Subject: I am back

Dear,

I came back yesterday evening. The marriage was great. So many people came and Akarsh's parents were running around here and there very busy. I understand why parents want their children to get married the way they say. Because they get a chance to do some things for their children. I was thinking of our relationship then.

I had to go for the marriage because Akarsh is a close friend of ours and he is also in our gang. He married the girl he loved. They were in love for some 4 years. I knew everything about them. Not only I but all of us. So we had to go to the marriage. You know here in India if someone doesn't go for the marriage of a friend, even if he is invited, it is regarded as a bad thing. It means that the person doesn't care much about the friend.

This weekend I have to go to my house to tell my parents that I am going to Germany. I haven't gone home for the past 4 months.

Here a change in my phone number. Now the last four digits are 1XXX. This got changed on Friday.

I will leave for Germany on the 8th. I will go to the office mostly on the 9th or 10th. The first thing I will do is to write to you. I want you too to be my side during the trip. To hold your hand and walk through the streets just like we did there in S city. To stay in the hotel with you and do some "exercises"...

Here preparation for Visa is going on in a hectic mood. I haven't told my parents yet. Today I will call them up. You are the first person to know about this outside my office.

I am a bit worried, you didn't send any mail during Saturday and Sunday. Now I am eagerly waiting...

Love

Kamal
