Divya Sood

There were two souls. To test desire, the fire within us, they had to survive the taking of bodies, the parting of lifetimes, deaths and rebirths. This is the story of a warrior and an illusion and the love between them. When a young photographer rents a room in a small apartment from a half sane widow, both are unaware that they share a past. But time and fate allow them to take a journey through past lives and present desire that neither ever imagined. "Maya" is the story that allows us to keep believing in love, in magic, and most of all, in ourselves.
