Have we not all dreamed of a treasure one day, buried in an attic or hidden under a cupboard, a treasure left by our grandparents and long forgotten? Coins of another century, black-and-white photographs have, over time, or better yet, eaten the love letters of the time when Grandpa was serving his military service. Or a will of any property which is not in our knowledge till date. Lets see the treasure of history hidden in her grandfather's closet
