Pal's existence was forever reshaped by a serendipitous meeting with a British officer, an encounter that would set in motion a chain of events that would forever alter the trajectory of his life. This chance encounter sparked an unyielding sense of purpose within Pal, compelling him to take a courageous and resolute step that would ultimately lead to a confrontation of unrelenting intensity.
