"Honesty is the greatest of all virtues" was the motto of old Khazanchi, in appreciatin of which the Northern India Bank had presen- ted him with a gold watch. He wished to hand it over to his son, Harish, aspiring to be a lawyer, so as to be a beacom to guide him along the path of honesty. . Harish and Geeta were the light of Khazanchis eyes, whose pranks and frivolities brought warmth and sunshine to his lonely life. Geeta was innocent of lifes storms, while Harish fell a victim to its upheavals Accidently two brought together Harish and Usha-the romantic victims of cupids arrow.
