I told him he was a sentimental fool and he should write poetry. Secretly of course, I loved it. He knew it too. I liked being adored. I liked the feeling of being so important to someone. I liked being the centre of someone's world.
Once you know what direction to take, finding the path to it becomes easy.
The feeling of a full stomach with completely satiated taste buds, a nice atmosphere and good company under a night sky is one of the most pleasant things that one can experience. I was content and I was happy.
Dearest Ankita, he had begun and I cringed. I was not his dearest. Pa rdon my addressing you as dearest, but right now that is how I feel towards you.

Swami Vivekananda had said “We are what our thoughts have made us. So take care what you think. Thoughts live. They travel far.” Right now Ankita, my thoughts are centred only on you.

I hope you like them. With love and warmest regards Ankita
