Dearest Shreyans,
Happy Birthday! Another year, another birthday, and yet again, I’m sitting here missing you like crazy instead of celebrating with you the way we should be—laughing, singing, sipping wine, getting lost in ghazals, and indulging in some much-needed retail therapy.
It truly hurts that I couldn’t meet you, and believe me, I regret it more than you know. There’s an emptiness in my heart today because birthdays are meant to be spent with the people who make life brighter—and you, my dear friend, have been nothing but a warm glow in my life.
I miss those long, beautiful evenings when we sat with our wine, sharing our deepest thoughts and our silliest jokes. I miss how we’d get carried away shopping, convincing each other that we needed things we absolutely didn’t. And oh, how can I forget your “culinary experiments”? You, my dear chef extraordinaire (not!), have always managed to turn the simplest dish into a one-of-a-kind creation—one that only a true friend would dare to eat! But, joke aside, I miss your warmth, your kindness, and the way you love so effortlessly.
You’ve been my safe space, my partner-in-crime, and my constant source of laughter. No matter how far life takes us or how busy we get, our bond remains as special as ever. So today, on your birthday, I just want you to know how much you mean to me and how much I wish I was there to celebrate you in person.
I hope your day is filled with everything you love (minus your own cooking, please!). I love you endlessly, my darling friend. Happy, happy birthday!🎈🎈🎈
