The Roster

Megha Narayan's husband is not curious about her past, a fact that has served her rather well till now. But after a few years of blissful matrimony. an opportune moment presents itself and nudges her to finally come clean about her numerous romantic escapades in the days of yore.

Out come tumbling the thus far incarcerated youthful secrets that had been denied the light of confession. Will her husband overlook and ignore or will he react exactly in the manner that Megha had been warned about by the worldly wise? Has Megha committed a colossal blunder?

A total of eight different tales weave their way out of the caverns of Megha's memory - presenting life in all its myriad emotions and proving temporarily one little corollary of memory everything in hindsight can seem funny.
