One History Professor was busy examining university answer papers in the secluded silence of her apartment, when the door bell rang snapping her attention. The irritated Professor was however surprised to see an unexpected visitor standing outside who happened to be a senior citizen, but whose face seemed very familiar.
Suddenly the professor recollected that the visitor was her own primary school teacher of the yesteryear and she welcomed her inside. In the course of conversation the Professor got to know that the superannuated teacher was then actively engaged with social causes and that she had been canvassing door to door collecting voluntary donations from good Samaritans to supplement her own effort in pooling every possible resource for the cause besides contributing from her own paltry pension income. Oblivious to her age, health and personal tragedies, the superannuated teacher had led by example in standing for the cause that she believed. The History Professor was moved and was impressed beyond measure. She contributed to the kitty and the relationship entered into a new phase of extending support to the cause.
But, did the relationship stood the test of time on the face of human notion of drawing limits ??

It is a story of two close friends who are similarly placed in life - be it their shattered future, unfulfilled dreams, frustrations and or their moribund state of persistent and existential crisis. Their perception of life is full of black humor - somewhat of an overbearing and overwhelming callous attitude that amuse them no end but to channelize their dark thoughts through incessant flow of garrulous dialogues with a certain degree of continuity that dare to defy even the shadows of death.
Social conditioning have turned them into nonchalant commentators about life that borders smirk and apathy about every gory development that they witness happening around them all the time which affects their life and their fragile family as well. It is therefore perhaps ironical yet apt to see in equal measure that when one of them gets killed, the other gets deeply immersed in the act of detection, helping the police on one level yet simultaneously and strangely that same one remains conceited in a fabricated world of self and make belief on another level.
What did the investigation reveal and what role did the surviving friend play in the ensuing drama??

Two brilliant and sensitive young minds that cared about the impoverished and the marginalized, atypical of the movement, were lost to the nation leaving their parents in a time loop of memories. The parents never came around to reconcile to the fact that selfless championing of cause-driven ideologies would exact such a heavy price by the 'Incumbent Dispensation' on the afflicted individuals while the world around would be non-nonchalantly moving on without battling an eye-lid while generally benefiting from the emergence of better order post the systemic cleansing. Dr Anandarup became a recluse within few years and died impoverished leaving behind his wife - Bani and his daughter 'Averi' in a state of penury.
Averi grew up as any other normal child, with practical materialistic considerations and self aspirations like the rest of her generation, in complete contrast to her brothers' ideologies that she felt were misplaced, Dystopian and hopelessly idealistic. She got married, started her own family and she also started rallying around her mother to help her getting over her self consuming vortex of grief by constantly coaxing her to forget about her idealist sons. Averi unabashedly maintained that her brothers were irresponsible and misguided lose canons in today's self obsessed parlance.
Will the legacy of the idealists' become irrelevant in this new age of self indulgent society, or will these forgotten chapters from history continue to infuse inspiration to many more such uprisings throughout the time space continuum??
