Subject: too feel the need for hugging

Honey,

Still, you haven't got the chain. Only after you wear that, you will become married! So Miss Lee is still Miss Lee. Hmmm...but going to change soon!!!

I know it was not time for me to receive our emails. But after coming here, we used to write more than one mail a day, right? And not only that, after I reached the hotel, I was waiting for your mall, even though I know very well that we haven't decided to talk to each other yesterday. I don't know suddenly why this feeling of more closeness, even though physically we are more far away.

Indian English writers mean the writers born in India, but writing in English. Those writers haven't written any good book so far. You can buy the translated works of Indian writers, there are many good books from them.

The song I dedicated to you through the phone is from a Brittany Spears album. I don't know the exact name of the album. I will tell you the name of the album and song soon. But that time you didn't seem to be interested in that.

And your TOEFL classes are going to start this Sunday, right? Good, study well, use your ever thinking brilliant brain.

Introducing you to my parents is still a grey area. I have thought of it. But never reached a conclusion. I think I have to do it very slowly and deliberately. How will I handle things, I am not yet clear. They are sure to be shocked. And keeping relatives out is just our imagination. They will, of course, come into the scene once they start asking about my marriage. I think many of the relatives might have already started to look at someone for me. Let us see...

You are not familiar with the customs and relationships in my family. So it is difficult for you to find a solution to this problem. But you can, of course, tell me what you think. We can discuss how to proceed. I couldn't be there for your holiday festivities. But I wish you the very best from all over the world.

I too feel the need for hugging your smooth body. You know it is so cold here...I am waiting for April...

Love

Kamal
