyes , Akash hugged titly Raghu and congratulates him Raghu with full respect touches the feet of Akash and said you are like my god you help me to reach my dream 'sahab' with teary eyes , Akash said no I didn't do anything & any favour to you it's all possible because of your hard work I was just the medium and stop calling me 'sahab' I am not your sahab I am your friend and you should call me with my name and at last they both hugged each other . Now everything is happening good in Raghu's life and by the help of the Akash parents he and his family got a small home to live his mother got a job in a factory , his two little sisters were also going to school and Akash went to abroad for further studies but the friendship between them is still alive whether they were not in touch but still missing each other , their friendship and the moments of laughter , joy ,the memories .
Several years later Akash became the successful Doctor while Raghu became the successful entrepreneur .

Hence , friendship doesn't seen rich or poor it just seen the beauty of heart and the friend who stands for us in our bad time .
