Chapter 19
Hey... So am back again with another chapter... Won't talk much today as a long chapter awaits you all... So go on and read... And yes, please do go through the information below... 'Why?' Will be answered by the chapter...
The () is a research institute based in Shimla, India. It was set up by the Ministry of Education, Government of India in 1964 and it started functioning from 20 October 1965.
History and establishment
The building that houses the institute was originally built as a home for Lord Dufferin, Viceroy of India from 1884–1888 and was called the Viceregal Lodge. It housed all the subsequent viceroys and governors general of India.
Many historic decisions have been taken in the building during the Indian independence movement. The Simla Conference was held here in 1945. The decision to carve out Pakistan and East Pakistan from India was also taken here in 1947.
After India gained independence, the building was renamed Rashtrapati Niwas and was used as a summer retreat for the president of India. However, due to its neglect, Dr. S Radhakrishnan decided to turn it into a centre of higher learning.

Abhijeet - Net pe picture search karke dekhte hai, kuch pata chalta hai kya
Daya - Hmm... (After searching the picture of the painting on his laptop) Yeh painting shimla ki hai... Matlab iss mai jo jagh paint ki gayi hai woh Shimla hai... Advanced study naam hai iss jagah ka...
Abhijeet - Uss jagh ka number hoga na net pe... Waha call karke dekhte hai woh koi help kar sakte hai kya humari!?
Daya - Haa mai call karta hu (after dialing the number and keeping the phone on speaker) Hello...
Operater - Yes? Advanced study, Shimla!
Daya - Dekhiye mai Sr. Insp Daya bol raha hu CID Mumbai se... Mujhe appki kuch help chahiye...
Operater - CID mumbai! Sir mai appki kya help kar sakta hu!?
Daya - Dekhiye Mr.?
Operater - Sir Mahesh
Daya - Yes toh Mr. Mahesh... Hume yaha Mumbai mai ek painting mili hai... Aur hume shak hai ki yeh koi aam painting nahi hai aur iske piche koi raaz chupa hai... Painting mai jo jagh hai woh appka institution hai... Ab iss painting mai appka institution painted hone ki koi toh wajh hogi!
Mahesh - Sir kya mai woh painting dekh sakta hu?
Daya - Sure... Ek minute rukiye mai appko video call karta hu... Baat samajne mai aasani hogi
(On video call)
Daya - (Showing Mahesh the painting)
Mahesh - Ek... Ek minute sir! (Saying this he quickly ran up to the another huge room... There on a huge wall a big black and white photo was hanging) Sir! Appne jo painting abhi mujhe bejhi hai aur yeh photo bilkul same hai sir!!! Matlab woh painting iss photo ko dekh kar paint ki gayi hai!
Daya - Kya app hume iss photo ke baare mai kuch information de sakte hai?
Mahesh - Sure sir... Sir yeh jo photo hai (indicating to the photo on the wall) woh 1916 mai li gayi thi... Tab India ke British Viceroy Lord Chelmsford the... Sir appke paas jo painting hai woh issi photo ka coloured version hai... Bas kuch alag hai toh woh hai date!
Abhijeet - Lekin iska kya matlab ho sakta hai!? 1916 ki photo aur 2017 ki painting! 100 saal ka difference hai... In dono ka kya connection ho sakta hai? (After thinking a bit) Maheshji kya iss painting ke ass paas koi harkat hui thi? Haal hi mai... Matlab aisa kuch bhi hua ho appke institution mai jo appko ajeeb laga ho?
Mahesh - Nahi sir... Aisa toh kuch nahi hua! (After a while) Sir! Ek ladki hai jo appki help kar sakti hai!
Daya - Kon?
Mahesh - Sir as you know ki ab yeh building students ko di gayi hai for higher studies yaha ek ladki hai Aarti jo paintings aur paintings ki history pe research work kar rahi hai... Shayad woh appki kuch help kar sake... App bole toh mai appki usse baat kara sakta hu
Abhijeet - Please karayiye!
(After getting conformation from Abhijeet Mahesh went to a room on 1st floor and explained the girl, Aarti, about the matter)
Abhijeet - Kya app kuch bata sakti hai iss painting ke baare mai?
Aarti - Sir mere hisab se iss painting ka uss photo ke saath milna koi coincidence nahi ho sakta! Agar app kehte hai ki iss painting ka koi raaz hai toh phir toh gureenty se hai!
Daya - Aartiji painting ke piche koi code zaroor hai lekin mujhe nahi lagta ki uss code ka sau saal purani photo se koi relation hai
Aarti - Bilkul sir! You must be correct! Code ka koi lena dena na ho lekin coding language ka toh ho sakta hai na!? Sir you must be knowing ki koi bhi code crack karne ke liye uske piche use kiya gaya coding pattern samjhna zaruri hota hai... Bas shayad ussi ka koi relation ho!
Abhijeet - Hmm... Lekin kya?
Aarti - The only thing i can think about right now is picture objects!
Daya - Picture objects?
Aarti - Ji haa sir! Sir yeh bohot purani technique hai coding ki... In which a picture depicts some meaning that is understandable only to the person its ment for! Yeh technique raja - maharajao ke zamane mai bhi use hoti thi jab phones aur internet nahi the... Uss time agar koi raja apne kisi khaas admi ko for example, senapati ko koi secret message dena chahta ho, jo kisi admi ke zariye jane se leak ho sakta hai, toh woh iss technique ka use karte the... And as Maheshji said ki woh photo 1916 mai kichi gayi thi it means in the era when European countries were ruling almost the whole world, uss waqt bhi iss technique ka istamal hota tha... Istamal hota tha First World War mai! Sir appko pata hoga ki England and Germany ki traditional dushmani thi... First world war mai bhi woh ek dusre ke against the... Sir history says ki England uss waqt bhi iss technique ka istamal karta tha... For interacting with their informers in Germany... Ek artist ko koi photo di jati thi... Woh uski painting banata tha... Aur woh painting uss country ke secret informers jo enemy nations mai hote the unhe bejh di jati thi... Informers ko pehle hi pata hota tha ki iske piche chupe message tak kaise puchna hai and unka kaam ho jata tha... Is technique ka sabse bada fayeda yeh hai ki if any chance the painting is caught by the police or army of the enemy nation, naa toh unhe shak hota tha aur agar ho bhi jaye toh they couldn't crack the code behind it!
Daya - Yeh technique hai kya?
Aarti - Sir badi simple si technique hai... Painting me visible har ek object... Object matlab... River, mountains, trees, clouds or it can even be the place painted ko list down kiya jata hai... Ab har ek chiz ka ek matlab hota hai... Har group ka ek alag pattern hota hai jise code decryption karne wale ko koi confusion nahi hota... Ab agar appko us code ko crack karna hai without knowing the pattern it will take a lot a time and efforts sir!
Abhijeet - Koi problem nahi hai Miss Aarti... Code toh crack karke hi rahege... Thanks for all the information that you gave us... Isse humari bohot help hogi... And thanks to you too Mr. Mahesh
