Sochiye aap ek subah uthein aur dekhein ki aap ek vishaal, daravne keede mein badal gaye hain. Aapki awaaz ja chuki hai, aapka shareer ek sakht kavach ban gaya hai, aur aapke mann mein bas ek hi khayal hai... "Mujhe kaam ke liye der ho jayegi." Yahan se shuru hoti hai Gregor Samsa ki kahani.Suniye Franz Kafka ki mashhoor kahani "The Metamorphosis" ka Hindi anuvaad "Kayantaran" ka pehla bhaag. Yeh episode aapko Gregor Samsa se milvata hai, ek traveling salesman jo apne parivaar ka karz chukane aur ek thaka dene wali naukri ke bojh tale daba hua hai. Hum uske pehle dar aur hairani ko mehsus karte hain jab woh apne naye, ajeeb roop ko dekhta hai. Suniye kaise woh bistar se utarne ke liye sangharsh karta hai, jabki uska parivaar—andar ke sach se anjaan—darwaza khatkhatata hai, sirf is baat se pareshan ki usne 5 baje ki train miss kar di hai. Tanav tab badhta hai jab uske office se Chief Clerk uske ghar aa jaata hai, jisse uski naukri aur parivaar ki rozi-roti khatre mein pad jaati hai.Aapko yeh kyon sunna chahiye: Yeh sirf ek kalpanik kahani nahi hai; yeh akelepan (alienation), kartavya (duty), aur aadhunik jeevan ki ajeeb sachchaiyon par ek gehri tippani hai. Agar aapne kabhi khud ko ek machine ka purza ya apno ke beech akela mehsus kiya hai, toh Gregor ki yeh ajeeb subah aapke dil ko chhu jayegi.
