Ayesha-Rehan: 21-04-1997

Rehan, It did take an inordinate time to reach me. I’m writing this as soon as I have received the letter and am hoping to catch the second clearing today itself. Divya is doing well. The past few weeks have been lighter on our hearts and I can see subtle changes that bode well for …

Rehan-Ayesha: 25-02-1997

Ayesha, I know you didn’t sign up for this. No one did. It really is unfair to you, and I know it. I know you deserve better. I wish I could take all the loose strands of my life and tie them all together into a merry journey. I can’t. I am aware of the …

Ayesha-Rehan: 10-01-1997

Rehan, Divya is down with a fever since the past week. I have been literally living there since she fell ill. Jr. has been getting along with Jia and I think Divya is learning to get on. It’s like a dirty joke played by Providence that we humans “get” over the dead and “get” on living …

Rehan, I got the news just yesterday. All I could ask God was "What's going to happen to his daughter?" In spite of all the misgivings and discomfort, I finally gathered the courage to visit her. What do you tell someone who has lost so much? Is there any possible thing that one can say …

Rehan-Ayesha: 30.10.1996

Princess, Forget about the birthday for a minute. Did you seriously talk to the lady about my plans for Jr? She must've made a laugh about it, eh? She always was a good mimic. Just like my mother trust me. My mom could imitate the expression of a goal post if you asked her!!! Coming back …

Ayesha-Rehan: 15.09.1996

Dear Rehan, Happy Birthday!!! I know ‘your’ people wouldn’t have bothered celebrating your birthday so I’m almost sure I’m the 1st one to do it. You men don’t even know how to take care of yourselves forget about taking care of each other. I hope they are giving you a day off. C’mon honey one …
