We bring to you stories of people who have been confronting walls.

How to climb all the way, aiming for the top
Or, is there a new way to climb, one that’s different from yesterday.
Thinking how to make the ascent and then trying…
Is akin to how we live our lives.

The wall in front of us nurtures and strengthens us.
