Excerpt
We all fear that Parul is losing her mind. Sometimes I see her standing alone on the terrace, the evening wrapped around her frail form, the sadness of a day gone by mute and heavy in her eyes. These days she talks very little, eats even less and falls into prolonged silences. Sometime s I see her circling the potted plants on the terrace but she mostly remains in her tiny room on the third floor.
