Synopsis : Amidst the autumn avenue in Ulukunchi of West Karbi Anglong, "Sikaisal" in its true essence is a dream which Maheshwar Patar, who singularly tasted the fruit of knowledge in his native land has built it with his bare hands. Our protagonist is a teacher by heart. His journey begins as the sole primary school teacher and sees a ray of hope when his school is government recognised, aiding him to retire in solace. But his dream is broken to learn that no teacher ever joined and saw the school filled with leaves rather than students. Education has never been the priority among the denizens, but his persistence left no stone unturned to rectify, only to face, long nights filled with failure.
