Aditi - Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani


Dear Aditi, 

Sometimes I think how much courage you would have needed to let Avi go because you knew he would probably never even realise that you loved him so much. It was you only who said you all were growing up and you all had to stop behaving like children when Bunny got admission to Chicago. 

You were not sure whether Bunny would come to your wedding but you gave your best by at least sending a video message, I could feel you were missing him so much and deep inside you needed your best friend. You were so happy when he was with you while you were getting ready on your wedding day. I still remember all those expressions you had while you were looking into the mirror.

You are among very few people who have changed for good. You were so upfront when Naina's mom asked about your studies, you told her without any hesitance that you do not like to study much. I couldn't have been friends with you in the first place because I am like a scholar Naina, but we would have gotten along on the Manali trip, because I know how to have fun exactly like you. 

You had everything a girl could ask for - beauty, confidence, wisdom & most importantly courage. You were so sure about Taran because you knew that spending time with him would make things alright. They say that people like us don't fit along with those boxes made by society, but we don't care even. We just need people with whom we can have a good time, with whom we can relax, can dance and talk about life. I hope Taran is one of them.

Lots of love,
S.

P. S. Although I am vegetarian, I would like to eat your ham & cheese sandwiches, so I hope someday you will invite me for that long conversation because I want to make things alright by spending some time with you.

Sid - Dil Chahta Hai


Dear Sid,

I can not describe how much I love you. I can relate to you at so many stages of my life because I'm somewhat like you, there are few qualities in you that I've in myself. You do not know much about how to crack jokes & end up saying serious things, giving pieces of advice and taking care of people. 

I can relate to your unconventional thinking about love. Love where age doesn't matter. Love which you can not describe, but you know there's no any bondage, there's just freedom when you feel like you have broken all those walls around you and you know that love is an emotion where you can feel each season, flower, colour, fragrance, moonlight, waterfall, forest, song, rain, butterfly and what not! You explained love so simply to Deepa while watching the sunset that I thought I wish I would have sat beside you at that particular moment.

The most beautiful thing is you actually listen to other people in conversations and then you reply according to the situation- sometimes with maturity and sometimes with innocence.

I love the way you devote yourself to art like all other people were chatting and enjoying at a graduation party, but you sketched Shalini, whom you did not even know. You wanted to make a portrait of Tara, and you knew that it would be the best painting you've ever made. I love the way you take care of your friends. At Chapora Fort, Goa, you thought you might lose your friends because you knew their importance, you're the kind of person for whom friendship is one of the most important things. 

Sometimes I think about how your room would look-alike in Kasauli, what you would be doing there or how would you paint certain things. Maybe you're a mountain person like me, or maybe not. But one thing I'm sure about is that you would be such a famous artist by now, and I hope you're in a happy place with happy people around. I genuinely hope that you've found whatever your heart had desired in your younger days.

Lots of love,
S.

P. S. Please send me one of your painting and of course your recent photograph with a cute smile!
