Story

This is a story [1] about a girl named Gul, who starts her journey for success from her hometown Jaipur. She is hungry for success so she decides to go to the city of dreams, Mumbai. When she is leaving for Mumbai, her mother gives her a Diary. She says to Gul that it will be very helpful if she records her day-to-day activities in the Diary. She also gives her a Note, on which there are some knowledgeable lines written.

In Mumbai she works for a Fashion House. She stays with her friends Piya, who works as an accountant in the same Fashion[2] House, and with Carol, who is an owner of a Spa.

When she starts her journey in Mumbai she forgets each and every relationship in the thirst for success. She uses people as stairs in her journey of life in order to reach to the top. She even takes the Diary and the Note as a joke. But when she reaches the peak, she finds out that while running for success she has hurt many people knowingly or sometimes even without any intention. She had abused many people who tried to correct her and now currently she has nobody to celebrate her newfound success. Her errant and reckless lifestyle and line approach to achieve her goal made her lose every friend in life.

So she starts reading her Diary from the start just to find[3] out if she has treated someone to the worst degree. Also the Notes Lines starts ringing in her head helping her realize her mistakes and also telling her to apologize to them.

When she decides to correct all the mistakes she has made in the past i.e. to apologize to each and everyone she has hurt, she finds out the truth about Mumbai and the Corporate World. She is so shocked seeing the response of the people that she decides to stay the way she is. She also refuses to listen to her Mother because she thinks because of the Diary and the Note she went to correct things which in-turn became a joke on herself.

Arrogant, Reckless, Social and a Dreamer who will continue her journey for more success but in her own way.
