The Bodhi Valley

Bairaag, 32, wants to retire early from his job at Anand Securities, an off-the-books unit of the Army, to go and settle in a mountain town near the Yuvanta mountain range. He wants to open a cafe cum bookstore in the vicinity of the Bodhi valley. The cafe, he thinks, should be aptly named Cafe Bairaag; and there he'd pursue his passion for poetry, arranging cultural and artistic events.

But his CO wants him on one last mission to help the Army find the very first books of the holy Quraan and the holy Geeta; The relics which were handwritten and had been under extreme security for centuries till went missing. And the whole country is now crippled by a dangerous blame game that has resulted in a nationwide riot.

Sounds doable for a man with the caliber of Bairaag, but the mission hides fatal consequences behind its simple facade.

How far would Bairaag go to save his country from the prejudices of a religious conflict when patriotism has always been subjective to him?

Would he be able to withstand the overwhelming pressure of his job and scores of brainwashed terrorists who mean nothing but destruction?

What would happen to the idea of a peaceful life he so desires?

Would he be able to retire after all?

Would Cafe Bairaag ever see the light of day?
