A documentary that traces Arvind’s 75-year-long journey in the creative world of words as writer-journalist-lexicographer. A journey that begins as 15-year-old Arvind enters a printing press as a mere typesetter, reaches the pinnacle of journalism, and then, gives up the editorship of the highly-acclaimed film magazine Madhuri to fulfil his long-cherished wish for a thesaurus in Hindi. And after twenty long years of solitary endeavour presents the world with Samantar Kosh Hindi Thesaurus, India’s first modern thesaurus. It is the story of one man’s diligence, dedication and devotion.
