The word Panchtatva refers to the elements of universe that are essential for life. This is a series of 3 short stories that extends the focus from elements necessary for life to those ideas and values necessary for living / leading this life. In doing so, it follows two different species and their common struggles and explores the theme that most, if not all, of what we need in order to figure out people and life is found in the elements and systems of universe that are otherwise ignored because they are seen as lifeless.
Part 1: Reboot - It is about how the systems of the world around him and an evening with his daughter reboots the way a single father looks at life. And how everyone of us, irrespective of who we are, is suffering from the same issues of lack of space, voice and rights.
Part 2: Reason - Having reset his vision towards life and the world, he begins to look into the deeper meaning and truths about what everything around him actually is. He believes it is what education should actually be about but the next generation is missing out on it as the institutions continue to suit their own conveniences. Hence, he pledges to share his wisdom with the youth at the "Shiksha" camps so they aren't stunned when faced with life. But does he know enough himself?
Part 3: Meaning - In this conclusion to this 3 part series, he finally figures out the meaning of life. Though it isn't the one he had been after.

The Twisted Tales
A place where true love expires, good people get fired and beings are nothing but dust. Where stalkers are heroes, society makes zeroes and madness is not in the crust. Some people are killers, and that's just the pillars of what is essentially rust. When you feel you are mad, but that isn't so bad in a world that is oh so unjust. They'll kill you by car, or from quite afar in a world where all life is fleeting. Don't try to protect, you'll just end up wrecked, for you know their hearts are not beating. They'll kill you my sweet, and not drop a beat, for my story is only just heating. Power means all, even more for the small, but power has a habit of retreating. The bodies mount up, many lives will breakup, as I'm here to just tell a story. Don't look in the hill, though it is quite a thrill, I've heard it can get quite gory. Don't play with the heart, and don't think you're too smart, or you'll die with none of the glory. All are mad from the start, but you played your part, in the world of pure purgatory. Alas look a ghost, be careful you're not toast, you must want to see what I see. Society is ruthless, protection is fruitless, for in madness is when you are free. Perfection is dead, from the wounds we all bled, a cruel fate we did not foresee. While outsiders are safer, if only by a wafer, you can still hear them utter a plea. Now my story is frightening, but oh so inviting, so come now and give it a whirl. I can promise some danger, so don't be a stranger, watch now - we will see it unfurl.Complete
The Heart Five
Essence... spirit... that which gives meaning to life. It isn't the soul which is necessary for life. Even when a mortal has a soul, without essence... the mortal becomes an empty shell existing for nothing. Our father, he created us pure and perfect. He doesn't want us to soil our bodies and so he never gave us body parts for procreation. When we rebelled against him because we wanted to have relationships with our own kind, he had no choice but to allow. But with his decision, we are no longer perfect... but we are still pure. Is it because we were jealous of his other creation that we wished to love and procreate? No that's not the only reason. Perfection can be achieve through completeness. Right now we are like mannequins. I thought that this was the only problem amongst our brethren. Then, some of us requested our father about experiencing rebirth so that they can change erase the accumulated memories from specific essences collected from mortals. The Rebirth System... the main reason for the first war where we fell apart and the second reason why this story exists...Complete

Darling In The Stranxx || 016 x 002 ||
|| You probably think it was a typo in the title, but I meant to put that there for a reason || Read to find out ;) ____________________________________________________ A normal planet with a modern society, that is until 50,000 years ago, a strange meteorite crashed upon Earth and leaked its metallic liquid. The man who discovered it decided to make the metallic liquid into arrows. He then buried them underneath his homeland and in the year 2000, it was eventually discovered and monstrous beings called "Klaxosaurs" begin appearing. The arrows were a sign of hope as when exposed to the air, it chose which people to grant powers from. A visual manifestation of life energy to the user. Ordinary people cannot see it, but people who were granted with these powers can see it. It could not be harm by ordinary things, only other special people can hurt it. This was known as a Stranxx, and people who were granted these powers used it to kill the infestation of Klaxosaur. Some used it for good, some used it for bad but they didn't know that there would be a school just to train your Stranxx and fight Klaxosaurs. Thus we focus on our main protagonist, Hiro. He is Stranxxless but he has a dream, and that dream is to be known as the #1 Hero that destroys Klaxosaurs in one swoop. So he thinks that the program will help him fight the Klaxosaurs. Who knows what will happen.Complete

There are two primary choices in life : to accept conditions as they exist or accept responsibility for changing them - Devakinandana Vāsudeva Krishna. "You know what is right and what is wrong, husband," She said softly, looking into his dark eyes filled with emotional turmoil, "But be assured that you would have take responsibility for your actions." Radheya glanced at the child, Arjuna's son, sprawled on the ground bleeding from various places. His beloved wife's words, spoken when he broke down in front of her after he found out his birth truth, played ceaselessly in his mind. Her voice had been firm and unyielding that day. She had given him the strength he had needed to make the decision to stay with Duryodhana till the end. But...this? He gulped, wondering if he could watch his nephew's death, so near to his eyes. Should he interfere? But hasn't this boy killed his beloved Laxmana? 'What actions you take, remember you would be liable for it,' Radheya thought, a frustrated sigh escaping his lips. Closing his eyes, he made a decision. He just hoped his darling wife would support him in this, otherwise, he had no idea how he would deal with the mess he was about to create. ?️#6 in Kunti ?️#5 in BhishmaComplete
