Nimki’s Hidden Past Unfolds Inside the Sengupta Home

Nimki is a girl who was abandoned near a border and brought to live with the Sengupta family.

She works in their home as a maid.

The family will not tell her exactly where she came from or how old she is.

They also worry because she has no birth certificate.

Nimki guesses that she is eleven years old.

She takes care of Bagha, the family dog, even though the dog receives better treatment than she does.

Nimki feels lonely and sometimes envies Bagha.

Still, she and the dog become close friends as they look out over the neighborhood together.
