Lost and Found by Krishang Vadgama

Raju, a 17-year-old village boy, lives a life of quiet resilience in a small rural home. Each day is a cycle of labor at a brass factory and simple, solitary meals back home. But his routine conceals a tender ache—every evening, he sets two plates and two mats for dinner, one always left untouched. Through silent glances and unspoken grief, we learn of his late father, whose presence lingers in memories and flashbacks filled with warmth and love. As Raju finally places his father's drawing across from him at dinner, a gentle smile reveals a deeper truth: though alone, he is never truly without company. A heartfelt story of loss, remembrance, and emotional healing.
