Dear DS,

I missed you yesterday because I had to go out of town for urgent personal work. It seems you were in town to see a bridegroom for your sister, Saroja.

I consider Saroja a lucky girl for Ranga to be her husband. I have no words to describe Ranga. He is a real soldier, and I can quote several examples to prove my point. He is a man of steel. He is a daredevil and always likes to challenge himself. He is a real soldier, and I can quote several examples to prove my point.

I am thrilled to know a youngster who understands the purpose of life. Ranga is a role model for human behaviour. He is kind and caring. He would always volunteer for tasks nobody would volunteer to help others. People matter to him, especially family and friends. He always follows social rules in consideration of others and has a great sense of humour. He has a steady and adaptable attitude. But he also knows how to have a good time and embraces his life entirely. He has an insatiable passion for adventure.

Ranga does not have any bad habits, I can think. He occasionally plays with the snuff from his grandfather’s engraved snuff box. He has a little German widget to transfer the snuff into his nose instantly. You must see the operation first-hand to believe. I have witnessed Ranga using the snuff only when he has a cigarette in his mouth. He is very picky when it comes to smoking. He has a unique way of transferring the cigarette to his mouth and lighting the same. Ranga is elegant while choosing cigarette brands. He is fond of a Japanese brand of cigarettes -The Golden Bat. I have also seen him occasionally with a Cuban cigar.

A bird whispered that Ranga has not hesitated to try CBDs occasionally. I must tell you — Ranga smokes a cigarette or a cigar when his friends are around and when they force him to drink a glass of single malt. He loves the whiskey neat without water or soda. Ranga is unstoppable and enjoys the company of friends till the wee hours; Ranga loves these get-togethers and hosts them over the weekends. He also finds time to play one or two rummy games before he starts dancing in the company of his friends.

Ranga has a great circle of friends willing to spare all the time when needed. Jane is one of them and is the cynosure of all eyes. Their friendship is as thick as blood. Ranga is always with Jane when she is around and takes care of her during these get-togethers; both are great pairs to watch. I have also noticed that Ranga goes beserk when Jane is around. I count on my fingers such energetic personalities as Ranga whom I know.

It takes years to find a life partner, and Saroja is lucky. Though Saroja and Ranga come from different cultural backgrounds, they could hold each other’s hand and share their future as husband and wife. For a happy marriage, both husband and wife have to make compromises; they have to stand for each other when necessary and love each other. God makes such miracles, which is why I say marriages happen in heaven.

Trusting your partner without knowing about him and supporting him even without asking for it is a big thing. Saroja would be lucky to marry a well-rounded character like Ranga. I am sure she had a good chat with him when she met him.

Please do get in touch with me if you need any additional details.

Best Wishes,

Most affectionately,

Subbu
