t's the story of Anya, a very prodigious young girl who is the unwanted child of her mother. Anya is young, free spirited and talented but the one thing she hides well from the rest of the world is that she always holds herself in contempt - for not being able to be a daughter lovable enough to have evoked motherly feelings in Mrs Sushma Bakshi - her mother . The story traces Anya's journey from infancy through adolescence & finally adulthood & how she handles the trials & tribulations in her life. Many a times in her journey Anya felt like the proverbial black swan, two factions fighting inside her head trying to get control of her mind. Her lover Anish too gets entangled in Anya's struggle with the darker shades of herself. So that finally it all boils down to only one question - Does Anya emerge a winner in the litmus test against her own more humanly emotions of vindictiveness & vengeance or does she has enough piousness to hold her at the edge..
