Suraj, a young history enthusiast and research aficionado, believed that power has always been overrated and unsustainable for our beautiful Earth. This unique planet, with no rival yet discovered, showcases billions of life forms in an unparalleled, extraordinary way. Interestingly, corrupt powers often negate 'sustainability for all', propagating self-promotion, deception, and domination. Suraj longed for a paradigm shift and aspired to rewrite history in an innovative manner. He devoted his life to understanding human conflicts and the ravages of war, from ancient times to recent confrontations like the Gulf War, the Ukraine conflict, and the Gaza hostilities. His quest led him to a newly opened anti-war museum, where he unexpectedly met Niharika, a dedicated peace campaigner whose life's work contrasted starkly with his own.


Their paths crossed at the museum, a somber site echoing past battles' lamentations of grief and death. While Suraj sought insights for his research, Niharika was there to honor the countless lives lost to war's senseless fury. Their eyes met, and in that fleeting moment, a connection was forged that would transform their perspectives on life.


Captivated by Niharika's unwavering commitment to peace, Suraj began attending more anti-war rallies, drawn not only to the cause but also to Niharika herself. Her passionate speeches envisioned a barrier-free world where love overcomes hate, and empathy trumps aggression. Niharika believed that all humans, descendants of Adam and Eve, are born equal, with differences only due to varying climatic zones. She argued that the root of many conflicts was the powerful few hoarding the Earth's resources, unwilling to share.


Their growing bond, however, faced challenges, as the world seemed to spiral into further disorder. Every news headline was a stark reminder of the nemesis they faced – War itself, an ancient scourge of humanity.


A turning point occurred during a particularly violent protest. Amidst the ensuing chaos and stampede, Suraj and Niharika were separated. Frantic, Suraj searched through the turmoil, his heart pounding with fear. The relief was palpable when he finally found her, shaken but unharmed, her eyes brimming with tears.


This moment was revelatory for Suraj. He realized their fight for peace was deeply personal, not just ideological. He witnessed firsthand the toll it took on Niharika, the pain she bore for every life lost to war. It was then he resolved to not only study war but to actively combat it.


Together, Suraj and Niharika embarked on a journey to spread their message of peace. They traveled through war-torn areas, from the relics of World War frontlines to the streets of Pakistan, Syria, Gaza, Ukraine, and all other conflicting zones sowing seeds of optimism and resolution. They encountered resistance, suspicion, and at times, outright intimidation, but their tenacity not once hesitated..


Their efforts culminated in a historic peace conference, where heads of warring nations came together to negotiate a truce. As they watched the signing of the peace treaty, banning henceforth all religious texts and adopting ‘Sustainability’ and ‘UN Charter on Human Rights’ as guiding principles, they knew their efforts had made a difference. The world might not have changed overnight, but they had ignited a spark of hope in a world weary of conflict.


The story of Suraj and Niharika became a testament to the power of love and perseverance, showing that even in the gloomiest times, peace is attainable. As they stood hand in hand under the olive tree they had planted at the memorial site, they understood that their love story was one among many. Yet, it was a story that spoke of a better world, for humanity, for life – a world where peace reigns supreme.
