Life Is Journey
'Life Is Journey' is a compilation of four short stories. The characters all yearn to connect with others, while dwelling in their solitude. Accidental encounters and reluctant partings overlap joy and pain on a daily basis - yet no two days are alike. 'Life' portrays half of a woman's life in a one-scene, one-cut, nine-minute sequence. 'N' is a comical take on a man abandoned by his lover. 'Ya' explores the bond of female friendship as one woman consoles a brokenhearted girlfriend. 'Nowhere', a man and a woman roam the streets of a foreign land in search of lost time.
