Preface

"Sometimes you have to change the name of a character to a fictional one, even though you may not want to, for the sake of the concerned person- especially if that person is close to you."


Prologue/ Prelude/ Preface (Hey! What's the difference between them anyways? I never understood. The dictionary doesn't seem to know either.)


Alright. Some things need to be cleared at the onset. The world that I am about to describe- you do not know anything about it, yet. To understand, nay, to enjoy and appreciate this world, you must put your brain, your thoughts, your doubts, your logic aside- open your cupboard, keep all these things in it, close it, lock it safely and only then become a part of this journey-of-sorts. Well, locking is optional, but the other steps are necessary. Locks are needed only if you are afraid. You may ask 'afraid of what', and if you actually do, then you have not got my point. If you ask any such questions, or any question for that matter, you will not be able to appreciate what is to follow. Don't let your brain wander. Things may not make sense to you- why should they? Oh well! Now I am asking questions. But I am allowed to. I am allowed to do anything- this world is, after all, my conception. And so just tell yourself that it is alright if you find a mistake in this world- it is no big deal.

Let me mention one very interesting feature of this world just to get you a bit real on whatever I have said so far; oh wait! I think it will be convenient to give this world a name- so let us call it "Chade" (pronounced like the word "Shade"). Alrighty then. Now in Chade, the procedure of birth is not as cumbersome as in this world of yours. People may simply be born out of discussions and talks, even thoughts, among many other ways. But that does not mean that every thought and discussion will result in birth- just like every intercourse in your world does not result in birth.

And that should be all for now...
