Remember Me.

Dear Sunny,

I watched this movie last night, called Remember Me. It was a purely contemporary, historical fiction and I loved every bit of it, mostly because it reminded me about Fire In The Mountain.
It was raining really heavily last night. There was thunder and lightning, and sometimes I flinched.

Back to the movie.

Akka had pestered me to watch it so many times that I finally gave in and watched it. It wouldn't be wrong to say that it changed my life.

Death is predestined. Living is a gift. When you die out of external factors and not because you're ill, they probably end up saying that you were there at the wrong place at the wrong time. But no. Life is just too cruel.

It's one thing to wipe out entire families like a tsunami, or classic Pompeii's case, but another to rob the family of a member. And it got me thinking, these kinds of tragedies can happen anywhere, at anytime. And it is a constant reminder that we are destined to die someday. It's just like the movie In Time, except, we don't know when we're gonna die.

It's not scary. It's just sad.

Pari.

P.S. Sorry if I burdened you with too much of death. I know you don't like it much. But, hey, I'm gonna die one day and who's gonna write you letters, then?

Grown up

Dear Sunny,
I finally, FINALLY, realised that I've grown up. I'll tell you how:
I know that I'm pretty and beautiful and even if I'm not pretty in a socially accepted way, I feel it. I'm happy.
I am able to make decisions. and stand up to myself and what I want. I hope I'll be done following the crowd and pleasing people, soon.
thank you so much.
I remember you when I'm reading I'll Give You the Sun. Wish you were here while reading so that we both could enjoy the magical , enchanting words and plunge into the art world.

Love,
Pari

You should've been there

Dear Sunny,

Do you remember the last time I shed more than one tear? And the cause of it was not a book or a movie?

I don't either.

It happened today. I went to the bathroom and cried. Not much, but it was something.

And I wanted you to tell me that I'm strong enough to endure all this. That I'm strong enough to fight for those who love. That I'm strong enough to do something about it.

Love,
Pari

A National Tragedy

Dear Sunny,
Today, we lost an amazing person today.
He was the 11th President of the country. An amazing teacher. An brilliant scientist. A humane human being.
We lost Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam today.
We will miss him terribly.

Love,
Pari

What is happening to me?!

Dear Sunny,

As I'm growing older, I feel more uncomfortable of myself and more self conscious. I also feel bitter about it, sometimes, and I don't want to feel like that. You of all people will know.

 God, help me.

Love,
Pari

P.S. I had so much to tell you. I feel like I rant to you all the time. I hope I don't.

My bag today

Dear Sunny,
For the first time ever, my nag was light as a feather. Well, maybe not as a feather, but definitely light.
And then I came home and worked, compensating for my light bag.
The Universe is cruel.

Love,
Pari 

So many things!

Dear Sunny,

I want to be able to connect with art.
I want to read so many YA and non-YA books.
I want to watch a lot of theatrical movies.
I want to read a lot of manga.
I want to watch a lot of anime.
I want to work.
I want to write.

That's a lot of things. I know.

Thanks for listening, as always.

Love,
Pari
