Shomi is a poet, ex school teacher and now advertising copy writer who has forgotten more good things than most have experienced. He is a very good copy writer. However the ignorant wizard whom he worked with did not quite understand English so after a few years at the company he decided to sail the sea and work in the Gulf. He is married to Tulika. Together they are poetry. And the kind that rhymes so its obvious to even the uninitiated ones like me. He leads a rich life.

Gopal is a warrior-philosopher. Not surprising he too became a copy writer. However he felt rootless even though even the most normal of the effort from him dug in deeper in the ground than most of his copywriter colleagues. Chance took him to teaching. He now teaches English to the American amongst other things. He is putting his rich understanding to use and reaping the rewards.

Shantesh is a Hobbit at heart. A kind hearted, indulgent bastard. Can turn even the most mundane into interesting and see his job through till the end. He yearned for more so at heart remained dis-satisfied. He decided to explore so has sailed across to explore the melting pot of Armenians, Lithuanians, Jordanians, Poles i.e. Gulf. He is swimming a lot these days and enjoys the same.
