Prologue

"Everyone has a story! Every tale gives us a message.

Savitribai Phule Pune University

He was pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Humanities regarding Rituals and Customs.

Reyansh, was the Topper of the University.

Coming to the final year,

He was busy; completing his thesis.

Early Morning:

Present,

He was in a library and was reading a Tradition Novel. (Which is not an excuse) written by Brendan Kiely.

Which, closely related to his profession. Aditi and Darsh were his friends.

While Reyansh, was busy in the library,

Shri Ram Chandan University Chancellor has arrived.

Watching him,

Reyansh got up and wished by saying! Good morning, sir!

Ram Chandan, wishes by saying Very Good morning Reyansh! Have a seat.

Then I sat and he was opposite to me. He asked what's going on.

I have smiled and replied well I was referring books for my Thesis.

In my journey, I understood that Ph.D. is equal to an IAS preparation. While I said this word he was laughing.

Of course me too. Dad, used to dream that I should be an IAS officer, coming to the syllabus, I used to get fear. Then I thought Ph.D. is good for me.

But I feel, nothing is easy and nothing can earn in an easy way.

Dad used to say;

Life is so obstacle; one should know how to cope in life.

He smiled and said, he was right! I was calm. Later, he asked

I, would like to ask one thing why you have chosen this course?

You have a lot of opportunities but why did you choose this?

I, don't know sir but I love this. I enjoy working on this.

I feel empowering and teaching others gives me lots of happiness than working in an MNC company.

He just smiled. Then he said I like your sense of humor and I am impressed with your answer Reyansh. I was calm.

Later, I replied but, sir I don't want to write a thesis by referring books or any others.

I want to experience my journey.

He said well that's great!

I’ll give a small tip for you. I didn’t understand sir!

He replied, near our university there is a small village.

Ganesh hind,

Adarsh Narayan is the Mukhiya of that village.

Adarsh Narayan was praised by the villagers. What he says that becomes a judgment over there.

I wish if you go there, you may experience a lot.

I was stunned and I said sir, but why me?

He smiled and replied look Reyansh, our country is liberalized. Though still, the villagers follow the old rituals and customs.

I believe you can bring a change over there. I was smiling while he saying.

After that, I replied well then sir, as you like. I’ll be happy to visit there.

He got up and replied with a smile Good Luck! Reyansh. Thereafter, he vacated from the library.

It was a nice conversation between us! I enjoyed it and I felt a little relaxed.

A few minutes later,

I started vacating, from library and was moving towards the canteen side.

I have taken a coke and sat on the chair, meanwhile, Darsh and Aditi have arrived.

Aditi replied what happened you look so gloomy? I smiled
