Sub: Alpenliebes are more than chocolates

You know why are Alpenliebes not called as toffees and instead given the respect of a chocolate? Because they are classy. Non sticky like eclairs. Not boring and standard like maha lacto. Alpenliebes had flavors, they are classy. Most importantly they came cheap to buy off the little monkeys that were my cousins.

I am good. You are right, Delhi had been a dream. I don't know why I have always associated it with a way of life while growing up. Dreamt of working in a office located in a skyscraper, everyone dressed in crisp formals, speaking in English all the time. That was the dream. Somehow I got it into my head that going to Delhi would somehow bring that change to my life too. It was stupid really. Delhi though isn't how my imaginary Delhi was, it is good enough. I know the city is as famous as infamous, yet there is a part of my heart stuck in this city. Though there are no relatives, no friendly Neighbors like we had back in our hometown. Delhi feels like a home for so many lonely souls who are here to fight their own battles. It keeps up with them, makes them stronger. I like this place. To answer your question, a part of my dream did come true. Although some parts of the said dream, as mentioned will be a figment of my imagination.

With two sisters and so many girl cousins, why would I ever make a statement to look down upon girls. We Handa boys are in fact in minority when compared to Handa girls and we love them to death. I would never ever say such a thing to a girl Meera. In fact I'm pretty sure I would not be able to do some things girls are capable of doing. Why, our Geet, she is an amazing batswoman. Although she cheats sometimes, she still is the best we got on team when we were young and you know that.

I never realised I was imposing. Sorry for that. So much used to babysit, I thought I was just doing my job.

Although the free treatment is tempting, if gynaecology is going to be your specialisation, I doubt if ever it is going to help me directly. You being able to help will be subjective then. Subjective on getting married and have kids and the probability I have to say is much less. How about I have you as a reference in the hospital you will eventually work in.

Kriti and Sanju are happily married and settled in US and Canada respectively. Mother misses them dearly, so do I. How are your sisters and how are uncle and aunty. Give them my love.

Ps: Geet spilled the lack of sleep part? Why, we can have you in cc directly next time I mail her.

I really love her, but I stick to what I said earlier. My younger sister is a bug.

Sub: Stop looking out of the window!

Seriously, you got to stop looking out of the window unless you find any eye candy outside your window. However since you are in a girls hostel and since you seem not to bat for both the teams, I highly doubt you have that option to avail. Which leaves you with the only option of stopping to do so. You over think whenever you're allowed to sit next to a window.

Kamaal hain, sawaal khud karo fir you rant half a page about how it is a stupid question at first place. You boggle my mind girl. Boggle!

Chalo now that you have taken the pains of recounting the background story about the names, I'm curious what was the other name that was in race but couldn't make it through. Drashti sounds good but what was the other one? What does your name mean by the way?

Your AS according to me is an As(s). It must take special guts to act sissy despite being black belt in karate. Which reminds me are you sure he wasn't faking being in karate?

Protective? Psht. I was just trying to protect the poor guy who had the misfortune to stand next to the bas***d who pushed you. I'm pretty sure you have an amazing aim which would lead to you missing the guy you want to slap and ending up throwing the punch at an unsuspecting guy standing next to him. In order to prevent bodily loss and restore human peace in general I had been trying to help.

I see you sent another letter. Have to catch up with it. Until then,

Sayonara kiddo.,

Maan.

Sub: Why you aren't a terrorist

Ladki (I'm used to calling you that, can't seem to switch to your name that suddenly),

You're definitely not a terrorist. Or a serial killer for that matter. Both of them no matter how despicable are geniuses in their own way. So that eliminates you being one of them. Might I add, they are quite busy. I'm pretty sure they won't be sitting against their laptop typing away furiously about a Jingle to describe their friend's cute colleague.

Neither would they warn me about how naive I am (Insert a thunderous laughter). Ok let's not tease you so much that you would go into hiding and give silent treatment again. What to do, I need my daily dose of silliness and you head that department.

I do not write fiction although I have been friends with a certain lady for a couple of months and her dramatics have been rubbing off pretty well on me.

About clear eyes, my dear girl, have you ever seen someone not speak a word, yet you could make out from their face that there is humor lurking behind the eyes. Her eyes are such. Expressive and the asset to her face.

Now I'm not as forward as your AS(S) that I could ask our someone out for a coffee just like that. I'm after all, an old school man, writing love bards and nursing myself a drink at my incompetency in such a forward world.

I have not noticed my signature would hurt your delicate sentiments. Wouldn't dare risk the horror of causing jealousy to the certain love interest of yours. Why, thank you for letting me know. Maybe getting attached is a bad thing indeed. Never again would it repeat my dearest lady.

Your mere acquaintance,

Maan.

So,interesting letters sry emails 😆... Writing letters always give personal warmth ...gone r the days where used to wait for letters nd greeting cards which used to filled the curious heart with well -being of our loved ones nd friends ...then night used to b for writing replies nd then studiously going to post those letters ...pocket money was also divided for inland letters nd postal stamp too ..
Indeed a nostalgia...
We have come long way but these emails had those emotions ...constant bantering from each of them is gives u that warmth ,the togetherness of friends like geet ND meera,the unknown blossoming story of Ashwin nd meera ,the sisterly bond with Ashwin nd finally sometimes we need some unknown person to unleash hidden emotions as we r seeing from maan nd geet's emails ...
Enjoying thoroughly veil ...one of the best write up in forums nd exceptionally beautifully written ...looking forward for more ...

Sub: Our Secret

Dear Mr.You ( After all these years I'm not sure how to address you so going to stick with this one unless you have a better idea),

You'll have to decide what your sister is.
A bug or a monkey (she'll make a cute monkey)who can be bought off by cheap but classy Alpenliebes. After all this talk about it being more than chocolates, I really am craving for one right one. Do you still carry them with you?

And if Geet comes to know that twice you called her a bug ,she's going to bite your head off. :-D

But worry not,this is going to be OUR secret.

And please don't apologize. That imposing part came out as wrong no? I didn't mean to hurt you or something. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. It's just that I never saw you as my brother.
Brothers were not supposed to be so kind and caring. My cousin he'd push me and then afterwards laugh, he lived to make my life hell.

You know you used to be our hero- Geet and mine. We were always trying to emulate you, Mr.Perfectionist, you were for us. You still are.

I used to think that when I grow up I'd be like him.

There are days when I want to give up, leave everything and go to a far off place, Himalayas may be. But then I think about you. When despite of everything, you never gave up, how can I. So some of my strength and success, I owe to you.

I have known you for so long now. Of course , I know you're no sexist. Not even in my dreams can I accuse you of that. Why a man who shows respect to a twelve year old wild girl making her feel like a lady of twenty, I don't think he has it in him to think any lesser of girls.

If you don't mind, are you still the same responsible guy? Have you ever sworn or cursed at somebody? For you don't look the type. :-p

I have this serious, chivalrous image of yours stuck in my head. :-D

The wall fitting suits, breathtakingly handsome CEO's and clumsy secretaries in traditional dresses slipping and landing in the boss' arms, eye locks and flying dupattas that's how the Desi TV projects the corporate world. So are these things for real? Office located in skyscrapers , handsome boss, scantily dressed women as employees crushing on their boss and bitching about the incompetent but extremely beautiful small town secretaries.

Why is the probability less? Have you turned into one of those workaholics? No time for anything else?

No hot woman in your acquaintance for whom you'd like to break your celibacy oath? ;-) :-p

Shalu Di got married last year. Is in Goa now. Srishti will be appearing for 12th boards this year and then my little sister starts her college life. :-) How quickly time flies!

Anytime you feel lonely or bored or suffering from sardi- jukaam, I'm just a mail away. :-)

Yours sincerely,

Meera

Hi Sana,

Since you are in my next cubicle, I think it is ok for you to come down rather typing a mail.

PS: I am not blushing.

Sub: Five months pregnant

You know how hard it is to be pregnant? Wait, you don't have a uterus so I am assuming you DO NOT KNOW HOW IT IS BEING A PREGNANT. I am not the one I was months ago to pop into your cubicle as and when I want, if only to steal your Tiffin box.

Gone are the days I can sprint in the office. I am tired all the f**king time, and these pregnancy hormones are killing me. How am I supposed to eat Mango in off season? I crave to eat mangoes so bad. And if I drop one friendly mail, you reply with vicious sarcasm? Do not ever talk to me.

PS: I am withdrawing the offer I made you earlier. You can no longer be the baby's God father. You aren't going to be my muh bulawa brother anymore. We are over

Thank you for dragging me to ice cream parlor and getting me a mango ice cream. That did help. I feel a lot better. Well, you chanting sorry a thousand times helped too. I am so sorry for being bipolar. Sometimes Rahul says he is so glad you are around in office to put up with me.

Thank you.

PS: Yes, we are back to this mailing thing. It is cool.

Why was "Geet's friend" mailing you? Is this a classic case of childhood flames reconnecting? Aww, I am a sucker for childhood romances. What does she do? Where does she live? What did she write? Tell me everything.

I may not leave a comment every time (since I can't leave intelligible comments for a light-hearted story) but I do want to let you girls know you're both doing an amazing job.

I've read one such story earlier, a story told in letters. Epistolary. So inarguably, this reminds me of that story, but I just love this one. You've surely gained one loyal reader.

Thank you, girls!
