This is my grandfather's story, or rather, incidents he narrated to me, as a child. I grew up listening to him tell to me stories of Mahabharata, Ramayana and his life. His was a rags to comfortable homes story, if that means anything. I wanted to name this "Not the ordinary rags to riches" except for the fact that he never got rich - the morals that he held in this universe conflicted with the parallel version where he takes up the chance of getting filthy rich. I don't really believe in morals a lot, but I am very proud to be his daughter. I was not going to write about him till my art was perfect enough to reflect his person, and till as many people knew me as many can know a person in a lifetime so that he would be read about a lot, but i woke up this morning in a lovely mood, and i couldn't remember his name, and the spoken word artist from "14 Lines from love letters and suicide notes" had said that waiting for the right time, sometimes, means waiting forever. I have to write him down now. The best i know. The best I can remember.

Why is it that whatever you do, no matter how much you scrub that shirt, it is never as white as it was when you first bought it? Why is it that no matter how much you study, your mind doesn't work as fast as it did when you were younger? Why is it you try your best to change and people still define you and hold you to something you no longer are or try not to be? Well enough is enough. I will no longer ask why. I will no longer be put down. I will no longer be the Jaahil, Gusse wala, Gawar. I will no longer be Shiva the husband, the son, the brother or even a Pandya. I will be Shiva . I will be me This is a journey which takes off after the current storyline but to alternate route. It's mostly Shiva but we will see raavi viewpoint too. There will be some new characters vital to the story. Please comment
