Maj. Tej Pratap Singh, said, “Our fears often become our limits. They stop us from looking beyond. But what if you have no fear. What if you are willing to explore beyond limits. What if your passion knows no boundaries, no limits. Then, how far will you be willing to explore?”
Singh further explained, here is the story of a man from a grueling time who lost the single most important thing in his life. But instead of giving up, he decided to get it back. Nothing could stop him, no one could limit him. His goal was Ultimate. His intentions were pure and he knew one thing above all, he said – “All days are good for me, all numbers are lucky for me. I don’t care what the Stones have to say. I don’t see the stars to change my day!”
KC travels back in time from the 29th century to find answers to the questions he can’t even remember. He is tossed mentally and physically in trying to get to the bottom of everything. Will KC be able to find the answers? Will he be able to get back to his time? To his world? To the one he loves the most? For duty, for Honor for Glory and for Love, he added.
