    Juli dearest,

    Where we are is where we're meant to be. Heard that from a song sometime ago...at a time when our paths didn't exactly cross. Six years is a long time, isn't it? That's longer than it takes to assemble a Beemer in Germany and ship it over to Timbuktoo. I hope you don't mind me voicing out publicly like this. Worry not, despite delusions of grandeur that I may suffer from occasionally, I know for a fact that I don't exactly have a large fanbase so I'm hopeful that you'd be the only one reading this.

    I've always wondered what it's like at that place where the river meets the sea. Little did I realise that I'm fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to take a dip at that other wonderful place in your heart. And it is an ocean of love indeed! I read once in a book that it's all about choices. That in a world full of choices, we chose each other. Well, perhaps. But I believe it's more than just about choices. Charles & Keith vs Ferragamo, Katherine Hamnett vs Armani, Crumpler vs Prada, Esprit vs Burberry...those are choices. Choices that one makes based on taste, price and other trivial criteria not fit to be discussed till the cows are afraid to come home. It was totally unexpected and as far as surprises go, this is far more splendid than winning a BMW Z4 in a lucky draw. Well, everything is dictated by a power greater than all of us and the galaxies put together. And I am thankful for you and I am even more thankful that there is a place in your heart for little old me.

    You have been kind, patient and understanding. These are virtues which are non-existent in neither the Beemer 3 series nor the 5 series...or the 7 series for that matter! I could probably justify my opinions but everything's been said...and this open letter should not serve as a discman on repeat mode. More importantly, I want to thank you for everything. For being patient, for understanding and for loving me the way you do. And I want you to know that you're the best thing that has happened to me in a long while. It has been trying at times...almost as trying as locating the elusive Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq or finding the keys to a Beemer in my keypouch. And I appreciate your patience through it all. You keep saying what a gift I am to you. Well, as much as it's an ego trip for me, I beg to differ. The gift's not me...it's you. I'm just the common breed and you...you're a princess.

    It's almost three in the morning and I've to drag my reluctant feet to work sooner than later. To cut a long dramatic story short, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love. I am totally humbled, touched and excited. Words fail to describe how I feel. It's amazing, isn't it?

    India lima yankee.


    Lovingly yours,
    just me.

    p/s: May it be. And if it's meant to be, may it remain so. Insya Allah.
