A story, when narrated backwards, gives the illusion of a different story!! One such story, when narrated backwards--actions are undone, destruction turns into creation, Sin turns into Guilt, death turns into life and grief turns into hope. Would life turn beautiful, if we could undo actions that cause pain and suffering?
