Shekhar Dayal has moved into a new neighbourhood and is just not pleased with the new surroundings. He resents the noise children make while playing, as he prefers quiet and solitude. His reclusion is shattered when his neighbour, Milli, comes into his life.

At first he hates the intrusion, but then grows to be fond, and then ultimately fall in love with her. When the time comes for him to propose to this sunny, cheerful and positive young lady, he is told that she has only a few more months to live.
