Chandra, the only descendant of the ancestors who created his beautiful village, contemplates about the ancestors, descendants, his beloved , his demised better half, the songs, the stories, the pathways he had walked thousands of times, and the rest place where he had rested tons of his fatigues. At the very verge of his life these memories are the only things that he is longing for.
