---------------------------------------------------------------
Shravani was enjoying a dream in which she was visiting her native village situated in the lap of Himalayas. She was about to enter the village when suddenly, she heard the voice, "You cannot enter this place till you have found the secret of your family!"
She woke up with a jerk!!!
"What was that all about? What Secret? What is the meaning of this dream?" She muttered under her breath.
Her room partner Radhika threw a pillow on her face, "Oh, hello, don't disturb me while I am trying too hard to get some sleep, ok, otherwise I will not prepare breakfast for you tomorrow morning and you will be late again for your office!"
Shravani said to herself, "Look who's talking, the laziest girl on this earth. Have you forgotten that our leaves got sanctioned by Aakash Sir and tomorrow we are going to my native village!"
Radhika said to her, "Yes, yes of course I remember. Now let me sleep otherwise we will miss the train to your hometown!"
Shravani corrected her, "It's my native village and not hometown, Ok!"
Radhika was too tired to say something as she loved her sleep more than anything else in this world.
Shravani and Radhika were working as Project Assistants in a well-known NGO which was working for the wellbeing of women and their newborn children in the remote areas of the country.
They were going to visit the native village of Shravani so that she could solve the mystery of her recurring dreams.
So, she applied for a long leave and asked her best friend, who is also her room mate to join her in this mission called, "The Mysterious Voice."
When Shravani was an infant she lost both her parents in a mysterious manner many years ago. Miraculously, she escaped as she was found by the locals safely lying in an eagle's nest on the topmost branch of a tree. The nest was empty and the little Shravani was crying loudly.
She was adopted by a woman who was present in the village at that time for some research work.
Shravani had always lived in a hostel and had interacted with her mother occasionally as she was always busy in her scientific study and research.
She knew that her mother was working on a secret project which was aimed at the formulation of a drug which will cure the human body of all the degenerative diseases.
Shravani remembered when one day she asked her mother Jia, "Mother, tell me one thing, if you are successful in your project then how will it affect the entire humanity?"
Jia smiled at her as she was her best kept secret in this whole world, she said to her, "Dear, it will only cure the body but one has to take care of heart and spirit too!"
Shravani looked at her mother and asked her again, "But how can we do that, mother?"
Jia said to her, "It is simple but never easy as it requires one to be truthful and conscientious in our heart and soul all the time!"
