The Trivial Trio…. coming soon!!!

By 2013, the trio of Jamshed Narayan Iyer (Jammy), Madhav Kumar (Maddy) and Vinayak (Vinu) were known by the nickname – The Trivial Trio, specifically coined for their interest in ‘investigating’ matters which were of trivial significance to the rest of the world.

After all, who cared about seemingly insignificant events like why the candidate for The Brahma Maharishi Trust elections withdrew his nomination just two days before the Chairman Elections. Did it really matter as to why the Govt. School at RMV Extension progressively requested for more funds for their mid-day meal scheme even though the number of students enrolled there did not increase significantly. Who cared about why the number of mosquito related incidents was increasing in Nagashettyhalli?

These were not incidents or issues that too many people actually knew about, let alone cared about, but The Trivial Trio took it upon themselves to ‘read between the lines’ and ‘investigate’ these issues further and the findings made the rest of their world (ie, immediate families, friends, and a few ‘notorious’ others) sit up and take notice.

Jammy, the B School graduate, veteran of having lived in 3 different cities and avid connoisseur of the movies was the undisputed leader of the lot. By virtue of his father’s diverse, varied and substantial volumes of books at home, he also had the advantage of having a lot of information at his fingertips. This coupled with the fact that he was the most eloquent and ‘jobless’ of the lot meant that he was a natural candidate for being the ‘leader’ of the trio.

Maddy, on the other hand was the real brains of the group. His ongoing PhD in theoretical physics, consequent interest in applied physics, and general scientific attitude in life meant that his logical reasoning and analytical ability was second to none.

Vinu more than made up for his apparent lack of ‘smarts’ by being the only member of the trio who could single-handedly handle physical challenges of any kind. This coupled with the fact that he was loyal to both Jammy and Maddy for entirely different reasons, and the fact that he was the ‘people person’ of the trio made him the most valuable and probably the most critical cog in the three pronged wheel that The Trivial Trio was.

Keep watching this space for some ‘trivial pursuits’ of the Trio, and read about some of their adventures which will be published shortly on the blog.
