Life is a mystery – from exclamations of birth to piercing pains of death, from the fated meet-ups ecstasies to break-up shames, and from the lifts of feat to bends of defeat. This book explores these facets of life. The vastness of meaning goes beyond our human understanding of life. One must live it for him or her to appreciate the complex dynamisms of existence. The gamut of our reality reminds us to fully live our lives so that we partly fathom these mysteries. Our stories are just parts of the whole existential narratives.
