A story

Nachiket
(cousins
who
are
best
friends)
standing
on
the
crossroads
of
life.
They

choose
between
a
petty,
worldly,
small
existence
and
taking
to
the
sky
in
a
life
of
free
existence.
In
their
rather
unusual
game
of
hide
and
seek,
one
cousin

amongst
death,
whilst
the
other
searches
in
the
living
world
around
him.
Samir’s
search
leads
him
towards
experiencing
oneness
when
he
and
Nachiket
are
reunited.
