10 Years or 20 Years!
It was on 18.08.2005 that I had first seen you. I don’t have that snap to reproduce here but I do have that snap in my mind to admire whenever I wish to. I still remember that when I had seen you, I couldn’t take my eyes off till about a minute. Don’t know why but everything is so vivid!

That day both of us were in 1st year and were clouded by tension of ragging by seniors. Talking with each other was way out of the question! But that image is close to my heart and no one can take it away from me. Only after completion of 1 more year that we were in the same classroom and I could see you more often.
20 years hence, we are together and I can’t have enough of loving you! As Thakur said, “this life has no end, we are to live innumerable lives”. You may say I am selfish, but I want you again and again — to be with me. laughing, arguing, crying, singing, dancing, climbing mountains, flying, photo shooting, walking on the beach, running, always by my side, growing old into the next life once again..
10 years before, I had started writing letters to you, one by one. Slowly and slowly, I could not let go of you this time. With every day that passed, you made me grow more and more fond of you. This year it would be your 10th birthday that I will spend with you. Love’s nature is to grow and expand. With you it has blossomed into so much more.
Shone. I love you.
