As the festival began, Arjun felt a sense of exhilaration. Stories flowed like a river, each one showcasing the beauty of their differences. A grandfather shared his journey of love and loss, his voice rich with experience. A child recited a poem about dreams, innocence shining in her eyes. Laughter erupted as a group of teens performed a skit, weaving humor into their tales. Arjun watched, pride swelling in his heart. This was more than a celebration; it was a tribute to their resilience, an affirmation of their shared humanity. In that moment, he knew their stories were the threads that bound them together.
