Sudhām’s Eighteen The End Of Innocence is a story about the
drastic changes one faces when he/she becomes 18, it is the time to decide what
career does one wants to choose & also prepare for the upcoming hardships
which also might include separation from friends but it also includes self dependence
& freedom.
The story is set in 1990s Delhi & starts with our main
character S. Raghuram, a 17 year old boy appearing for boards as well as
preparing for his entrance exams at a coaching institute, which proved itself
to form a link to Svetlana. But it didn’t actually planned out as the way they
wanted it to be *typical first love*. In the mean time he has been receiving blank
calls which really have been taking a toll on him. While life was getting along
with his best friend Aadi AKA Aditya Mohan Sharma his partner in crime &
other friends he suddenly met with Shalini who also claimed to be receiving
those blank calls. This link proved to be a boon for them but who was the
caller & what was his/her motive behind it?
This story will take you on a ride when you were 18 &
the choices you or your friends made. The kind of rush young adults feel when
they finally find ‘freedom’ which if not controlled can lead into difficult
situations. The story is simple yet will surely take you down on a stroll to
the memory lane..
