Swastik Roy reflects on his life from a mental asylum, recounting significant events that led to his current state. Ten years prior, on August 19, 2008, he faced a turning point that he deeply regrets. At 35, Swastik is paralyzed and unable to walk, a stark contrast to his earlier passion for football. His story begins with a childhood incident where he was bitten by his pet puppy after repeatedly taking its food, which he hid from his parents out of fear of an injection. This secret weighed heavily on him, though he eventually forgot it, while his best friend Roni, who was like a brother to him, remembered it well. Growing up together, they shared everything, but Roni struggled with panic issues, while Swastik dealt with his own insecurities and habits. As they transitioned into adulthood, they began experimenting with drugs and alcohol, despite knowing the risks involved. Their reckless behavior culminated in a dangerous experience where they injected acid, leading to a period of insensibility. After this incident, they didn't see each other for two days, marking a significant change in their friendship. Swastik's reflections reveal a deep sense of regret and the consequences of their choices.
