Letters.

Here's a series of my correspondences with Espera while I was in France. The bits in italics are written by her. I would write to her, she'd reply along the mail that I'd written. So, there you go:

more on class - i broke a tile today. it was loose and i was tryin to pry it away from the wall to see if it might come off. it was heavy and it just fell. aditya took it and told the teacher. it's like punya said, "he has something against me" and "he's juvenile". becuse he was jumping up and down trying to get it from mohit. btw, vaishali n mohit are the new SOTMs.
Ma'am found out about 'porn' in the song and cancelled it. the dance is cancelled. the song is yet undecided. only janhagir's prepared his speech. nothing else is on. your file actaully looks good. how were the cookies??????

E n F section had done one play (by the hindi stuents obv.) and they came third. the plays were really good!!! but strangely enough, i didn't like ours... i think we don't deserve the 3rd position.

no, it isnt huge its small and black and called blek;not meaning black but "small house" - imagine calling a dog a 'small house'. i assume blek is the name of the dog who was eating your blanket right??
y r u jealous of me????? its sukritis hosts father who makes wine;stupid - so???????????? never mind!!!!!!!! you still get to go camping and visit Paris and Disneyland while i'm stuck listening to Adtiya ask Vani to eat up the dustbin refuse. And er, practice fopr the assembly. we're singing time of your life. hopefully, tomorrow, rajesh sir will teach us how to do the guitar. i mean, he really will and wasn't just bluffing when he said "get ur guitar tomorrow". how was ur cultural show??
i went online from your account y'day. and your brother started chatting me up. don't worry, he knew it's me, sampoorna and not his sister little, subohi.

what was the natak abt????? - it was a nukkad natak competition. our class got the third prize. it was all aout social issues atually. E n F did it on corruption, glamour (abt how caught u we are on the everyday lives of famous people) and superstitions.
it isnt exactly a camp;well eat in the house but sleep in the wine yard if the weather is ok;which it usually isnt...........
french rain is normal
y do u have to tell adi i hate him????? he knos.............. - i didn't tell him.
ya, the meeting had to be hurried
even though i basically ran from ur house, i was late..........
firstly, we went to your house...late
2nd we went over the fly over than beside it..............late
3rd we couldnt find a cut.........late
4th when we found a cut we landed up on the road to dwarka.............late
