Isha removed her glasses. Standing on the 50th floor in London, looking down, she felt an emptiness she had never felt before. Her father, Sadashivrao, had passed away last night in Pune. Isha was a successful businesswoman. But in the last 10 years, she had not visited India even once to meet her father. Why? Because of *“that” day*, fifteen years ago.
