Lunch BOX

It is a story of people who are lonely despite of everything. Many women give their whole life for the happiness of her family, her husband, her children but very few times their sacrifice is understood and valued. It goes unnoticed mostly.
Many men realise it but sometimes it's too late!

There is a woman who doesn't know how to make her husband realise of the forgotten love between them. She tries to reach his heart through his stomach, as they say, har adami ke dil ka raasta uske pet se hokar guzarta hai...
But she doesn't succeed into the task as the lunch box reaches the wrong destination which turn out to be right. She shares her story with that unknown person who eats the lunch box prepared by her for her husband. This man is a government officer, old, rude, ugly, lonely too and about to take VRS and shift to Nashik after it. He is a widower.
They both exchange letters with each lunch box.
He give her tips as to how to bring back her marriage to life again but nothing seems to work. Sooner the woman realises that her husband is having an affair but she found no way out to leave him. Her father suffers from lung cancer due to smoking, her mother seems short of funds to even sponsor her husbands medicines. She had already lost her brother years ago when he commits suicide for failing in exam.
Her neighbor is one with whom she has a good report, they share recipies, gossips and help each other via a window. This neighbors husband is under comma since ages and she looks after him in hope of if not getting well but at least he being there alive for her.
One day the father dies and her mother discovers that she had been always worried about how she'll react when he dies but when the incident happens she found herself relieved of the burdened relationship that she had with her husband, that it was more of compulsion than love that she was with him.
There comes an incident where some women commits suicide by jumping from the building with her young daughter. The man after knowing this starts worrying about her and gets anxious till he receives the lunch box. In the lunch box the letter describes about same news. The man tries to make her understand that life is not about killing one self and it's never too unbearable to live it. While sharing these letters man too discovers what he has lost in his life. A dear wife who when needed her he too was not present then to enjoy the life with her but was busy into making money. Now when she is dead the loneliness creeps upon him and makes him rude with even small kids of his area whom he doesn't allow to play and if by mistake their ball lands into his gallery he doesn't return it to them and asks not to play near his house. There is one man whom he is supposed to train as he will be substituting him after his retirement. He even misbehave with this trainee and talks rudely, doesn't answer his questions and even go from office early but doesn't teach him. The trainee very patiently and modestly greet him daily. As time passes his loneliness too get side tracked with the letter that he writes back to her and it brings change in his behavior too. He starts interacting with the trainee normally, even shares his lunch box with him. Once even visits the trainee and has dinner with him and later becomes his guardian, as he turn out to be an orphan, in his marriage. Now he allows children to play and give back their ball.
One day the woman asks him to meet her at the venue and time written in the letter. He feels very excited and even gives a thought of not taking VRS. He gets ready like a young man going on his first date, he is nervous too.
She waits for him at the restaurant and waits and waits but he doesn't turn up. Next day she send him an empty lunch box with neither food nor the letter. The man accepts his mistake and writer to her that he did turn up and see her but he didn't found the courage to meet her coz he realises that he was too old, that he never realised when he lost himself in the walk of his lonely life and he found it unethical to meet her.
The woman complains the Dabbawala about the wrong delivery of her lunch box and asks for the address where they delivers her lunch box. Along with her daughter she goes to the office but soon she realises that the man has retired and left for Nashik.
She returns home and writes last letter to the man saying that she had sold her jewellery and packed her belongings and after her daughter returns from school she'll be leaving for Bhutan. Once when she had mentioned it into the letter the man had replied he'll come along with her to Bhutan.
She hopes that the letter will reach him if it would be destined to!
