Rohan’s journey into his 30s brought with it a disquieting development – his stomach, already unusual, now began to expand at an alarming rate. It was as if an unseen force was pushing against his skin, straining to break free. His reflection in the mirror was of a man trapped in a body that didn’t feel like his own. This mind echoed with one baffling question: What on earth was causing this?!

Fearful of confronting his own reflection, he sidestepped any potential mirrors – shop windows, polished surfaces, even puddles on the ground. Every glimpse of his swollen belly was an unrelenting reminder of the silent, daily battle he faced.

Nevertheless, despite physical discomfort and societal ostracism, Rohan demonstrated an enduring resilience. His countenance was marked by quiet determination. He persisted in his laborious fieldwork, each day standing as a testament to his unyielding courage and willpower.
