I was not around when the envelope was brought in the room. As I entered, I was excitedly told about it and curiously read it.Written in black with fountain pen in flawless handwriting. The vocabulary was Victorian, if I am allowed to call it. The letter describing the first meeting and feelings thereafter. It was indeed a love letter. The first love letter I had ever read though not for me.Truth was revealed a few hours later with everyone becoming Sherlock Holmes coming up with every possible theory. The letter had been delivered to the wrong recipient.
" Who writes like this?" was what I thought rather sarcastically. Writing letters and expressing feelings, love particularly, always seemed something that happened in novels and movies not real life. My myth, all thanks to my zero experience in the same field, was taken for a toss when someone experienced called it " pretty balanced". There I was trying to have a good laugh about everything and suddenly I was told things like this happen in reality too. In less than 24 hours my myth was completely and totally shattered to microscopic pieces with people going awwww and wowwww about it and narrating their love stories.
Now the question bugged me: Why does my reality not have such dream sequences? Fairy tale endings or invisible violin singers? Well, I couldn't help but wonder if my reality was on the wrong track.
Staring at the ceiling at night trying to come up with reasons I finally came to the conclusion that fairy tales aren't probably meant for everyone.I mean, someone has to be there to laugh at all those people with red balloons on Valentines Day!
Well, as far as the love, letter and lovers are concerned. It has been made sure that the letter reaches its rightful owner. Someone's Fairy tale should come true and for the rest of us there's Taylor Swift and her "Fairytale Ending" giving us hope that someone in dark grey T-shirt will come and see you in a dress and let you know you look pretty even when you look like a mess and that day would be fairy tale.
Yes.....that day indeed would be a Fairy Tale.

Well writ Nidhi. I especially see an evolution of your writings style, where creativity is seeping in gradually. The autobiographical notes are not reading like a diary but very much like an aticle. That's commendable.Way to go girl.
ReplyDeleteNow getting into the fulcrum of the article, i'd say that yes, there are instances where things seem fairytale in people's life. But then, there are fairytale moments in everybody's life. It depends on the situations as well. For example, a couple who can hardly meet, if they get to spend a day would be fairytale. A guy who writes poetry to a girl who doesn't understand it wouldn't be a fairytale. Haha. So seeing a letter written by hand is indeed a good thing in today's time, but as you said, even a guy who finds you attractive even when you are in a mess is fairytale as well.
