A Prologue

What is the blaze of glory? Or, what is the phoenix in the sky? Well, a random sunset at Besant Nagar beach (with my cousin - my best friend) changed my life in an instant. As I was watching the sun go down, the sky was a blaze of fiery pink in the form of a phoenix. 

As I stood there with a heavy heart and contemplating on my life's useless course, my cousin exclaimed, "It's a phoenix". That was the defining moment! Like a miracle, my burdens slipped from my shoulders. I was born again and I was re-discovering myself from the annals of my soul. 

The legendary Phoenix is a flaming bird which burns to ashes as it's life ends, only to be reborn again. I was wondering if that was a signal for me to shed the past and start a new future. My life was not over, not yet! 

I had an inkling that my life would change but I had no idea that a tempest would rock my turbulent shores. It blew away the cobwebs in my head and the World was a fresh green colour amidst the earthy brown. A brand new beginning and a chance to set things straight.

This is the story of my life. The tale of my metamorphosis, the saga of my journey. At times, the road takes a sharp bend but sometimes, it is as smooth as a mirror. I traverse between the peaks of happiness and valleys of sadness. And, this is the journal to chronicle the pathways of my life.
