What do you find in an old box of belongings?

Stuff you need for survival.

Books, notes, Xerox, old diaries, gift ribbons, a scroll where your senior had written a beautiful poem for you, cassettes of gulzar and burman that you loved in your 1^st yr before you knew dc, an untouched box of nutties, some 20 toffees you earned with prompt answers in the hall farewell, a zonasa 2005 prize memento, whole lotta medicines that you loved to skip, the two hearts you bought for your best friend for her birthday but never mailed, a Revlon eye liner you never used, an uneaten cookie, an empty bottle of a deo that reminds you of your sister and your holidays in IITK a few years back, a cd player, some shiny structures you had saved as a souvenir from a building model, Alankaar 2006, a five star you bought but never gave, an album of 1^st yr memories , some glitter you used in the zonasa 2005 culturals and a box of crayons you had once used to make sorry cards.

Addendum, I took all of them out carefully and then rehashed the whole box.

I’m not sure if I don’t want them anymore.

I am sorry Dad.

How can I be so dull and retarded! Something’s seriously wrong with me.

I knew you were in Hyd and I knew there were bomb blasts in the city.

And I couldn’t link the two informations. For 2 darned days!

Mom had to actually explain the obvious stuff on phone.

I am not myself these days.
