Prelude

In the heart of Pune's monsoon season, where office buildings scrape the sky and dreams often drown in corporate mediocrity, something extraordinary happens every time the clouds gather. Nimisha Mathur has discovered a secret that the universe has been whispering through raindrops for centuries: precipitation is not random, but purposeful. When the first drops fall on the night of her greatest professional disappointment, she encounters Dhanush Gherwal, a logic-driven software engineer who believes that weather is merely atmospheric science. But as their chance meetings on a rain-soaked balcony become a ritual, both begin to question everything they thought they knew about coincidence, destiny, and the mysterious forces that orchestrate human connection. Some storms change the landscape. Others change everything.
