7 boxes stacked up in the corridor. Each filled with an year of memories, of their togetherness and love. All she wanted was to unpack them. To relive them. And create new ones. Years later, here she stands in the same hallway, all beaten up, heart bruised. 14 boxes and an envelope of divorce papers.

Her eyes beamed looking at the gift in her granny's hand. It always has been a serendipitous moment for her. Opening it with utter amusement she used to devour all the happiness. Now, there is a time when living in trepidation, all she wishes is to clear the cobweb in her head and unravel the mysteries behind.

When I turned 20, he gave me a present. I unwrapped it. It had a box. Opened it. Another box. Opened it. A box again. Again opened. It finally had a key and a note which read "Just like this, you have to work like anything to earn something".
Thanks Dad!

It was her 18th birthday. Living with her grandparents, she went to take their blessings. Like every year. But today was different. They had a gift. A box. A letter addressed to her, a watch meant for her, from her parents whom she never got to see.
The box was an entry to a world she never knew.

उसकी बातें, उसका अपनापन,
मेरा रूठना, उसका मनाना.

जब वह उदास हो तो मेरा उसे हंसाना.
जब भी मुश्किलें हों तो एक दूसरे को कहना-
मैं हूँ तुम्हारे साथ....
आज हम दुर हैं पर अकेले में
"यादों की डिबिया" जब भी खुलती
तो चेहरे की मुस्कुराहट कहती
हम आज भी करीब हैं......
