Leila PRAYAAG AKBAR Every year on Leila’s birthday Shalini kneels by the wall with a little yellow spade and scoops dry earth to make a pit for two candles: one each for herself and one for Riz, the husband at her side. A shrine to a missing child. But as Shalini walks from the patch of grass where she held her vigil the man beside her melts away. It is sixteen years since her daughter was taken, snatched from her third birthday party, the last time she saw the three people she loves most dearly: her mother, her husband, her child.
