Summary:
Keshu was deaf and dumb since birth. Being quite mischievous, there was never ending complaints from the villagers. His uncle had no choice but to punish him, but to no avail. This was the time when Shalini, a teacher transferred to that village started living with the family. Keshu did not spare her too from his mischief, but she did not complain to anyone, and instead started liking him. He reciprocated the affection shown to him and there was a gradual change in his behaviour. She encouraged him to take up drawing and even convinced his uncle to put him in a special school.When he wins an international award for his painting, "The elephant and the Mahout", he becomes the darling of the whole village. The end of the happy chapter came in the form of a letter to Shalini having her marriage arranged. Her return was a torment to him, his family as well as Shalini. Whenever the train in which Shalini left, passed by, he made it a habit to wait at the railway station. The sound of the train tearing away the darkness tore his heart as well. He realises the folly of hoping for a return of someone lets his uncle take him back to the world of colours and lines.
