The faces of the people sitting there was hardly visible as the room remained embedded with glim.

The conversation was formal indeed yet shared a touch of concern. The atmosphere was deeply ruminative and mysterious.

"This is indeed risky", one gravelly voice said amidst the dim light.

"For this we need someone capable enough to lead the whole team.", another joined the conversation while everyone nodded in approval.

"But whom should we appoint?", the question arose and silence fell over the whole room. Everyone stayed quite, unknown to the answer.

"General Himanshu Rastogi, I have someone in mind", the man who spoke at first finally broke the silence.

"Go ahead! General Shankar Mukherjee.", the intended person signalled to continue further.

"There's one boy, twenty seven year old but has a mind as sharp like a needle, desperate to win always. Good for his friends. But bad for his foes would be an understatement as he is even worst for them. Good decision maker and excels in fighting skills. A true patriot who can do anything for his nation and is very down to earth."

"Who is this man with a red liver?"

"He is none other than Sumedh, Captain Sumedh Mudgalkar. Ferocious like a lion who will hunt down his prey at any cost. On the other hand, he is also calm when needed to be. He is very much committed to his work.", came the reply from the General.

Hearing him someone interrupted,
"This mission is too dangerous and demands high endurance power and may cost him his life if in case a single wrong step is taken."

"My experience says that he is the most suitable person, I've chosen for this mission. I have witnessed his immense endurance power in the daunting military trainings. And I am proud to behold such a young blood performing with sky touching spirits and passing every test with a new record.", The General said with a proud smile plastered on his face.

"General Shankar Mukherjee, I completely trust you and as you have recommended him, I am sure he is fit for the job. But can we meet him now?", asked General Himanshu Rastogi.

"Not yet. He is now fighting in the borders. We aren't supposed to pressurise them at this crucial moment. We will inform this to him after a few months. Moreover, before we leave him in the battlefield, you all would need to see his skills, right?"

The small confidential talks that continued were amalgamated within the four walls of the dimly lit sound proof chamber. Whereas the nation remained unaware of the upcoming turmoils and were busy with their own lives.
