A lot has happened in our lives since we last posted on this blog. As we both have had plenty reasons to stay really busy in life, our blogs and emails have decreased.  But we’ve atleast managed to chat most days of the week almost all year long. Our extra-ordinary love story keeps getting more out of the ordinary day by day. But i know Mary would agree to when i say that we don’t mind our love story to get a little ordinary, especially the part where we get to see each other more often than half a time in three and a half years (we were on the same continent once). It does get difficult at times to maintain a long distance relationship, but then again that just tests the depths of love.

One thing that helps in keeping our relation going, infact makes it more lovely is as simple as pen and paper. Mary loves to write and read letters, and as we both agree that a physical letters means a lot more than an email or a chat. This fondness of hers has woken up the 5 year old kid in me, who used to love writing letters so much that he would write garbish (cause he hadn’t learnt to write yet  ) and post letters to himself. While I’ve been lazy enough to write letters only twice an year, Mary’s been much more frequent in writing letters.

In this blog i would like to write about the most recent letters that i’ve got from Mary. She sent me a lovely stuffed toy, nut chocolates and handwritten letters. Guess how many? Not one, not two, not even five but 8 letters. Am i lucky or what?   i get 8 lovely letters from the loveliest person on the planet and what is the occasion? Nothing  :) , She was just missing me and i was unavailable for chat, so she wrote me letters which she could post to me later. Thanks a lot Mary for the lovely letters. Words coming directly from the heart have a special meaning.

Next comes the Chocolates. Mary how did you know i love the nuts + chocolates combo? I got this packets of chocolates which is native to Australia because of the nuts used. 

When i got the chocolates, i told myself – Harman, don’t finish it off immediately, eat and cherish the extra sweetness of this chocolate for a few days. But the chocolates were so yummy, that i would convince myself to have just “that one more piece” of chocolate. Before i knew, three quarters of the chocolate was finished within 1 hour of opening it J. Putting in my best efforts, i managed to delay finishing off the chocolates to the next day.

Next comes Jumpy. Yes i’ve given my stuff toy a name. Since he’s from Australia you must have guessed he’s a Kangaroo (i still cant believe people eat kangaroos ). Here see for yourself how cute the infant looks.

Well Mary since you got the toy for children above 3 yrs old, you guessed my age perfectly.. he he. And your prank worked out perfectly, even better than you would have expected. Jumpy was packed in a Tin can, and i didn’t have a can opener. I tried to open the can using combination of nailcutter, knife etc and eventually it took me 2 days and several attempts to open it  . Not only that, once the can cover was opened by me, i was confused if the if the toy would jump out of the can or even if it was real or fake. Call me stupid but the fur felt really real. Finally i was able to take out the toy and found it to be so extra cute (why do they eat them  - he he). Jumpy even has a pouch where my fingers rest when they feel cold  :P .

Well Mary, thanks once again for the lovely gifts and letters. You made an ordinary day, a special one for me.
