After the unexpected encounter with Aria, Vikram's mind buzzed with ideas for both his MP3 player project and an additional mission that had presented itself—looking at the system task "Get fit". Intrigued by the notion of embracing a healthier lifestyle, Vikram decided to accept the fitness challenge alongside his technological endeavors.
As he navigated through the bustling corridors of the university, a determined mindset propelled him into the campus gym, ready to embark on a journey of physical transformation.
Inside the gym, the rhythmic clatter of weights and the steady hum of treadmills filled the air. Finding no one at the counter, Vikram decided to approach the fitness instructor, who greeted him with a friendly smile.
"Hello, I want to join the gym membership program," Vikram said to the instructor.
The gym instructor, appreciating Vikram's striking and handsome countenance, was pleased to get a new customer. He helped Vikram choose a membership plan, showing him the available options. After considering his budget, Vikram opted for a 6-month membership with a trainer, costing him 1500 Rs. After making the payment, the instructor inquired about the type of training Vikram had in mind.
Vikram, said to the instructor about his goals—running, squatting, push-ups. The instructor pondered for a moment and then formulated a workout routine designed to improve Vikram's strength, stamina, and overall fitness. To enhance the challenge, he added planks to the routine. Vikram listened attentively, realizing that this fitness mission would not only contribute to his physical well-being, but also boost his mental acuity.
With determination radiating through each exercise, Vikram pushed himself to meet the set targets, eager to embrace self-improvement. Little did he know that his dedication would soon inspire others in the gym to join in the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle, drawn in by his charismatic presence.
While Vikram focused on the "Get Fit" mission, Aria found herself engrossed in a discussion with Priya. Under the shade of a sprawling tree, their favorite spot on campus, they delved into the details of Vikram's MP3 player project and the pressing need for additional team members.
"Aria, could this project really be a significant change, as you say? Discman is great. Why do we need to create something else?" Priya inquired, patting the Discman in her backpack.
Aria smiled, casting a thoughtful gaze at Priya. "Priya, don't you think it's too bulky to carry everywhere? CDs can get scratched easily, and you have to take proper care of them. Imagine having an MP3 player with a sleek design that fits into your jeans pocket. It could redefine how people listen to music."
Listening to Aria's persuasive words, Priya started to reflect on the limitations of the Discman. Aria, sensing an opportunity, pressed on, "Plus, it would be cost-effective compared to current music players right now rather than buying too many CD just having 1 device is better."
Convinced by Aria's points, Priya smiled playfully, "My dear Aria, it seems like Vikram has got your heart. Looking at you, it looks like you have stars shining in your eyes when you talk about him."
Aria blushed at Priya's teasing, but maintained her composure. "Priya, you're impossible. It's not about Vikram; it's about the project. Creating something innovative and game-changing excites me, that's all."
Priya, smirking, continued to poke. "Come on, Aria. Admit it, there's a different kind of excitement in your eyes for Vikram. The collision earlier was like a scene from a romantic movie."
Aria rolled her eyes, dismissing Priya's playful banter. "It was just an accident, Priya. Let's focus on finding the right team members for Vikram's project. We need skilled individuals who can contribute to the design and software development aspects."
Priya, sensing Aria's attempt to change the topic, decided to play along. "Alright, alright, back to business." Priya, pondering for a moment, considered the potential candidates among their peers. "I might know a few. Let me think... there's Raj. He's brilliant in software development. And Simran she has a keen eye for design. Both are in our Electrical Engineering class."
Excitement building, Aria suggested, "Great choices! Let's approach them and see if they're up for the challenge. We might just assemble the dream team for Vikram's project!"
Priya looked at Aria, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Aria, if you don't like Vikram, how about I take him? After all, he is too handsome, and I am pretty too. We could make a dazzling pair."
Aria chuckled, thinking Priya was just teasing. "Priya, you're incorrigible. Vikram is not up for grabs. Let's stay focused on the project. We have a mission to accomplish."
But Priya, reveling in her teasing, continued with a playful grin. "Oh, come on, Aria. Just imagine, Vikram and I the most dazzling couple on campus."
Aria, starting to get a bit frustrated, rolled her eyes. "Priya, stop it. This is not the time for your jokes. We need to concentrate on finding the right team members for the project."
Undeterred, Priya persisted. "Imagine the envy in everyone's eyes when they see us together. The perfect couple Vikram and Priya."
Aria, unable to contain her annoyance, playfully swatted at Priya. "Priya, seriously, enough! We have important things to discuss. Focus!"
Priya, laughing, dodged Aria's playful hits. "Alright, alright, I'll behave. But admit it, Aria, Vikram does have a certain charm."
Aria, sighing, couldn't help but crack a smile. "Fine, he's charming, but that's not the point. Let's finish our planning, and then we can figure out the rest." Aria had to be careful with her friend. If she knew what I think about Vikram, the same day, I might become the number one enemy of the whole university. She shivered at the thought of it.
After a while, the bell rang, signaling the end of their break. Aria and Priya gathered their belongings, ready to head to their next class.
Meanwhile, Vikram, drenched in sweat, wrapped up his intense workout at the gym. Feeling a sense of accomplishment, he wiped his forehead and approached the fitness instructor.
"Thanks for the session. I'll be back tomorrow," Vikram said, panting slightly but with a determined expression.
The fitness instructor, impressed by Vikram's dedication, responded, "You're doing great, Vikram. Keep it up, and you'll see amazing results."
