Unfortunately the following morning things had not gone quite to plan as Swara and Sanskaar had expected.. The untimely spreading of the viral flu had seen Ghala Amaya fall pray to ill health, due to which their visit had been stalled to the Birla planetarium... Both Shomi and Amaya had insisted that the children leave as arranged but it had been the phone call from Dida that had finally convinced the ladies to let Swara stay and help till they where sure they could manage the running of the foundation by themselves once more, for the children could be a handful to manage on once own...She had carefully explained that Sanskaar and Swara could delay there trip by a couple of days as Sinha uncle had not been expecting them back in Kolkata till the end of the October month...

As Swara settled down to compete Amaya chores for the day Sanskaar had other ideas... Since he had cleared his schedule yesterday for the day he decided it would be a good idea to review the information that they had gathered so far... From what he could recall Swara had mentioned that her Baba had been the one to find him at the time and had passed him in the trusted hands of uncle Rizwan... Not many knew but Sanskaar had been found by the gentleman on the 21 of October which was subsequently also the day that he had been born or so he presumed as it had been mentioned on his birth certificate that his uncle had given him when he traveled to Seattle.... Trying to see if there was a connection he decided to go and speak to Shamistra auntie himself...

An hour into his search round Sargam Sanskaar had stumbled upon her in his uncles study... From what Sanskaar could gather she had been cleaning away whilst shifted though old paper work that no longer where needed...

Knocking the door slowly he entered the threshold of the study as he spoke "Can I help you there auntie?" Only for a startled Sharmista to turn round mist shuffling papers "Oh Sanskaar beta it's you! You gave me a awful fright for a moment... I thought it was Rahul again... I tell you that boy cannot seem to stay away" she smiled fondly as she spoke of the child whilst laying her hand to her chest in reassurance...Sanskaar looked around the room in admiration for the place looked exactly the same just like the last time he had left...The book shelves had still been housed with the rarest collections of steam trains, planes and automobiles... But what truly stood out amongst the display where the miniature figurines of various galaxies that sparked in a array of colours... Not been able to resist the urge of touching them once more Sanskaar shifted closer towards the display while slowly stretching his hands out to trail the figurines with delicacy as if fearing that they may twinkle away to dust with his touch...Sharmista observed him carefully as he walk along the trail whilst touching each figurine just as she had done the very first day she had met him with her Shona... She could see why her Shekhar loved the boy for he was a independent spirit so attuned to his surroundings... Sharmista had been surprised of how much he reminded her of her Shekhar they where so similar yet so different... Just like him she could see that Sanskaar had a fascination with astronomy which subsequently had also cost her to lose her beloved Shekhar so early on into there marriage... The collection that Sanskaar had been admiring had been created on the insistence of Rizwan kaka... The old man had made Shekhar promise that he would send a new figurine to Sanskaar on each of his birthday without fail. And so the tradition had been born where they had sent a new star for his birthday every year which today became the pride and joy of the whole display even after Sanskaar had left...
