“Are you alive? Can you breathe? Can you touch me? Do you feel anything? If you can, you and I, we are the same.
For forty years of my life, my breath was free, my touch acceptable and I felt I was alive.
Until the time when all of this was taken away from me. My being ceased to each singular breath. Tomorrow was just a hope.
I am Amit Aggarwal, and this is a story of my resurgence. A life where I breathe and live for every moment. A life where I let my feet touch the earth a little more, the waters wash me to a new every day and the air caress me bare each time she comes knocking on my window sill.
An ode to the three elements that form the centre of our existence and help nurture us, give us the freedom to mould ourselves to be authentically us and carry us forward, Earth, Water and Air inspire the genesis of Metanoia.
