Life is the most precious gift on earth and everyone wants to live to the fullest since the span is limited. The cycle of life and death is inevitable but what transpires during the journey from the womb to the graveyard truly makes it unique for each one of us. Some of it is driven by our actions and the rest as we realize sooner than later - destiny.

The author makes an attempt to reminisce Rupa (his strength for life) and the timeless journey both of them embarked upon hand in hand, dating back to Aug 2000. As they say, life must be lived in all its vicissitudes, and this love story, which started on a magical note, had its own share of success and trials too. For Rupa, her faith was bigger than her fears, her simplicity was too pure to be blemished, her flaws were even more beautiful than her perfections, her love for life far exceeded the pessimism around and nevertheless, her zeal to overcome odds outweighed the challenges life had to offer. But true to its nature, life took a U-turn when Rupa was diagnosed with cancer.

What unfolded thereafter is Stage 4, where death failed to win over because the spirit for life continues to live on and inspire the world around. Flip through the pages and fall in love with the captivating story of a couple whose love stood the test of time and triumphed over the ultimate reality - death.

Written in an autobiographical format, Stage-4 sings about the tale of life and death in the most heartrending manner...
