Dear Puchii..

WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY…

Congrats on conquering this journey of 20 years as a conqueror. Today, you look beautiful and you always do.

I am proud of you for everything you are today a type of person who is now full of leadership responsibilities (and not full of shyness as you were 3 years ago😶 LOL and i understand why you were so.. you had a very strong opinion.. matter of fact but i hardly voice it in fear of being mocked or ridiculed …)

Let’s talk about the journey of past one year…

I know it was tough … maybe that’s the toughest one because as you are getting older you are putting more of you for others especially for friendship, that’s why it hurts more .. you have lost friends.. spent Alone time(also scared).. you have seen your friends cheating you.. giving false judgements to others about you.. trapping you again and ,again cheating you.. definitely, that was not a fun.. and yes it’s true .. you lost yourself for sometime.. lacked your confident badly because of fear of being judged or trolled by those friends …

…But i am really very glad and so proud of you, how you recovered yourself all alone, without anyone’s support in a beautiful and even more confident girl.. the girl who sat Alone on the tracks thinking how others will judge for her looks, dresses, walks..she now sits confidently on the bank sketching the horizon ☺️…Just thanks to those persons and so called friends who were responsible for those tough days and moulding my personality more gleaming...

There was a time, you were tired of letting your fear and expectations to have a say in your future, but on the horizon of 2021–22, you finally started not letting your fear decide your future..

Actually… It took 20 years😅😅 to realise that not everyone is your friend 😅😅😅.. You are the person to walk up to a total stranger and talk with them like you’ve known them your whole life 😂😂LOL.. EVERYONE DON’T HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS, MANY OF THEN USE YOU AND LEAVE YOU FEELING DRAINED IN THE END AND IT INCLUDED EVEN THOSE PEOPLE WHOM YOU TRUSTED FOR YEARS 😅…

But.. for this new year.. you promise yourself to not have the expectations.. be it anyone.. family, friends.. you can only expect of me THAT is YOU AND I PROMISE, I WILL TRY TO FULFILL ALL YOUR EXPECTATIONS TILL THE LAST WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN… One more thing you need to work is your overthinking that always creates a Problem that’s not even there.. and those thoughts likely to take a visit in your mind sometimes..

You Know What.. Your Family, Friends, Boyfriend.. for sure.. They can make you feel good .. but at the End Of The Day.. you will have only yourself and I am glad that you love yourself in such a way that forms the base of your confidence.. And By the Way…

The Day you decided to live all alone and to take all the responsibilities of Mahi , Studying, teaching, painting, home making, Moulding The way you tackled your aggression, possession, expectations and the habbit of forgetting your stuffs even after being asked about it and indulged Yourself into a 24*7 no space shedule and you Managed it so efficiently.. I admire your work Ethic and I fall in love with you once again 😍😍 and for all these.. she is Mrs. Pathak👩‍👧..

Even on the Bad Days.. you picked out something best about you and even though Everything That has happened to you, I am still holding the pen and writing down the best story for you.. That’s not necessary to be Perfect ..

Stop letting others judgement control you… They will Say.. it’s obvious.. They are Born to Say😅😅.. yes, i know you feel pissed off but swallow it ☺️ …

How can I forget mentioning Parth😍 He is inside you.. stop searching him in someone else.. No one deserves to be called Parth.. Affording to be him is much more far 😅..

The point is.. you’ll make mistakes, cry, but don’t Break down just because others are mean to you.. Life is a story written by Pen, You can’t go back and erase your mistakes.. The key is that, at present… You are my favourite.. you are my ideal..You are growing in a beautiful confident soul and I Will.. everything you want to be.. because.. you Deserve it.

I’m sure, as the Last One, This year is also going to be Rough, Crazy but also a beautiful learning Journey..

CONGRATULATIONS.. To live Your Life At This Potential.. and Always remember YOU CAN LIGHT UP ANY ROOM🥰🥰 AND YOU TEACH ME SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY..
