Prologue

The cool breeze, which blew from the Yamuna,
was gathering heat from a pyre which was lighting
up the evening
atmosphere. I was
reminded of him. He was a nice, brave & helpful man, a handsome,
crystal-hearted, decent & romantic guy to me
and a near-perfect
son for his
family.
This was quite true as he was the
only son of
his parents and had only a few friends who
all had such
an opinion about
Akshant Kautilya and that he had got to be with at movies, malls,
his favorite bunks,
various libraries, classes
and various outside
places with them only.
Akshant was his unique
name. His name meant nothing
in particular, just an amalgam
of both his parents' names
initials and first
names respectively, Arjun Kautilya Sharma
(AKS) and Shanti
Sharma. He was born on a stormy,
chilly, rainy winter
night on the 22nd of December, 1990.
