"I'm a very private person; yet I'm an open book..
You don't ask.. you won't know!"- Khushi

Gone are the days when people wrote letters. That anticipation and eagerness in waiting for their arrival was all worth; as though it was the person itself who touched your soul. The nervousness that wreaked upon while replying to them and thinking about their reactions.
Gone are the letters, gone are their sweet wait,
It's all about this digital era portraying our hatred to wait.
••••••••••••••
If only you could count on your fingers, how many people you meet online daily.
Making 'em all your friends and corrivals.
Then there was this person,
Folly as thou shalt say,
I replied him out of blue, which took him to dismay.
Funny, smart and a little foolish as I say;
Turns out he was a good mate as thy shall say.
A good listener he is,
But an over exaggerated person one might say,
But he ain't no foe and a good friend whom upon I can relay.
And then one day he mailed me his letter,
Which took me by surprise,
I was left speechless.. by this good friend of mine.

"Just a small genuine attempt to pen down my feelings/thoughts about you! In a world full of people flirting, appreciation is rare. Hope this brings a smile on your face!
Hello Dairy
Yes its been long since we talked. I know, the digital era has taken over and very few people actually mind talking to you. Well, in light of the recent events, I was forced to pen down my feelings. Its about, “The girl I met on Instagram”!
Yes, you guessed it right. It’s a girl!
I know, its always a girl!
But I am telling you, this one is different(actually). Remember, how I used to boast about myself and my achievements, well, I am not sure if I can do that any further. Not at least in front of her. So let me begin from the start, don’t worry I won’t bore you to death. Besides, you are the only thing thats alive to me and she is the kinda girl who never fails to fascinate!
So, it all started in high school. A random request to a fellow school mate(yes, not classmate, she is junior), accepted!! Woaah, I am already excited. And as any immature boy would do, I sent her message: “Hi”. No reply. After few days again; “Hi, Ishan here!” (thought that would sound different). Again no reply. Well, by now you clearly know that she was not into me.
Yes, yes, yes. Thats what popular girls do!
*3 years later*
(Now I call this abrupt transitions 😅 )
She actually saw my message. God, not on messenger but on Instagram. Yes, she just did. I am happy 😁.Lol no, I am dancing 😍🤩!! And soon, seen changed to typing. Yes she actually replied to me. Yes, ME !!!
Well, I prayed to god last night before sleeping. So maybe, there is some God! Now, I had to do something that I was clearly not prepared for. Not to sound, weird or mainstream or boring and yet to remain myself (PRO tip: Always be yourself). So yes, I texted her in one of the best possible way I could, out of the 23 possibilities I imagined. We talked!! God, I am the luckiest human on earth right now!
From getting replies once a week to texting daily, I was doing great on my part!
Ohh wait, I know you must be thinking that I am directly going to the main plot without giving the trailer. So yeah, let me tell you about this girl.
Khushi!

Oops, I was lost😅🙈 . Yeah, so Khushi, just as her name suggests, she has been bringing smile on my face with each text of hers. Its mesmerising, how much beauty comes naturally. We are blessed with a sky of gazillion forms. An awestruck beauty of nature. Yet, all this things fail in front of her. She has dis kinda long hair, not too straight, not too curly, kinda wavy; umm, just perfect. Those eyes of hers, if looked into, can tell you a thousand stories. Inspired, motivated, passionate, grateful, open minded and what not! Just check the dictionary and that too wouldn’t be enough to express her. And ohh god yes, that smile of hers…Actually, its hard to describe her this way, because if you happen to see her, I am sure you too, like me, fall short of words. She seems to be the princess who knows how to make her way and slay! Yes, she has an excellent dressing style and damm that attitude, or shall I say it self-confidence, she wears it as if she owns everything. A girl so imperfectly perfect, that would make one believe in the very existence of magic. Beauty with brains would be the metaphor that would best suit her.
I stay online every time, just to make sure that I don’t miss any of her texts. Most of the times going again and again through her Instagram profile or waiting for her to reply. I mean, you don’t want to have a bad impression with those late replies. (No, thats just an excuse, she is so damn special, ohh god, how can I make her wait). She tells me the kinda person she is, and all the achievements she has accomplished so far. And god, when she told me this, I won’t lie, but I swear, she is “The girl with goals”. And who on earth would not want a woman like her in their life. Just perfect in every way. I mean, you can find many good looking women, but a women with such an amazing personality, is surely a treat to ones soul.
I just want to talk to her 24*7. God no, I don’t want to talk to her (I have heard, texts can create a lot of misunderstandings). I want to meet her. Guess why? Yes, her eyes. I know, its always the eyes. I just want to meet her and look at those hard to resist eyes and just know her story. Although, I talk a lot, but when with her, I doubt! Also, I am jealous. Jealous of the people who get to see her, meet her, talk to her everyday! 😣
From one text a week to talking daily on Instagram, I surely have made a lot of progress. And I can say that because, its hard to impress her and yes, I think I do can make her smile or cheer up her mood! Gosh! I doubt if I am a friend of hers or she just happens to be my celebrity crush! No matter what, I feel so lucky to have such an amazing person like her in my life. God, please make her stay. I promise to be a good man. (Secretly wishing, *I would even share my cake with her*)
And yes girl, smile. Not because its a beautiful world out there, or its the end of the story, but because, there is this idiot who would do anything to see you smile :)
And yes, I guess our story has just started…
