With dialogues available in over 20 languages, this is a tale that transcends borders and proves some emotions never die. Stay tuned for a journey like never before.”

He elaborated on his unique perspective, suggesting that the beauty lies in the control it offers. “Because you have all the power in that,” he explained. “You create your own perception about how that person is. It’s in your own mind as a beautiful image. It’s not dependent on the response from the other end. You’re at peace in your own mind.”
