Checkmate Arun Naidu

Checkmate is a story that reveals the frailties in every relationship whether personal or professional. We may live civility in society but our world is more dangerous than the jungle of prey and predators. As pillagers ourselves we constantly engage in a purge by intimidation, stealthily stalking, stealing and marauding. We become both the hunter and hunted in an intractable game of chess in life. In this ode, Aarvan, the main protagonist gets entrapped by the very people that is his own blood and close friends. The travesty of life is truly an antithesis of what in reality it actually is. Even forgiving is a victim on its own. Life is only one in its true avatar. We just get caught up in the cosmic karma of vicious cycle where redemption is only a notion.
