"Five Finger Exercise: A Play"
If there is any planning worth undertaking in human life it is, when one breathes
his last neither should he have any guilt nor dissatisfaction... Despite doing
everything desired, still if he has any kind of remorse or discontent while bidding

a complete waste.
-Deep Trivedi
