Subject: Angles of the question

Dear Sabrina,

How are you now? Yesterday I couldn't write to you because there was a selection trial for the company cricket team. I had to take part in it.

So now I can write the "answer". This is almost like a dream come true. You come here and meet me. I am thrilled, I should say. At the same time, I am tensed too. Because I don't know how to receive you and all. You told not to worry about you. Easier said than done. How can I keep not worrying? And you know I am staying in a bachelor's lodge. So they won't allow you to stay with me. I have to arrange accommodation for you. There, also, I have to be very careful. Because India is a traditional country and staying with a girl other than your wife is considered illegal. Both of us may end up in a court if they ever find out.

These are all minor things that we may be able to manage. The real problem is something else. September 16th I am leaving for Germany. I thought I would surprise you on Aug.17th. I was thinking of calling you up via telephone. I will be in Germany for 3 months. By December end, I will come back. Too bad!! I want to tell you this thing in person. But I was forced to say it blandly. But don't worry, three months is a very small time. I will be able to read my mails from there too. Three months will fly past and then I will be back. If you don't have holidays then, I will try to take leave and come there.

But, still, if you want to make our meeting happen, I will keep my word of "we will make it come true, whatever happens". I can force my Project Leader to find out someone else to go instead of me. The only thing I will just have to find out a reasonable lie!

About Aug. 17th, I have the song "nothing gonna change my love for you" with me. Now tell the exact details and time, today is Aug 14th. Write in detail in the next mail. I have to arrange my appointments according to that. I came here to write to you today. Yesterday I was a bit upset since I couldn't talk to you.

I will send the photo again from the office id. I think your Buddha is a bit jealous of me because I am taking away his most beautiful girl. That is why all these things are happening now. Now look, I won't let you plead with Buddha. Understood my lovely?

I am waiting for your photo. Your lovely face is going to make my days to nights and nights of bliss.

Yours only

Kamal
