To Peter ~ with Love

 Dear Peter Kavinsky,

You always wanted people to look at you beyond your physical appearance, beyond your heart-warming smile, lushy hair and well-toned body. But this superficial world only saw you with their superficial eyes. It’s difficult for someone to actually see right through you especially today when the air around you is full of pretence and the people around you are always trying to be someone they are not. When the air itself is filled with pretence it is difficult to keep yourself real.

At times even when you want to be real you can’t because the world is not very accepting towards those who dare to stand out. You often find yourself fighting with yourself when such conflicts arise in your mind. Its easy to get swayed and washed off by the waves of pretence and be a part of the ocean but being that rock that doesn’t get washed off by the waves takes a lot of courage.

In the era of text messages, you fell for a ‘love letter’. You are so easily deceived to be the guy who plays around but deep down you are one of those who believes in old school romances and taking things slow. You didn’t want to take it fast because probably you understood that comfort, trust, compatibility and friendship isn't built overnight.

We all require emotional support and at times this emotional support is what gives us the courage to own ourselves completely and unapologetically. The emotional support and strength you got from Lara Jean pushed you to own you the way you are. She completely swept off your feet when you gathered that she could see right through you, and you didn’t have to wear any facades. You could just be you and you loved the person you were with her.

Longing for something to last forever is so stupid because nothing lasts forever and forever doesn’t exist on this planet. Every forever ends but deep down in my heart I do not want what you both have to end. What you have with LJ was so charmingly unique and endearing that maybe ‘always and forever’ does exist for the two of you.

2nd April 2011 - A Memorable Date

  2nd April 2011, A date that will always be etched in the memory of every Indian cricket lover. A day when the entire nation celebrated a festival irrespective of their religion. A day when the dreams of billions of Indians across the globe were fulfilled. A day when we brought home the trophy after 28 long years. It was the first time in the history of cricket that two Asian countries met each other at a World Cup final. The match was scheduled to be played at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. This World Cup Final was going to be Master Blaster Sachin's last world cup and it was also MS Dhoni's first ODI world cup final as a captain. I can recall what this day was like, 10 years back. A 10-year-old little girl anxiously sitting in front of the television with her hands folded and lips sealed. All she could understand about cricket were its basic rules. She only knew what a boundary and wicket meant. During the first innings of the 2011 World Cup Finale game, with every b...

To Sehmat ~ with love

Dear Sehmat Khan, Not every soldier wears a uniform. The uniform does not make you a soldier. Your courage, bravery and presence of mind do make you one. You do not always have to be at the forefront to be a part of war. War is not only won by the soldiers fighting on the frontlines but it is won by the sacrifices of all those whose names have never been mentioned in history. Heroes who go unsung are the keys to many locks which were never mentioned in history. You were just a student at Delhi University, hardly 20 when you sacrificed your innocence, dreams, and life for your nation. You accepted the proposal of marrying someone on the other side of the border for the sole purpose of spying on them. A girl with absolutely no experience in spying took the risk of going into the enemy's territory even after knowing that she may never be able to make it back home to her country. There have been times when we all doubt our abilities, but never even once did you doubt your abiliti...
