Immediately Karma strikes his wifes purported lover pushes him to his death into a flooding river.

Dejected he encounters Yama the Lord of Death and begins a conversation that extinguishes his own airs and affectations and makes him see that he may have been wrong about life and his wife. Armed with a wry sense of humour Shiv K. Kumar lays bare the questions of humanitys inescapable end plying us with a story of the afterlife that gives us new reasons to live and laugh.
