Confusion in recursion

int main()
{
   int p=get();//get() function is called here itself.(get is user-defined function for input purpose.)
}

BUT when we talk of recursion,

 int abhilash(int a,int b)
    {
        int ret=abhilash(a,b>>1);//But here why abhilash is not called?and my program proceeds to                     "rest of the code".
        /*rest of the code*/
    }
