DEAREST STENI

Dearest Steni, 

    I hope this letter finds you amidst the bustling world of journalism, chasing stories and making headlines of your own. As I sit down to pen this note, I can't help but marvel at the incredible journey you've embarked on since our postgraduate days. Your path to becoming a journalist and your love story with Shyam have been nothing short of extraordinary, and I am so proud to be your friend.

    As and when, you used to shared your dreams of pursuing journalism during our postgraduation days, I never knew you were destined for greatness. Your passion for storytelling and your unwavering commitment to truth and justice were evident even back then. I followed your journey through the rigorous journalism course, and I was not at all surprised when you landed a job at the prestigious Indian Express. Your dedication and hard work have truly paid off, I must say!

   But your professional achievements are just one part of your inspiring story. Your love marriage to Shyam was a testament to your courage, resilience, and the power of love. I clearly understand the challenges you both faced – the cultural differences, the societal expectations, and the occasional doubters. Through it all, you both held onto your love with an unshakable belief in each other.

    I remember the day you first introduced me the love of your life, Shyam! The chemistry and connection between you two were quite evident in your conversation. To be honest, I was a little skeptical about the relationship, initially. I remember the conversations we had about the hurdles you faced, and every time, your optimism and faith in your love shone through.

    Little did I know then that your love story would become a beautiful testament to love's strength and resilience. 

    Attending your Christian wedding was an absolute joy. The ceremony was a reflection of your love – a love that transcended boundaries and brought two families together. The way your families embraced each other was a beautiful sight to behold. 

    Seeing you exchange vows was a heartwarming moment. The love in your eyes, the sincerity in your promises, and the overwhelming support from your loved ones filled the air with warmth and happiness. It was a day when love conquered all, breaking down barriers and uniting people from different backgrounds.

    As you continue your journey in journalism, I have no doubt that you will make a significant impact with your reporting. Your determination and dedication to uncovering the truth will shine through in your work, just as it did in your personal life.

    I want you to know that I'm, cheering you on from the sidelines as you chase your dreams and embrace love in all its forms. Your story, my dear friend, is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the pursuit of one's passions. 

May your pen be mighty, and your love everlasting.

Sending you all my love and warmest wishes for your future together.

With immense admiration and love,

Meritta
