Skipped Beats
From time primordial, mortals when pushed to the precipice have returned with immortal capabilities. They have played the piano from the edge of a cliff and sung full hearted from the throat of obscurity. Let us meet these hidden servers of humanity and take a snapshot of the smiles and tears of their earthly sojourn. – Dr. Shuvendu Sen
