Roshni!!!!

Thank you for taking me to a trip back to India Gate. The little girl in me also bought the huge big balloon, even though the parent behind thought ki yeh gaadi me kaise fit hoga ghar jaate samay.

I am truly grateful for this.

And your voice. It really took me back 30 years and dropped me back teary eyed.

Yes. There was a gentle breeze! ❤️
