To a friend
Just wanted to say: you make hard days easier and good days brighter. Thank you for being exactly who you are.

To a friend
Just wanted to say: you make hard days easier and good days brighter. Thank you for being exactly who you are.
To you
Good morning! Wherever you are today, I hope something small makes you smile. You deserve it.
To you know who you are
I've been meaning to say this properly: I'm sorry. I hope we can move past it, together.
To my person
Miles apart but never far from my mind. Counting down the days until I see you again.
To you
Whatever today looked like, you showed up. That's enough. Be proud of yourself.
To you
You probably don't know how much that small thing you did meant to me. So, thank you.
To Maa
Maa, hostel ki chai pee pee ke samajh aaya, tumhari chai mein adrak nahi, pyaar hota hai. Jaldi ghar aa raha hoon.
To the new kid
Tomorrow is your first day. You'll forget someone's name, you'll get lost finding the pantry, and you'll still be brilliant. They hired you for a reason.
To you
Ten years, two cities, one terrible sofa. I'd choose you again in every version of this life.
To the topper
YOU PASSED. All those 2 a.m. study nights just turned into this moment. Go celebrate, loudly.
To whoever needs this
If today feels heavy, put the kettle on and listen to the rain for a minute. Nothing needs fixing right this second.
To Bhaiya
Bhai, you never said it, but I saw you skip the new phone so I could go on that school trip. I noticed. Thank you.
To my oldest friend
I went quiet when you needed me loud. That's on me, not you. I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere.
To Nanu
Your tulsi plant is still growing on the balcony, Nanu. I water it every morning and tell it about my day, like you did.
To you
Being scared and doing it anyway is the whole definition of brave. Look at you, doing it anyway.
To the newest one
Hello, tiny human. You don't know it yet, but a whole family has been waiting for you with too many gifts and even more love.
To Mrs. D'Souza
You wrote βyou have a voice, use itβ on my Class 8 essay. I'm a journalist now. I still have that notebook.
To you, on a Sunday
No plans, no alarms, no inbox. Just toast, sunlight and the permission to do absolutely nothing.
To my dance partner
We couldn't dance, the song was too fast and you stepped on my foot twice. Best four minutes of my life.
To the one who just moved
New city, no friends yet, the flat smells like paint. Give it three months. Future you is going to love it here.
To the team
Seven people, one slide deck, zero sleep, and we WON. Samosas on me tomorrow. I'm so proud of this team.
To Papa
Papa, I said things I didn't mean. You were only ever worried about me. Can we go for that drive on Sunday?
To my best friend
Happy birthday to the person who knows all my secrets and somehow still picks up my calls. Love you, pagal.
To you, right now
In for four. Hold for four. Out for four. You've survived every hard day so far. You'll survive this one too.
To you, 9,000 km away
Different time zones mean your good morning is my goodnight. Still my favourite part of every day.
To the night-shift nurse
To the nurse who held my dad's hand at 3 a.m. when I couldn't be there. I never got your name. Thank you.
To you
You leave the last bite of dessert for me every single time and pretend you're full. I see you. I love you.
To you
It didn't work out. That's okay. You're allowed to start again as many times as it takes.
To you
I forgot your birthday and there's no good excuse. Dinner's on me, dessert too, and I'll remember every year after.
To you
The moon is huge tonight. Wherever you are, look up. We're under the same one.
