"The stadium stands breathless. There are no cheers, no calls. There is only the quiet flurry of anticipation and the beating of a million hearts in tandem. There is only the joined prayers of 2 billion people who are all awaiting a miracle.

The low beeps of a oscilloscope and the dragged in breathes of a life that has fought long and was now on the verge of giving up

A tale of love, redemption and most importantly,  of friendship
