Radhika's response to the question 'What do you want to become when you grow up?', took Meera back to the memory of her fifth class, where everyone had laughed at the response of her friend Sonali. Sonali's response was: "I want to become a balloon seller."
Meera had lost touch with Sonali after school and Meera had moved to another city, where she became a school teacher. Since both Meera and Sonali came from the pre digital era, there wasn't anyway to find each other.
Meera came back from her nostalgic thoughts and asked Radhika why she wanted to become a balloon seller. Radhika said "Because I want to be the one who brings smiles and happiness to many children in this world".
Meera's next question to Radhika was "What is the name of your mother?"
Radhika replied "Sonali" and Meera knew instantly why Radhika had always been her favourite student.
Meera knew that the time had come to meet the balloon seller who she knew, from her fifth grade.
