Raasta Goa

Ayaan Naik has spent most of his life believing that bigger dreams belong to other people. He is the quiet Goan boy from a small house, the son of a garage mechanic, and the engineering student who has mastered the art of making himself look smaller than he really is. Then he meets Meera Nair. She sees through him before anyone else does.

Along with Kabir and Raghav, they turn college into four years of friendship, festivals, terrible jokes, shared dreams and countless evenings at Ayaan's home - where an old chair near the window quietly becomes Meera's place. And somewhere between friendship and the future, Ayaan and Meera fall in love.

But when placement season gives Meera the career she deserves and leaves Ayaan facing rejection after rejection, his oldest fear returns: that one day she will outgrow him. So when distance finally comes, Ayaan does what frightened people sometimes do. He leaves first without actually going anywhere.

Five years later, Ayaan is the founder of Raasta Goa, a company changing the way travellers discover his home. On the biggest day of his career, he looks towards the last row of an auditorium -

and finds Meera watching him. What Ayaan does not know is that she has been part of his journey for far longer than he imagined.

Raasta Goa is a story about friendship, first love, ambition, silence and second chances - and about discovering that home is not the place that never changes. It is the place that still makes room when you return.
