The Sign by Asha Singh Gaur is a short but well-written work in a short story format. This tiny book is about Arpita, who starts her day as normal, goes to work and then the day turns into a horrible one. She is reminded of her aching and painful history the calendar's date brings to mind something she had chosen to forget. Her laptop goes missing on her train journey and that turns all the events of the unfortunate day. Arpita focuses on the present rather than sinking in the past pain and there she forgets about the past and then the day turns again into a fun day, a day worth remembering a lifetime.
