Convent Junction is a story of a girl, who grew up in the city of Vizag (Visakhapatnam), in the state of Andhra Pradesh. She has a lovely and secure childhood in a close knit family. Her parents and two elder sisters are the center of her existence. The family is totally at peace with their lives. The story narrates the simple pleasures, occupations and trips that the family takes. It describes the way of life in the 80s and 90s in a middle class Indian household. The situation is quite different in the present time, when the young girl has become a bitter and negative housewife. The story picks up where she is facing the difficulties and challenges of middle age, and the conflicting pressures of being an ideal homemaker and a professional, between following her heart and the norms of society. Some of the themes that the story narrates are the values of rural and urban India, friendship and love, family and responsibilities, education and independent thinking, modern and tradition ways of life, harmony and belongingness to a place.
