    About this ebook

    Amogh has lived a life of a recluse, for more than a decade now. His only reason to stay away from humanity was to avoid experiencing human emotions. For Amogh, he was above Humanity, except for one flaw. The desires of his heart. He feared them like a ghost. Life had taught him one lesson - Every time he makes a wish, a life get shattered around him. The only solution, he could think of is to stay away from all sort of human interactions. At least, that was the plan.
