It is a story of strong will, perseverance and optimism which will move you to wonder if whether at all there are any limitations in life. Is sky really the limit? Is the end really the end?

There is happiness and joy in every aspect, we just need to look harder and look in the right places.

They have felt alone and helpless like I did once upon a time but ultimately even if we are all alone, we are together in it.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters as compared to what lies inside us.The story starts with Rish having a heart problem.
