The story so far

5th March 2028

Change is not the only constant. Choice is. It is choice that leads to action; it is action that causes change.

Day in and day out, choice is everywhere - the choice to be what we want to be, the choice to do what we want to do. Good and evil, light and darkness, wealth and penury, love and hate, happiness and sadness, are all nothing but the result of the choices we make. When we choose not to choose, we’ve made a choice. Life thus is nothing but a series of choices.

And we have to choose for ourselves, no one else does it for us. It is the ultimate freedom bestowed to a living organism, the freedom to choose, and no one can take that from him. Choice thus is supreme, it is all powerful.

No person believed in the power of choice more than Srijan. He was an ordinary young man, the kind we see all around. ‘Typical boy next door’, they called him. But he wanted more, he wanted it all. He had realized the power of choice. He chose to get what he wanted, and he did. Money, power, fame, love, all kissed his feet. Only, he lacked respect. And now, as the corporate tycoon lay tied up in the corner of the dilapidated warehouse, hungry, dirty and in pain, he looked back at the choices he had made, aware of the fact that he would have to make one of the most important ones of his life, very soon.
