Letters……..

A letter I wrote to my former friend on 25^th January 2014 and gave it to her the next day. I wrote similar letters to three other friends previously. Two of them are much closer to me now. So, I just hope we become good friends again.

Dear Friend,

I own you two apologies - first one for my behavior with you in the past and second one for today. I am sorry because I had decided to get you a card and chocolates as a token of my first apology. But, never the less I am writing this letter to express my most sincere feelings. I have been told many times that I write better than I speak. So, here I am. 

There are not many ‘Sorry’s and ‘Thank You’s that a person plans before delivering. Planning requires deliberate effort. Very few people take saying ‘Sorry’ and ‘Thank You’ seriously. It was last year that I became one of them.

I would also like to quote what my friend once said in the class. He said that we are born into particular culture by accident and hence, all the relatives including our parents become a part of our life accidently. I would like to add here that though such important part of our being is decided by fate, we choose our friends. And hence, I choose you.

I know that I have not been very nice to you. This letter is not a science paper where I would write reasons  and justifications. So, I decide to apologize. I am sorry and I mean it. Let the past be past. Being the ‘here and now’ people let’s start our friendship all over again. 

I hope not to hurt you ever again in any form.

Expecting a reply,

Sincerely,

Amruta

P.S. : Happy Republic Day

Every word of the letter was written after giving it a thought. Before writing the letter I was only wishing that everything becomes normal between us. When I read this letter now, I feel blessed to be even able to write such a letter. 

Thank You the Ultimate Truth or whatever you are over there. I thank you for making me what I am today.
