Glimmer

The backfield of the National Institute of Design, India glows with the flicker of Diya's (candle's) small flames. A woman, who had journeyed all the way from Europe to attend the college's festival, gazes quietly at the tiny spark cradled in her palm. Her eyes seemed to show the emotions of nostalgia, tenderness and remorse as if recalling something she lost in her past.
