Remember when we thought we would always be 16? When we thought we’ll take over the world? Meena, Annie and Nayantara–‘the three girls from St. Agnes’–feel that they rule the world. They are dancers, they light cities on fire travelling from festival to festival, they revel in each other, and oh that glory–friendships. Then, college ends.

Remember when we thought we would always be 16? When we thought we’ll take over the world?

Meena, Annie and Nayantara–‘the three girls from St. Agnes’–feel that they rule the world. They are dancers, they light cities on fire travelling from festival to festival, they revel in each other, and oh that glory–friendships.

Then, college ends.

How far do we carry love from our college friendships? When and where does it go?

Nisha Susan’s story ‘The Trinity’ from her collection The Women Who Forgot To Invent Facebook And Other Stories, published by Pratilipi, is a tale of three best friends competing for the world from Thiruvananthapuram, all the while holding each other’s hands. In an exclusive Hindi translation and audio narration, ‘The Trinity’ become ‘Tridevi’.

Tune in to the story to meet Tridevi – the three dancer girls.
