Kashinath is having his own business and running a small office. His secretary is a young lady who wants to marry him but has never expressed her feelings verbally. She tries to seduce him by all possible means so that he will propose her some day. Although he acts as if he is not interested in her, he does have some sexual feelings towards her. Kashinath is a bachelor and has no women in his life, his mother always insist him to get married and he too is trying hard to get a Woman.
