Thesocratespot: Etymology: Origin of Dissidence : Birth of a Rebel: AAUW : Chapter: CIX : Annie's Teen Bump : 

It was one hot tropical summer. The entire deccan plateau was sizzling under severe heat waves, however for the people - living around the regions between Southern Maharashtra and Central Telengana - it was pretty much life as usual they were used to the extreme levels of solar radiation just like the people in the Tundras are used to severe winters , it's at times amazing to observe as an outsider as to how local communities adapt to local weather conditions, it's almost as if the severe winters of the North Pole is just about the same as the severe tropical Summer.

Temparatures, at times could touch 45 degrees Celsius and yet people went about their life. In the sub continent, life around the regions near the sea was worse, the humidity and atmospheric pressure churns, along with the changes in Ocean tides, could easily dehydrate an immigrant to death.

Around the regions that encompassed the tropical Ocean, just stepping out of your shower meant more sweat than an entire day of running in a marathon organised in a milder climate - such was the extreme sense of alienation for people not used to the tropical weather.

Daniel had carefully chosen one his favourite locations within his University campus - a place right under the Dept. of Arts , History and Literature that was surrounded by large, humungous trees, trees so ancient and ageing and big they gave an impression of a world long erased from earth the shade and the sound of birds above were capable of transporting any human mind to nostalgia and music.

Danny would often choose his vantage point to simply sit and watch people move, walk, talk, laugh or rush to attend a lecture ( like their life depended on it ) - while he was more interested to play softly on his harmonica or just strum and tune his guitar strings as he watched the life around, for Daniel music was his world, for the world Daniel was an enigma.

It was one such day he noticed Annie, walking towards him and she clearly had a bump, her tummy was bulging and it did not look like good news.

They were just 17 , they had just entered the University campus.

Danny was not sure who Annie was dating. 

Annie rushed to his arms and said I need help Danny.
