They write letters, vivid and touching and steamy, pretending to be a former suitor, now in Delhi, still pining for Maya. The girls hope that this prank may bring some light into Maya's life. Ira devises a plan to write love letters to Maya. In time he died and Maya resigned herself to a dreary and solitary life. This was because he stood to inherit her estate. Maya Devi was, and still is, a beautiful girl but her chacha constantly thwarted her marriage (by berating her and chasing away suitors). Anna's mother explains that Maya Devi lost her father early and lived in that house with her chacha (father's brother) and mother. They are very intrigued by their reclusive middle-aged neighbor Maya Devi who lives alone in a large house (with her two dogs) and rarely goes out. They are particularly close and divide their daytime between school and romance novels and boys and, occasionally, sleepovers. The film opens into the lives of teenage girls Anna and Ira, students at a convent (Catholic) school in Shimla.
