An open letter to my sister on her graduation

Dear Tiny, I seriously don’t know how should I start writing this letter to you. Should I start off by an inspiring quote, should I be cheesy? Should I start off by,”When I was your age?” I can’t really find the perfect words to make you believe how much this means to me. You are not only a graduate but the best one to graduate in that academic year (itne awards joh milley hain tumko) There are a few things that I have already told you and there are quite a few that I want to tell you… Here goes my first blog post,only and only dedicated to you in the form of my first listicle post.  1.

It has made me a monster craving for happiness and peace.” She lit her cigarette and took a puff.  “This transition won’t lead to happiness.” She had by nature what she herself called a ‘vulnerable temper and impetuous moods.’ While blowing the smoke away she said, “We forbade ourselves to even discuss our impetuous actions for fear of disturbing, so all we could do is cross our fingers and pray.”
