In Bangladesh, few institutional names carry as much weight as Viqarunnisa Noon School & College (VNC).

For decades, it has been the breeding ground for the nation’s future leaders, doctors, engineers, and artists.

Her romantic storyline plays out in the 30 minutes of "tiffin break" when she sneaks a call on her Nokia button-phone, or in the weekly "study date" at the National Museum (which is, famously, the only "safe" neutral ground between VNC and NDC).
