It was her long term wish that when I propose to her, it should be with a hand written letter. That too, within 41 days!
Quite a considerate condition put by her. There is a reason behind it. She knows that I have a very bad handwriting and that I hate writing on paper after I got used typing instead. Now, she expects me to undertake that monstrous and inhuman task if I wanted her to say "Yes". With keyboards, I was like an Opera singer. Songs and Dialogues just flowed when I am on stage or even in a small get together. I can be the most romantic person while talking to her for any number of hours or days and she loved listening to me all the time. But when it comes to writing, my hands won't move at the speed of my thought. So, invariably, anything I write by hand, turned out to be like 'Pitman's Shorthand for All'. Whether it is a story or a poem or a Screenplay, it's all the same. Of course, I am not proud of that at all. Now this task is like a Democles' sword hanging above my head.
But I decided to go for it. I will propose to her with a letter. I started trying many ways to write. Including recording all I wanted to write on my phone and then writing them down by listening to it. But it all ended up like a Shakespeare's soliloquy! I was not able to generate that feel of a letter of proposal. I spent hours and days searching the internet for the best advise like an article or a YouTube Video. Each one of them turned out to be too cliché. Even I didn't like any one of them. Leave alone my dear who has her own strong and great choices. That's why I like her. Because she chose me.
