The Fruit At No.12A
"Room No.12A had a soul of it’s own, the humans within neither
cared for nor hated time. It was something that didn’t dictate their
lives, an acquaintance who visited occasionally."

I live in India, the 2nd most overpopulated country in the world
and yet sex and love are taboo topics unless it is in the
conventional context of marriage. There is a movement in the
world of young and old people drifting away from traditional
marriages and relationships where the roles are typecast. We now
want to explore ourselves and marriage is an option many choose
to avoid. The series explores a made up world of two fictional
characters in an unconventional relationship.
