They seem really normal, in fact invisible to most people around them. In the world of FB, when every petty achievement becomes a champion of ‘likes’ and ‘comments’, they achieved great heights and still managed to remain low-key.
The overwhelming beauty of the campus was something that Bhanu first noticed when he was settled in his room. But something else was enticing him towards itself. On enquiry he found out that there is no way to reach there. Disheartened he resigned the idea of reaching there. Only the truth that lied ahead in the chest of future was a little different.
Doru has always been a dark horse, away from the hordes of sheep around him. “Out of the box thinking” has been an effort in constant pain for most, but for Doru it has been a way of life. It was only destiny that he and Bhanu will become part of THE TRIO.
The third cog of the wheel Shanta has been an enigma. It was never possible for anyone to gauge his emotions. His face reveals as many emotions as a plate glass window. It was never possible for anyone to tell when an idea excites him and when he is not interested. When he agreed with his trademark indifference to be a part of THE PLAN, he completed the picture. No pre-conditions dictated and no questions asked just plain nod in agreement, such was his nature.
“THE PLAN”, it was. It wills to fulfill a long forgotten dream of Bhanu. None has done it, no one has ever tried it; so no one really failed at it; forget about someone ever thinking about it.
When it was mentioned, “ The overwhelming beauty of the campus was something that Bhanu first noticed …”, the statement was not entirely true.
No doubts that the beauty of the campus was mesmerizing but that was not what capture the attention of Bhanu. It was the outline of a tabletop mountain at the far south of the campus that really excited Bhanu. “There is no medium to reach there”, was the terse reply from Gopi, the housekeeping staff.
The dream was long forgotten, until one-day during a trip to Mandu, Bhanu ignited the idea of covering the whole distance on foot. Exciting and at the same time daring and more importantly totally unconventional, was the first thought that crossed Doru's mind. The next moment he was nodding his head in agreement, and a day before the D-day Shanta joined the plan.
