This is a work of fiction. A work that travels into territories few books have gone before. Into the mind and life of a man suffering from schizophrenia. Such men and women are everywhere. But they are not heard. Their stories are told by people who are normal and have not gone through the trials and travails of the illness. This story is written by someone who has gone through all of it. It traces the illness and recovery of a young man who was caught on a hook by this deadly disease. Schizophrenia is an often misunderstood illness. This story is not a comprehensive take on the illness. Every patient has their own unique perspective. But few things are common. I hope this story can shed light on the hardships, misunderstanding, efforts, and recovery from this illness. But it does not speak for all patients. Every patient has their own story and their own paths to recovery. I am an earning member of the society with a stable income. But if you feel like, do support me through this profile. Anyone who pays more than 2500 will get a Mithila painting or a painted ladies handbag made or acquired by my mother, who also suffers from this illness, and is looking for avenues to work and earn.

I will post a chapter on Tuesday and Friday of every week. I hope you can learn and understand the illness through the story and probably help someone with this illness. Thank you.
