Subject: 3 friends

Honey,

About Thomas, I understand your concern about him. And I know why you thought of giving a room in your house. But to be frank, I am not sure that I like it. Because you are living alone and he is living alone in the same house. There might be days when both of you feel tired and distressed. Then I don't know what all can happen. This might be my selfishness, but I can't help thinking of all those because I want you to be the only mine.

Yesterday Ojas and I went to a pub and drank. There he asked why I am not telling about you often to anyone. I told him that discussions seem to be useless. He asked me to free my mind and tell everything. So again we discussed our issues. After 3 hours of open discussion, he also suggested the same thing I am doing. Leave everything to time. Be happy and love each other till the final moment comes. Talking about his girlfriend, his eyes became wet and talking about you, my eyes became wet. We sat without speaking for 10 minutes. He told me that he wants me, him and Ashok together wherever we go. He said that next year when we change the job, we all should be together. Do you remember Ashok? You had talked to him on phone long back. He is also a very good friend of ours. Ojas said that all of us should apply job in the same company abroad and if possible we all should work together. I didn't give him any assurance, because my first preference is your country.

After all this, now I am not in a mood to write about my family. But I keep this in my mind. I will write to you about them when I become calm again.

The divorce rate not only depends on education and money. Because here, even women doctors and engineers don't do divorce and such things so often. I think this depends on the tradition of the society. There are a lot of woman software engineers here. But still, divorce is very rare. When a divorce happens it becomes a big issue here. Here the society values family life too much.

What are you doing there now? I need to give a kiss to you for being with me through all my tough times.

Love

Kamal
