Chapter 1

According to my own saying "Not all bad things will be an end or disruptive ... some might be the beginning of a good thing that is yet to come"

It was not a day as usual for Robert Frost... he was called into a room with couple of executives from the Human Resource department of the company where he works at Uster, Switzerland;

According to the global meltdown of the industry due to so called technology innovation/automation/artificial intelligence, lot of jobs being no longer relevant and one among those jobs was Robert's;

With the tight face slightly red for a white man, John and Graphel gently started the conversation with Robert. It was like 5 minutes... Robert got it all and have a clear hold about the moment.. signed few papers... checks handed over to him that covers his next 6 month without any paychecks.

That's it. he is now all set to walk out of the company where he spent his good 22 years and today all he have is a check that covers his next 6 month!... does it really matters to a man who is on his 50's? maybe not! Yes, Robert is expecting this moment and kinda prepared to face it! nothing beats the reality... wow what a moment to experience something that you were imagining so long!

It was a lovely evening back in Uster, Switzerland. Pleasant breeze, soothing weather and the streets were looking so meant to walk...Robert is on the road walking towards his home. Hope Tristina Wright will take it normal and she can manage the situation very well. may be few extra expenses need to be cut down, but that is alright..

Robert and Tristina first met at Heidelberg University, Germany back in 1991 when they were doing their masters in Finance. Back then they were the only students from Switzerland... from the first day, they had good connect.. when days went on they both felt to be a perfect partner... Robert proposed, Tristina accepted and it all went by for 26 years now..

Robert and Tristina sat on the dinner table for the special soup made out of oyster, which is a special dish that Tritina usually makes. Robert loves to have oyster soup with thick bread; Slowly Robert disclosed the important message and the check to cover his next 6 month... Silence for a while... "why don’t you pursue your research hobby" said Tristina.. all confused Robert looked at her and raised the eye brows "what do you mean hobby..".. Tristina immediately said "Project Vishnu... do you still have that urge feel like in old days to pursue your research on it?"... Robert was all  amazed about Tristina memory... Project Vishnu is a research he was passionately into back in 2000 and did not get much time to pursue more on that... "that is a good idea!" all excited Robert now enjoying even more on the oyster soup with Thick bread!

Chapter 2

Back on my own saying "Things never happens just to happen.. it always happens for a reason which can be felt/connected only when you pass miles away from it" Sea breeze are heavy and the ocean seem to be not normal that day... as Vetri and Maruthu the fishermen from Nagerkoil are 100 nautical miles away from the shore; That was not the usual day they normally experience deep in inside the OCEAN; They even did not see any ships or any other launch in their view... clouds are getting dark...."Must be the sign of cyclone" Vetri said to Maruthu..."May be.. can you check on the radio if any announcement on any cyclone" said Vetri.... Maruthu and Vetri are from a small village Alur which is close to Nagerkoil town.. They both knew each other from childhood, in fact they were school buddies too.. After 10th standard board exams Maruthu was left with no option to make some money for his living. few days before the final board exam, Maruthu fath...
