03 | What The Brain Hides, The Spirit Unwinds

Nothing is constant in one's world except one's own sins.
Like his marriage with his dead ex-wife Shivalika?
Was she his sin? Definitely not.
Or was their marriage his sin? Perhaps.
A forced sin.
There are certain secrets between a couple that are only known to them. Friends and family can only play the role of a Cupid and relieve the situation to some extent, but they can't undo the past blunders done by each partner. If two people take the decision to get separated, believe it, they must have thought over it for a considerably long period of time.
Think about it.
A crofter sows hundreds of seeds in his fields per year, but while growing up, some of the saplings are infested by insects, some perish due to the loose hold of their roots on the soil beneath, and some just don't get enough nutrients from the soil required for their sustenance and eventually reach their ultimate demise.
Now, if the situations were to be a little contrasting, a little different, they would have grown up to be healthy crops, wouldn't they?
Maybe.
But then the question arises—why?
Because they are simply not meant to live, and at the very end, only some of them grow up to be healthy crops, and later, they are harvested. Relationships and marriages are exactly like that; not all of them are meant to be, no matter how hard you try or how painstaking your efforts are.
