B Ground West: ..a drift into kgp..

Kabir Jha has gone into depression and no one knows why. Why does a young man quit his MNC job and withdraw from social life? B Ground West charts his journey with friends at IIT Khargpur. Kabir's friends Faiz and Monulal narrate their lives at college to his psychiatrist Nutan. With one story each semester portrays the life of indiscipline and insincerity at an academic institute, encapsulating a journey of love, internal strife, ambitions, successes and disappointments. They discuss sex with drunken alumni, smoke weed to mourn the death of Ingmar Bergman, romance a German exchange student, miss exams, and then mess up their Masters research project. In the midst of all this lies the story of Kabir's love for Ruh, daughter of an alumnus. Throughout this journey, they meet many people; some of them who scar and others who heal. The central characters continuously do soul-searching through these experiences.
