The clock strikes eight in the Sunday morning, and Krishna has just had four hours of sleep after a late night doing taxes. His wife, Meera, wakes him with an angry, accusatory scream: "It's time! We need to be there by 9. Wakeup soon! This is my cousin's engagement. Have you forgotten?”

As angry as hell, I am keeping quiet because the more we fight, the more defensive we will become and the more lash out will happen. After all, it is Sunday. Sunday is supposed to be happy. 

In the meantime, Meera is thinking: it's my little cousin sister's engagement today. I'm taking care of the household chores while my family members are so excited to see me. As usual, I will stand beside them like a fool. What will they think of my appearance? I didn't have my facial done, and he hadn't bought me any party wear. My life was like a fairy tale before I married. But now?  Besides, there is no point asking him anything, he is never going to understand what I'm saying. If he can get ready soon, it is fine for now.   

Two years have passed since Meera and Krishna were married. The couple didn't have a child yet. They used to fight every day. Eventually, the misunderstanding reached its core. Krishna works for a top company, while Meera is a housewife. They grew hateful toward one another. 

One day, Krishna went on a business trip. Meera was unhappy with her marriage life. Since they got married, Krishna has never taken her out. Meera never gets time with Krishna as he's always busy. She spends her days doing household chores and watching TV. Her life was miserable. After that, she fell asleep.

When she wakes up the next day,

What's going on? What am I doing here? How do I get
here? Why am I wearing pajamas? In the mirror, Meera checked herself out. Astonished to hell, she cried. It wasn't Meera but Krishna. Meera's soul inhabited Krishna's body. What am I doing here? Isn't that the worst nightmare of all? Is this really happening to me? What should I do now? What happened to my body? What happened to my husband? Meera was terrified.

Meanwhile, Krishna wakes up and realizes he is in Meera's body. He too was terrified. While looking for his mobile phone, he spotted meera's and made a call. Meera  answered the call and began to cry. Trying to convince Meera that everything will work out, he told her to follow his instructions. Krishna directed Meera on how to conduct the business meeting. Even though she was terrified, Meera managed to accomplish the task. There was so much rudeness and selfishness. Despite her best efforts, Meera isn't able to cope with the stress at work. Calls from both clients and managers are extremely frequent. Meera has to convince everyone. Meera was so exhausted that she couldn't find the time to sleep. Krishna's life became clear to Meera as she discovered how difficult it is. He had been doing so many things to earn money. However, I am complaining and fighting for silly things. How stupid I am. Meera promised herself that she was going to take care of Krishna like a king.

Meanwhile, Krishna is unable to cook food or do household chores properly. He suddenly felt severe stomach pain and called Meera to find out what was wrong. Meera explained him that it is just her monthly cycle and gave instructions on how to take care. The pain is too much for him to bear. Moreover, Meera's family members arrived. As he was dying in pain, he could not properly
serve them. They were excited about their cousin's wedding. They showed pictures of the saree and jewels they bought for the marriage. In addition, they talked about how they have been spending their holidays with their husbands. A conversation started about their vacation trips and how their husbands care for them.

A cousin started her advice by asking: How many times do I need to tell you? Krishna doesn't love you. Kick him out of your life. He never deserved your love. Check yourself out. You don't realize your value. You are such a beautiful girl and you don't deserve to be treated like a maid. It has been more than six months since we discussed your divorce. You haven't heard me. Let's tell me the good news instead of saying "I love Krishna." I grow tired of hearing those words. Who knows, maybe he has an affair with someone at his office. You can put an end to your misery by taking action now. Think about it and decide, she said and left.

Krishna began to realize what Meera has been through. She always loved me even though I treated her like this. Krishna too promised himself that he would take care of her like a queen.

Finally, they met after the business meeting.

They hugged each other and tears streamed down their faces. Upon awakening the next morning, they were delighted to find themselves back in their own bodies. Together, they began a new life.

Note: Misunderstandings can sour a beautiful relationship. Understanding a life partner does not require swapping the soul. Try to see things from your partner's perspective.
