Every vein we traced took us to this magic of art and we embraced it with all its flaws. We are that generation that witnessed a drastic change; from seminars to we- binars, offline classes to online classes, bunking classes to muting classes. We are that bunch that had no better option than to change, so we did. We bloomed when no other dared to survive, we ploughed our droughted minds and paved way for the new stream that was to follow. So, this is a sacred book of bleeding, shouting and whispering tales; snippets from the isolating and challenging lives, tied together by our exhausted breaths. ഒരു കുഞ്ഞ്് വൈൈറസ്് വിിതച്ച ഭീീതിിയുടെെ വിിത്തുകൾ മുളച്ച്് നിിരാാശയുടെെ മരങ്ങ ളാായിി ചുറ്റിിലുംം വളർന്നിിരിിക്കുന്നു. ആ മരങ്ങ ളിിൽ പൂവിിട്ട പ്രതീീക്ഷയുടെെ പൂക്കളാാണ്് ഈ മാാഗസിിനിിലെ� ഓരോ�ോ താാളുകളുംം. നിിലച്ചു പോ�ോയ ജീീവിിതതാാളങ്ങൾക്കിിടയിിലുംം നിിറംം മങ്ങിിയ സൗൗഹൃദങ്ങൾക്കിിടയിിലുംം ആരവ ങ്ങളൊ�ൊഴിിഞ്ഞ കലാാലയവീീഥിികളിിലുംം കൗൗമാാരതുടിിപ്പിിന്റെ� പ്രതീീക്ഷകൾ പൂക്കുന്നു. ഡോ�ോ. കെ� അയപ്പപണിിക്കരുടെെ 'പൂക്കാാതിി രിിക്കാാനെ�നിിക്കാാവതിില്ല' എന്ന വരിികളിിൽ സൂചിിപ്പിിക്കുന്നതുപോ�ോലെ� പ്രകൃതിിയുംം മനുഷ്യയനുംം വൈൈപരീീത്യയങ്ങളിിലുംം സമന്വവയ സമവാാക്യംം� തീീർക്കുകയാാണിിവിിടെെ.
