Not because today is special.
Because you are.

Chapter One:College & Reunion

We met twice.
The second time, I noticed forever.

First, we were simply two people in the same college. Then life took us away, let five years pass, and quietly brought us back.

Chapter Two:somewhere beneath a Munsyari sky

Friendship changed its name.

January 2023 was the beginning of everything

Chapter Three:The beginning of us

12 January, 2023

That was the first time you accepted your love for me.

I still remember exactly how those words felt.

Chapter Four:Vidhi, through my eyes

I love the world when you’re simply in it.

Sometimes I look at you and forget what I was about to say. Your face does that to me. Your smile, your lips, your eyes. Beautiful feels like too small a word, but it is the one we have.

Vidhi sleeping — my definition of sukoon
Watching you sleep is mydefinition of 'sukoon'.

Chapter Four:Vidhi, through my eyes

Always my favourite face in the room

I love the innocence in your smile and the way the smallest things still make you happy.That is what makes you, you.

Chapter Four:Vidhi, through my eyes

God's favourite work of art

Not only in photographs. In the way you love, persist, care,dream, and keep becoming. I am endlessly proud of you.

Chapter Five:THE BREAKUP

For a while, we lost us.

2024 broke us. We loved each other, but we did not know how to stop hurting each other. So we walked away.

But this chapter is not here to make pain beautiful. It is here because we survived it, learned from it, and found a way to choose each other with more honesty.

Even the hardest chapter belongs to our story.

for the girl who loves art

If Van Gogh painted the way I see you…

Even his best painting could only show the world your beauty.It could never show them why I love you.
