Why Are You Like This?

By Anirban Chakraborty

Kabir, an idealist, lives as a realist to pursue his ideals and struggles as a man who yearns for the
realization of those ideals. One day, when Kabir is filing some paperwork, the Director General of the
Intelligence Bureau summons him. He asks Kabir to look after the new investigator they have hired.
Shiv, the newcomer, ignores orders, randomly disappears during work, is obsessed with philosophy,
flirts with every woman he sees, refuses to partake in physical labor, and is downright lazy. Kabir is
mentally exhausted, barely able to get work done, and the cases keep piling up by the day. To make
matters worse, Shiv is always searching for weird, wicked stuff to fuel his enthusiasm.
Kabir thinks of him as nothing less than a vile combination of a disaster, the devil, a poltergeist, and
a necromancer. Shiv is surely a handful to manage but admitting defeat would only tarnish Kabir's
dignity as a CBI officer.
The department has close connections with the government, the army and the police. They also
handle a large amount of classified information, therefore, they are prone to infiltration from
criminal organizations, given how easily the latter could access confidential information.
One such unexpected case surfaces and observing Shiv's sharpness, Kabir wonders whether his
intelligence is linked to something more mysterious behind his identity. Kabir cannot help but feel
that lurking behind Shiv's eccentric behavior is something chilling - a devilish wisdom of some kind.
Pure havoc unleashes when an idealist and a philosopher, overflowing with eccentric traits, try and
solve crime. Will Kabir unravel the mystery? Will he find the answer to the question - why is Shiv like
this?
