It is just one month for my wedding and the preparations are in full swing. My mum and dad are busy and the mission on priority is inviting people. They are using media like WhatsApp and email for inviting people who are not Pune or India. Yup, they are tech savvy.
They sent few invitation cards via post. One of them was for Colonel Varun Mathur and his family including his mother Srimati Sumati Mathur. My father posted that invitation card along with few other and forgot about it. He had talked to them few days ago for getting their postal address. They were dad's neighbours for a long time and our families were having a really good bonding .
Yesterday, we received a letter from Sumati aunty for dad via military courier service.
We just opened the letter and we were overwhelmed with the love that the letter contained. Yes, it was full of love. Sumati aunty must be around eighty three years old. I remember her treating us with awesome Pattice when we visited their Delhi home. She is a very affectionate lady.
The letter went through all memories of the times when dad and Varun uncle were together and their medical college days. It also had memories of Garima who is Sumati Aunty's granddaughter. In her letter aunty also said that they won't be able to attend my wedding but they will celebrate my wedding with a lavish dinner on that day. She liked the invitation card and expressed her emotions about the card in a very apt manner. We became nostalgic after reading the letter.
I realised one thing yesterday. WhatsApp or any other social media or email cannot convey the emotions that a hand written letter can convey. It is magical. I was so happy that I told everyone I met about the letter.
I would like to say thank you Sumati aunty for the magical letter and we will write you a letter for sure. I will remember this for lifetime. I am so happy that my marriage is bringing these small but very precious and happy moments in my life. I realized that how much people love me. These are the things which make your life worth living.. :-)
