EPISODE 2
Mussoorie never slept early.
Tourists left, locals returned, and phones kept buzzing with work-related messages.
For Kavya Joshi, chats were rarely personal—mostly bookings, timings, payments...
Another unknown number appeared on her screen...
She sighed, adjusted the strap of her bag, and replied...
UNKNOWN
Hi. Is this Kavya Joshi?...📲
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML

KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Which places are you planning to visit?...📲
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Not the popular ones....📲
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Most people ask for viewpoints and cafés....📲
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
I’m not most people....📲
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Then what exactly are you looking for?...📲
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Quiet roads.
Empty stretches.
Places people don’t stop at....📲
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
That’s unusual....📲
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
I’m a photographer....📲
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Professional?...📲
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Trying to be....📲
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Alright.
My charges are fixed. Per day....📲

ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
One more thing....📲
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
If I stop somewhere without saying anything…
it’s because I saw something worth clicking....📲
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
I’ll wait....📲
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
That’s enough....📲
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
**seen...**
The chat ends there.
No emojis. No warmth. No promises.
Just two names saved under work contacts....
Tomorrow was scheduled.
Nothing else was....
Some conversations don’t feel important at first...
They only become unfinished later...

EPISODE 3
The morning mist hugged the narrow streets of Mussoorie.
Kavya Joshi waited at the bus stand, scarf wrapped tightly, hands in her coat pockets. She wasn’t expecting anything unusual—just another client, another two days of guiding—but her phone buzzed with messages she couldn’t ignore....
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Hi, Kavya?...📲
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Yes, over here....
(sees the message and wave her hand..)
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Ishaan Malhotra. You must be Kavya Joshi....
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
That’s me. You’re Ishaan?
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Yes. Sorry if I kept you waiting....
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Bus was on time. You’re fine....
They shake hands quickly. Ishaan’s grip is firm, but not overly confident....
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Thanks for waiting....
(smiles)
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
It’s part of the job
(smile back)
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
You like mornings...?
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Depends. Quiet ones are nice...
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Good. That’s what I’m looking for. Quiet, empty roads...
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Then the old road will be perfect. Less crowd, more space...
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Lead the way.. 🫴
They begin walking. Ishaan’s camera bag bounces lightly with each step. Kavya moves ahead slightly, glancing back now and then...
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
So… what exactly are you hoping to capture?...
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Moments people usually miss. Shadows, reflections… stories hidden in plain sight...
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
That’s… unusual...
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Most people want postcards. I want frames that last in memory...
A gentle silence falls between them. Mist curls around the trees, the road ahead empty....
ISHAAN MALHOTRA/ML
Sometimes, the best frames wait for no one....
KAVYA JOSHI/FL
Then we’ll make them wait just long enough....
