Dear Tulika,

How are you? I’m fine, “no thank you”.

I’m writing this letter just to clarify that I am not the one who gave your name for the kho-kho team. I was smiling only to trick you.

Anyways, all the best.

Lots of love,

Gauri

Best of luck for ur future. My best wishes are always with u.

Lots of Love,

Dear Tulika,

You are a beautiful girl with good nature, you have very nice hair, good writing. My sister also likes you.

But sometimes you sound bad.You take too much tension.

And you two are addicted to food so much especially my upma that you don’t care for me.

Best of luck for your future plans.

Neha :)

PS: Yesterday I found my old diary and from there dropped some letters- soulful washes on paper planes.

Yes, these are some friends who made the first one and half decade of my life glorious. Paper planes launched for me, bits that cascaded through rows, benches and also sent via messengers for we missed each other so much if either was on a leave. I still have those paper planes, tit-bits, love letters and not to forget the hot red roses which were given on friendship’s day (A special mention to Sama and Nikita who gave them to me which I was afraid to take back home).

Thanks Gauri, Naina, Isha, Neha, Priya, Trisha, Tanvi, Priyala, Nehul, Nikita, Pankhuri, Nandita, Meenal, Divya, Aditi, Suruchi and the other beauties for touching my life in most special way. Love You all...

Tulika...

:O

Gave me goosebumps...
Truely, school life is the best part of one's life....
School days form the sweetest and long lasting memories...
The post reminded me of my own days...in Campion.

Initially while reading the first para...I thought that the whole idea of paper planes is so silly and girly....but when i concluded....I almost had tears in my eyes.

Really wonderful, straight out of a fairy tale.

"Mujhe lauta do mera woh bachpan..
woh kagaz ki kashti,woh baarish ka paani..."

Was reminded of this song while reading the post...

I wish I could turn time back into those innocent,bubbly days of life...where there was joy,mirth and much more...

P.S.: Simu (Abhishek Sim) was a part of my school days.
