Chapter 1: UNKNOWN CITY
"As they boarded the train, Shekhar and Puja held each other tight, their hearts still racing from the chaos they had left behind. The riots had torn through Dhaka, leaving destruction and death in their wake. The newly independent nation of Bangladesh was struggling to find its footing, and the Hindu-Muslim tensions were running high. Shekhar and Puja had found love despite the odds, but now they were forced to flee for their lives. Calcutta, in India, was their destination, a city that promised safety and a new beginning. But as the train chugged along the tracks, they couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty that lingered, like the smoke from the burning cities they had left behind."
"As the train pulled into Howrah Station, Shekhar and Puja gazed out at the unfamiliar sights and sounds of Calcutta. The bustling platform, the cacophony of horns and chatter, the smell of spices and food wafting through the air – everything was overwhelming. With no money, no jobs, and no connections, they felt adrift in a strange land. They had hoped to find shelter with distant relatives, but those contacts had dried up, leaving them to fend for themselves. As night began to fall, they huddled together on the platform, wondering where they would sleep, what they would eat, and how they would survive in this vast, impersonal city."
