More DescriptionA young man, an architect from a country of the Indian sub-continent, quite accidentally met a lady in Melbourne, Australia. In Melbourne the man saw the vast water of the Indian Ocean to meet the water of the Pacific at the Bass Strait. About eight thousand years ago, there was no strait here, and what stood was a long range of rocks with spiky ends. It however created a walkable route to Tasmania. The range separated the two oceans, when the waves jumped on the rocks they threw their tears up. Tears saw one another, but waves could not meet. Due to rise of the level of water, one day the rocks failed to hold apart their emotions. Water drowned the range and it disappeared. That gave the birth of the Bass Strait that now connects the two oceans. Someone came to see the young man in his room. He made a phone call, and that was a mistake. It caused a young lady on duty to come at night. The young man suffered from the evil consequences. The lady for one reason or the other felt sympathy for the 'scapegoat'. Later they turned to good friends. On their first meeting the young man (scapegoat) wept due to humiliation. Few days later when he left, the lady found reasons to weep. Again there happened meeting of tears. Could it create anything great? Could it reveal any truth? Could it help anyone? The young man came to know the sad story of the aboriginal Kuri's in Australia. He knew the story of an innocent girl, situations froze her tears into phony smiles. The lady came to know the story of the man's unfulfilled marriage. The young man accidentally explored the night-life of a modern city. The lady came to know, and later experienced the effect of the "Magical touch Stone".The ex-chairman who took it his destiny to die uncared in the old home enjoyed the peace and pleasure of living in daughter's house. Eight years after that young man left the lady found good reason to weep and she did it on the bank of Tasman Sea. Little Shyam saw her tears. The boy was too little to understand the reason, if there was any. But who was Shyam?
