Plot
Shila and Rahul have been married recently. Being a lower-middle-class family, they could not get all the things needed to furnish a house. There is no dressing table in the house. One day Rahul brings home a dressing table, albeit an old one. Shila is still happy to have it. The next day, while cleaning the dressing table, she finds an old diary. Shaila initially hesitates to read the diary as it belongs to someone else, but one night she gives in to her curiosity. After finding the first 2/3 pages interesting, she ends up reading the whole diary by the end of the night. After finishing the diary, Shila walks towards the dressing table. She looks at the mirror and discovers herself. Then starts a new chapter in her life.[1]
