Avantika - "I am Avantika. My parents are working.I have an elder brother and sister. Mine is one of the most respected families in my village. After completing my B.Tech, i joined Excellence IT organization as Software Engineer. I always thought i have got everything i want in my life and I was very happy with my life."

Revathi - "So, what is the issue?"

Avantika - "Now,I am very unhappy with my life.I think, my life sucks. I think, all my friends and the people around me are having a much better life (well, i don't think they deserve it!). And i think, i deserve better things in life. I have not visited any foreign countries till date. I have not met any celebrities. I have not received any awards for my performance at office. I have not yet met Mr.Right.I don't have any talents - i don't dance, I don't sing, I don't have interest in Photography.
