Nisha said. “I dreamt that I had a castle with my name inscribed on it, but it was on fire. I don't know what started the fire, but I saw people running for their lives. I started running towards it, but I hit my head on the barrier that surrounded me. It was a strong glass, I made efforts to break it down with my fists, but it was too strong to crumble. I stood there watching my castle burn into ashes, then a lady appeared and came towards me. She stared at me and laid her hand on the glass and it shattered.

The bookshelf had all sorts of books, ranging from fictional novels to nonfictional novels, to educational novels and textbooks.

She informed me it would take a day and a half – a damn day and a half. I wanted to see my sister. Since we weren't doing anything today, I decided to read.
