Hey Palak, So, I've made up my mind about the job in Pune. Dropping out of college? Nah, can't do it. What happens if the whole illustrator thingy doesn't pan out? Then I'm left with nothing, not even my engineering degree to fall back on.  I've decided to stick it out, get my degree, an…

Dear Palak, Missed wishing you in person again on your birthday. I really wish we were still chatting and I knew your address, Palak. I'd have definitely sent you something. Just caught a glimpse of your latest photos on Facebook, by the way. You look incredible. Makes me kinda proud of my…

Hey Palak, Guess what? I just landed a job in Pune as an illustrator for an ad agency. The pay's pretty decent, better than what I'd get in an entry-level engineering gig, and it looks like there's room to grow too. Part of me is itching to hop on the next flight to Pune, you know, the city wher…

Hey Palak,I just had this massive fight with my mom over Pallabi. She's convinced my relationship with her is messing up my studies. I flunked four papers again in my sixth semester. I had like 10 theory exams – six from this semester and four from the last. It was crazy, exams almost every day, an…

Dear Palak,  Out of the blue, I remember something about you and it drives me crazy. It's this memory from 9th or 10th grade, back in our school's Science lab. You were chatting with Subarna, your back to me, while I was messing around with a one-metre scale. I got this idea to sneak up be…

Hey Palak, There's something I've been wanting to ask you for ages. Remember the day after I proposed? Arnab mentioned that you wanted to see me before you left for Silchar, maybe even on the day you were heading out. Is that right? I didn't really buy it when Arnab said it, but now, part of me …

Dear Palak, Just wrote another song for you. Here it is: I tossed off the rose,While it still smelt your palm, I hushed your song,Though it worked like a balm!You walked away and never turned back, You laughed away and never turned back, I smiled, I sang and I howled in pain, I strived to sho…

Dear Palak, Something happened today. Dipan and I went to Sapthagiri College of Engineering to perform at their college fest. It was great. We sang our own compositions, which the crowd liked. We even gave a few autographs too, where I wrote: ‘Saving all my love for someone else,Pritam (Si…

Hey Palak, So, Pallabi and I aren't together anymore. She's really confused right now, feeling torn between me and her feelings for Arindam. She even admitted she might love both of us. I totally get how hard that is - I've been there myself. I love both you and her, and I have come to terms wit…

Hey Palak, So, here's the thing. I'm with Pallabi now, and yeah, I should be over the moon, right? I mean, I am happy, I won't lie. But there's this nagging feeling inside that keeps telling me something's off. It's hard to put into words. It's like, I see you in everything, even now. It's not t…
