A few words of love in reply to what you wrote………!!!

(Apologies Mr. Steve Jobs, but she is much more important to me than the APPLE. However, I will surely complete the post that I was writing on you. For now, RIP. )

A few months back, this letter would have started with these underlined words………….

TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN

………………but things have changed and my options have reduced drastically. This letter is now a personal one and dedicated to only one girl. Some of you might get shocked to see this especially after having known me for ages. Let me set the record straight. I am being coaxed and cajoled into writing it and like any other wise man; I am playing it safe. So here it goes……

Shona,

Today your wish gets fulfilled SMARTY and you would find your name in my Blog. That is what you always wanted and you had to pay a huge price for this moment. The deal is heavily biased in my favour though. I just have to mention a name and for that I get the most wonderful girl on this earth. I am blessed- blessed with luck and a bit of grey matter. The deal is closed now and as we wait for a new phase of our life to start, I would like to say that it is my pleasure to write about you.

A few days back, I received a letter from you along with a book that you wanted me to read. Let’s not talk about that book today though. The words on the cover of the letter were so typical of you and I burst out laughing. I wanted to mind my own business as well but found it very difficult then. I wanted to read the letter but the ambience was not that great amidst all those borrowers, depositors and lenders. And Darls, I didn’t want to get emotional with the stink of the toilet as well. So I waited and finally managed to read it at home that night. Your honesty is perhaps what drew me close to you and that was pretty evident again in the words that you chose for me in your letter.

Love @Speed of Light……not the latest bestseller by Mr.Bill Gates but our relationship as you defined and as I agree. It happened so quickly. I was surprised to get a friend request from you on Facebook in the first place. Life is so unpredictable and there in lies its beauty. Shona we were destined to meet and it is amazing to note that just a year back, you were only a number in one billion. I was happy working with Levi’s in a different part of the country. Times changed and I had to join Satate Bank of Patiala. I was not happy and always felt that there was something better in store for me. God played his/her (Say NO to Gender Discrimination) amazing HAND and you walked, rather stormed into my life. Thanks to the Bank, life is good. I also need to thank your friends and my batch mates for if they had not said those good words about me, you wouldn’t have got interested in me I guess. You are an OPPORTUNIST and I am so grateful to God for making you that way.

“….........……it's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away!!!!!!!!”

I am just a mortal being and my words are neither divine nor magical in any sense of the imagination but only those words got us closer to each other. Initially, we talked and then you read my blog and then we flirted. But whatever I said to you perhaps revealed me as a person before you and you felt like you found your man. You were absolutely right…lol. I was shocked when you said that you mentioned me as your fiancée just to get someone off your back. And the funniest part was that you called me up after that and asked for my permission as if you would have gone back to say that “…nahi ji, thoda sa confusion ho gaya tha. Mera mangetar actually Ayan nahi Milkha Singh hain!!!!”. You are crazy and that is endearing.

We met a couple of occasions on training but then we never exchanged words apart from that attempt of yours when you tried to start a conversation in class but I pissed you and you friend off with my “ATTITUDE”. “Yeh ladka kya samajhta hain apne aapko!!!”…that was how your friend reacted perhaps. Shona if I had not reacted that way at that time then I wouldn’t have been writing this letter to you now. Some PEOPLE thought about me but tuney toh bich mein bhaanji (not niece) maardi. Oh I can’t forget those grilling sessions over phone when you would probe me like a FBI official does to a suspect. You were so desperate to get something out of me and even I could not stand against your might. I gave in and thank God that I did. We hit it off right there and we have been in this wonderful relationship since then.

You did not believe in long distance relationships and I never cared for any kind irrespective of the kilometres. I just can’t believe that it was so smooth and easy. Kudos to both of us for handling this so maturely but now we have to be much more careful. Let this wonderful thing get more magical. I have never told you that you are so like the woman that I always thought of getting married to. You are smart, intelligent, sweet, not loud, you carry yourself very well, you are not those sissy types, you enjoy humour, you like sports (ek ghar mein kam se kam Tulsi nahi aayegi…GREAT) and your honesty is infectious. Shona come down now….bahaut ud li …yeh sab likhna padta hain re…khud ke image ke liye…samajh na…lol.

I hope I have kept my promises till date and would love to keep you happy in future too. Things are working out and need you to be with me forever. The journey is going to be difficult but then together we can make it worthwhile. I hope there would be lots of “I Love You”and a bit of “Whatever!!!” from you in this life and that would be exciting.

I can’t believe that you brainwashed me into doing this. Adi says that you are so “Bholu”, but only I have seen the devilish streak in you. But then your mom loves me more than she loves you and I will call her more often now by reducing our talk time…hehehe. Awwwwww……thik hain….chal I will not reduce the talktime but then may I ask-“ Which fish curry are you cooking today????”……hahahahaha.

I won’t make this any longer. Anyways you are not studying for the exam. Zindagi bhar main nahi sun sakta ki merey vajah se tu fail ho gayi thi…chal, u tell me if you are happy with whatever I wrote for you.

I am so glad that you are with me and that we would be spending the rest of our lives together. I am indeed lucky to have you (you can copy paste these lines to your comment below…I know u mean all that). Be the way you are…of course you can age but always remain that honest girl who I just can’t do without.

It’s only a matter of days now. Till then, I would miss being with you but in the meantime you can spend some good time in the kitchen and I can spend some good time drawing out a list of my favourites on the dining table…hahahaa. LOVE YOU…GUL.

Yours faithfully (…I know you wanted this)

Ayan

Note: SHIT….can’t believe that I wrote this….hopefully she does not ask me to sing next time. Love is Dangerous!!!!
