Unfinished.
by Jayant Uppal
I hate boxes!It really sucks to be boxed into a 1-dimensional cutout, that's never been me, and I'm pretty sure that's never been you. That's the point of Unfinished, these are fragments, snapshots, stories of actual lived lives, of mine, of my friends, of strangers and familiar people. Life is a journey and it meanders, when you're freidns with me, so do those conversations, so here's a glimpse of the globe from my perspective. No agenda, no rules, just a conversation between people, living, growing and changing as it does from all four corners of this beautifully flawed world of ours
