Story
Naina Mathur suffers from Tourette syndrome . She dreams of becoming a teacher, but because of her illness she is denied work. Once she was offered a job at St. Notker’s school and was given a 9F class consisting of the children of a poor neighborhood.

Through the thorns of teaching, Naina takes control of the situation and copes with the task.
