Soumik’s love poem depicts a stormy sea and unwavering love, symbolising a strong connection between two souls, in the Special Feature, exclusively for Different Truths.

The turbulent waves lash. Lash upon the stony beach And when the waves retreat, They leave the white froth Bubbling over the golden sands And in the storm-tossed night When the ocean gets crazy The waves still find their way In haste or halt pass they To kneel under the lighthouse That blinks amidst the grey cloud Like the altar of love Beneath which two entombed souls Embrace each other.
