F.I.T.E team reached their destination, Pokhran.

Pokhran is a village and a municipality located in the Jaisalmer district of the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is a remote location in the Thar Desert region and served as the test site for India's first underground nuclear weapon, ballistic missiles.

In summer of 1998, Pokhran made headlines in the world news for bringing laurels to India for a successful nuclear test. The villagers witnessed an earthquake when the mission of Indian scientists accomplished.

Villagers didn't realize what mighty feat the country achieved, they just knew something eventful happened in their soil which could bring harmony to their lives. All thought their village will now gain government's attention due to which they will receive the amenities of modern world.

The news Channel reporters hovered this Thar Desert Village, villagers were happy to be clicked, posing for the cameras, little children peeping video bombing the live coverages thinking themselves to be some heroes of cinema.

A few weeks later, the media buzz died. The village again got surmounted by silence, everything went back to normal. Life of village didn't change. The promised electricity supply never came to the village, nor the fake promises of politicians of bringing portable water came to Pokhran.

Twenty years passed since 2018,regimes kept changing, politicians kept changing, but Pokhran never got its necessities. Those little kids of 1998,now grew into adults, witnessing Pokhran still stood hindering behind the other big cities of Rajasthan. Now struggling youth of the village either accepted their bitter truth of not having electricity, proper water some of them frustrated and in desperate in need of work left their homes to find jobs in cities.

The older people narrated the tale of Pokhran nuclear test with pride, but their eyes showed a different story of shattering hopes and desires of having a comfortable life. Their old wrinkled faces expressed of how Pokhran witnessed  being shot to fame and then got abandoned by greedy leaders with some fake political promises that never got fulfilled.

“Argh, what kind of Desert it is? International committee didn't find a better place for Dream Team Competition!” Vidushi scrunched her nose while looking at the cow dung cakes on a small hut of the village.

“Yes you are right, the competition should have held in a 7-star hotel” Sanyukta spoke with vile sarcasm burning Vidushi into ashes of humiliation.

“The village is so serene with no traffic or pollution, I love it,” Kaustuki chirped excitedly.

The scorching heat made it difficult to Dream Team to stand under the sun.

Soon they were taken to small earthen huts to rest. The villagers happily made these huts with mud and clay when their Sarpanch(Village Head) informed them about guests from city arriving. Henceforth, Villagers with Courtesy made new clay mud huts for teams which would be staying in the Village for Dream Team Competition.

“Randhir Bhai(Bro) look there, it's a camel” Yo Yo exclaimed like a little child.

“Yeah, I know, Those are camels.Yo Yo don't act like you spotted Dinosaurs or unicorns” Randhir spoke and rolling his eyes.

The boys of F.I.T.E Dream Team stayed in one hut while the 3 girls Kaustuki, Sanyukta and Vidushi stayed in another.

Next morning the Dream Team Competition begin. A team from C.I.T.E college is competing against F.I.T.E to gain the title of Dream Team.

Vardhan shook hands with the mentor of C.I.T.E Team as bile rose in his throat. The C.I.T.E mentor Kabir Rathore looked sharply at Vardhan. Both men exchanged looks at each other with emotions untraceable.

Garry Wilton, a representative of International federation, spoke, explained the first take to the teams.

The task was simple to make a solar car, both teams worked restlessly to produce their cars. Randhir and Sanyukta bickered with each other as they tried to construct the car.

F.I.T.E won the first task, everyone hugged each other. Randhir instantly hugged Sanyukta in excitement while the latter too hugged back only to realize that she was hugging her ex-boyfriend Randhir making the duo embarrassed.

Sanyukta still couldn't register the ex-boyfriend in her mind, while Randhir cursed himself for hugging Sanyukta.

The Dream Team Competition has begun. Now crackers of plots will burst making us laugh, cry and smile at the chronicles of New formed Dream Team. A lot more is yet to be told, stay tuned.
