The wonder box

The other day i was taking a walk through Jogupalaya market road and this fancy store grabbed my attention. The shop keeper had put up all latest school bag models outside. Various colors , designs and stickers on them ...it sure would attract the attention of those tiny eyes.

Back at Trivandrum in my house there is this shelf in the guest bedroom on the ground floor which has a wonder box. It is a small aluminum box with a blue handle. Once upon a time i think it served as my school bag; when i was in my first std or so may be. It was probably my first one and daddy decided to keep it. But ever since i remember its been a wonder box and if i am right - one of my dads most prized possession. And why is it so? Its because its the tool box which contains just everything anyone is looking for. From carpentry repairs to plumbing faults to electrical needs....just everything had some solution in this box! My 8th std project - a digestive system came out of it. I still remember the resin I got from it dissolving the thermocol tummy! The box provided the lamps and wire for the Hawa Mahal for my 10th std social science exhibition. :) So many memories locked up in that tiny little box. Am sure dad has so many of his own too....
