JUST ANOTHER DAY I MISSED YOU

Dear Palak,

It’s Mahashashthi today and I can’t help but miss you a lot. Remember the last Durga Puja? That’s when I proposed to you and it turns out it was the last time we actually talked face to face. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time, maybe not propose, just so we could still be talking.

Hey, are you in Dharmanagar right now? I’m stuck in Bangalore; no breaks for the Puja, sadly. Some of my Bengali friends actually managed to sneak out of the hostel and didn’t even bother asking the department or the warden. Crazy, right? I didn’t dare to do that, though. My parents have put so much into my education here, I can’t just throw it away.

But really, I wish I was there. Maybe I could’ve seen you if you’re around.

With love, hugs and other things,
P
