The Sandhouse

What is religion? For some it's rituals, for some it's karma, for some it's devotion, for some it's love. We see this from our cognitive learning. But the learning fails when we face reality.
The story depicts the emotion of a family where the members are thriving for a little happiness in an auspicious night of Kaali Puja. It's not easy to find happiness when the family has no means to celebrate the festival of light over darkness.
The scarce of light at home intimidates the siblings to take charge of bringing the light at their own yard. Still, the darkness prevails as their single father catches them to still light from the dark Goddess. Binded with values, the father brings despair to to their motherless children and to himself.
However, the innocence has it's own way to find light amidst the lone desert.
