PART 1 - The Mission

Department of Military Intelligence, Jungi Adda, Kathmandu
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Captain Deepak reached work 15 minutes early that morning. An orderly delivered a cup of tea along with his mail and some files. The pile of papers included a copy of The Rising Nepal and the previous day's Times of India and a new edition of Jane's Defence Weekly. The Times of India was published from Delhi and came in each evening via the afternoon Delhi-Kathmandu flight of Royal Nepal Airline and was made available only the next morning. The latest issue of Janes first came to the General's office, who after exercising his first rights, which usually meant marveling at the new fighters the Swedes or French had designed, would send it off to the Colonel's office. The Colonel would then extract his worth of the magazine, and when done, send it over to Deepak's office. By the time it got to Deepak's office, and a lot of the times it never did, it would usually have the markings of a tea-stained cup on the cover or a torn out page in the cover story section. Perhaps the work of the General's war-crazy 7-year old grandson or the Colonel's military hardware fanatic 19-year old boy.

Excerpt:

He dismissed her and opened the envelope she had handed him. The DMI, according to the note, had received intelligence that the ISI was about to make a "drop" in approximately 10 days. Deepak was ordered to move the original plans ahead by 2 weeks to setup an under-cover reconnaissance post and monitor the modus operandi of the infiltrators. He was specifically asked to report on the SALUTE of the target : size, activity, location, unit, time, and equipment. The team was to keep an arms-length from the suspects and be extra-careful not to arouse any suspicion. This was to be strictly a reconnaissance and monitoring mission with no orders for engagement. Permission to directly engage the suspects would need to be obtained explicitly from Deepak's commanding officer, Colonel Prakash.

Excerpt:

The journey had been long and tiring. They had set up camp each day at dusk. Dinner was prepared by the porters and served on white aluminum bowls. The food typically comprised of a stew-like combination of rice, millet, pulses. On the first day, there was even a slice of dried-mutton sukuti to go with it. After dinner, they would gaze at the magnificent night sky and stare in awe at the stars above them and the worlds that lay beyond those twinkling lights .Bhimsen opined the gods must live in the stars. Sarla suggested it must those who do good deeds who become stars when they die.
