In the late afternoon of a weekend somewhere in a library in India...Aarushi and her friends scurried around the library corridors and bookshelves, their little feet running across the floors, the sounds echoing off the walls of the otherwise quiet library. Aarushi herself tried to reach for one of the books in the bookshelves with her little hands, her fluffy frock flaying around her as she struggled. She let out a soft whine when she was unsuccessful, her whining quickly replaced by a gentle chuckle of the librarian lady, Old Mrs Neeta. She walked over with her slow steps and fetched the book Aarushi wanted, making Aarushi giggle and jump in happiness, her chubby cheeks turning pink and her eyes smiling.
