Episode 3: The Call to Action
Determined to honour his parents’ legacy, Arjun organized a storytelling festival, hoping to rekindle the lost connection. “This will be a space for healing,” he proclaimed to the gathered villagers, his voice steady despite the tremor of uncertainty. Yet, whispers of scepticism rippled through the crowd. “Will this truly help?” a woman asked, her voice tinged with doubt. Arjun felt the weight of their mistrust. He remembered his mother’s gentle assurance, “Change begins with a single story.” Inspired, he envisioned a festival where every voice could be heard, every story cherished—a chance to weave their narratives into a vibrant tapestry.
