Love has many forms. Every seeker may have their own journey towards it, each one filled with its own set of obstacles and life lessons. For Gayathri, a chance encounter with a Gynaecologic Oncologist reminds her of her own belief in a soulmate and helps her embrace self-love. For Charanjeet, love is about getting over his helplessness and working to strengthen his marriage, building his family. Joseph had to first encounter himself, deal with his own anger and shame to find his expression, before he could accept someone’s love. Ranganayaki’s journey is that of learning to stand up for herself in an unsupportive environment and yet viewing the world through the lens of humour along with her strong faith on her ‘Ranga’. Suraiya had to allow the churning in her to realize that self-care is not selfish, while facing up to her disappointing marriage and walking out of it. They say Love Conquers All; here are stories of a few common people who had to break the shackles – sometimes of traditions, sometimes of societal norms and at times even their own expectations to reach their destinations. As they conquered, they embodied HOPE. After all, LOVE is the source of HOPE.

There is no motive without a reason. Just like a coin has two sides, every word’s meaning has its own understanding. To the best of my ability and in order to put forth an important ideology across, I have managed to analyze and interpret certain happenings with different interpretations and connotations. We know that several rivers and numerous waterfalls merge into the sea, but where are these diverse set of characters and small stories travelling towards? Will they all meet at the point of destruction or creation? Nowadays, with almost everything coming under the radar, what if there is a significant something which has still managed to escaped this, trying to take over creation? It is the destructive poison Halahal, which is extremely powerful, and even the Devas and Demons hide themselves in fear! What if this poison is about to devastate the earth? This full-fledged war is between the forces of the endless energy on one side and an army of absolute supremacy on the other – and the self-centered citizens of the world helplessly watch whatever is happening.
