Meaning: Do whatever it takes to help. Willing to do anything.
Once upon a time there lived two friends. They both shared a very strong bond of friendship and everyone in the college gave their example when it came to friendship. Both Ram and Mohan were fond of adventure and enjoyed exploring the unknown and dangerous places.
Once the college was going on a trip and both decided to join the group. Everyone was aware about their true nature and often feared that someday or the other they will end up in trouble as they never informed others about their whereabouts.
The entire troop camped near the river bed and all planned to go out and explore the surrounding area. Next morning everyone got ready start this new adventure. They all started to explore the jungle with strict instructions from the teachers and guide not to go too deep into the jungle and return at the appointed time.
While everyone was walking they came across an abandoned shabby hut. It had a creepy look that sent shivers. But the adventurous sprint of both the friends rekindled up with joy and they decided to take a look inside.
However, the moment they decided to enter inside, they were called back immediately by the teachers and everyone returned to the camp as soon darkness began to engulfed the area. Both friends felt a little disappointed but soon decided to return late at night, when all will be asleep, to explore the area.
As the night peaked and everyone was asleep they both slipped out of their camp and reached for the hut. To their surprise there was a light and people could be seen inside the hut. They decided to take a look inside and what they saw made them shocked. There was a bunch of people busy stealing wood from the forest. As they were busy watching them, one of the man caught hold of both friends.
They all ended up fighting with each other and Ram got captured by those thieves. Mohan ran as fast as wind and tried to find help. He informed his friends at the camp and none of them were able to help so he decided to make a plan for rescuing his friend.
Mohan was all set to BEND OVER BACKWARDS to help his friend. He decided to go back to the hut and try to bargain his life against his friend and offer all his money in return of Ram’s life. In the mean while he asked his college friends to come to help them and capture the thieves and the teachers to get help from the police.
They all went and did as things had been planned. As the thieves thought they had an upper hand, but immediately the police barged in and arrested them all at once.
Both friends were rewarded for their bravery and proved that no matter what, when it come to friendship they both were ready to bend over backwards to help each other.
