SHE REPLIED TO MY FAN-MAIL!

 Subject : We’ll move to India forever…

 

Ms. Taylor Swift

 

How much do you love India, and how much this ‘Indian Boy’ loves you is directly proportional ;)

 

Tay, where should i begin with, wait.. leave everything.. i just wanna say that since you were born on the 13th and i being ‘13 yrs old’ when started listening to your songs and everything changed!

 

Your songs inspire me, your lyrics move me, and your persona makes me feel stronger and stronger by the coming days with its obstacles, when i look upto you and get motivated to face each and everyday…

 

I still remember, i was 13, and my cousin was in college, I accidentally played the song ‘love story’ o her cell, and since then, i have been loving you!

 

I just hope you achieve more and more milestones in the industry and in your life as well overcoming the baddest days and driving inspiration in us.

 

Tay, we Indian fans really look upto you and I personally wish that one day you do come to india on tour and i would be happy to be your host and take you out to Indian restaurants and historic places where i could be your guide or your friend or your little brother- you decide; but I really wanna be your friend someday; clearly i love you the most and “You are the BEST”!

 

Give my love to the cats,

Kunal Grover (Delhi, India)

 

 

2 Months later …

 

“Aww, Kunal, that’s so sweet of you. Thanks for your love. I really would be coming to India. How about you meet me at the Airport on the 7^th of the next month? I have some spare time the following month and was even thinking about travelling, so why not India? Mh flight will land around 11 am according to your time zone. Lets catch up, ooh and the cats are doing fine. See you Kunal.”

 

 

The 7^th..

 

(At the airport)

 

I was standing and waiting for her to come. I did all the necessary arrangements and was eager and nervous at the same time to meet her! She is the love of my life and no emotion could surpass this one. It was 11.10 am and I saw her flawlessly picking up her suitcase from the conveyer belt and walking towards me as I was holding a sign saying “Ms. Swift”.

 

She gives me a hug and passes on her love for me for being her fan, her admirer and waiting for her. She is so sweet with her fans. I was literally crying out meeting her and she gave me an air kiss on my cheeks. We chatted for a bit and she said “Tell me everything about India and yourself”. We chatted for a hour and a half while in the cab reaching my home. We talked about everything from food to clothes, from culture to beliefs, everything and she was already in love with this nation.

 

She soon realised that I was taking her home and she said “you don’t have to do this, I will be fine at a hotel, drop me at any good hotel and we’ll catch up in the evening “ I couldn’t let her stay in the hotel, what kind of host would I be? I said to her not to worry and that every arrangement has been done and she will enjoy her stay living among an Indian household and understand the culture better, to which she couldn’t refuse.

 

I gave her the guest room and made sure she was comfortable. My mom made her a typical Indian lunch – Stuffed Rotis, Eggplants, Lady fingers and Chicken Biryani. My mom too loves Tay and welcomed her with her heart. She was amazed to see so much of options of food on the table, and she really found it tasty and thanked my mom. After that, she asked to take some rest in her room as she was tired with the 12- hour flight and I happily said, “Tay, noone would disturb you”. She asked to wake her up in the evening when I will take her for a stroll in the city.

 

I tried not to wake her up, not knowing that which time would be suitable for me to wake her up! I mean she was tired and all, when shall I wake her up, I don’t know! Soon, hours and hours passed and I d even enter her room. How could i? But when it was around 2300 hrs and even my mom slept early, I couldn’t wait and make her mad that why didn’t I wake her up? I mean at 2300 hours, I could take her the the lively center of the city where restaurants and bars are open for the night and all the high class crowds are strolling here and there…! But I thought that is it the decent time to wake her? But if I don’t, I would be embarrassed that why didn’t I wake her up and wasted her day!!

 

I enter her room to wake her. To this day, I am not sure what happened; something was very strange about the moment when I entered the room, which to this day, I couldn’t figure out what and how? But eventually, she didn’t wake up and I went to sleep in my bedroom. 

 

In the morning, I see that she already had left and left a note on the night stand saying

 

 “I guess, I wont move to India forever… thanks for everything you could do,  and thank your mom too … take care.”

 

To this day, I don’t have her address, or phone number to get back to her…

I guess, it had all ended… !
