Priyanka Chopra

Hey Shweta,
How have you been? I know this has been long awaited from me and I am so so sorry for being such a jerk and not being in touch for four years now. But this obviously doesn’t mean that you aren’t at fault. In these four years everything in my life has changed. Umm… well almost everything… I am obviously not the Priyanka that you used to know in school. Oh and if I have startled you by that then don’t worry I have not changed that much also… ;) I hope you are not imagining something outwardly weird right now?
Oh do you know that I am in Mumbai now?
Ah well yes, here I am, in Mumbai. Oh I know… I know what would be coming to your mind now, yes! I did want to go back to Delhi but then I guess Mumbai was pre-destined for me. And to be honest I do not regret it too. Coming to this city was almost the best thing that could have happened to me, I joined Sophia College, undertook Bachelor of Mass Media obviously you know by now I have graduated from there as well… I worked for a year… I think I forgot to mention, I was working as a writer and reviewer with Gurukul Online Learning Solutions, in their Corp Comm division.
And… am now back to Sophia College again doing my PG in Social Communication Media. Hmmm… well there are too many things, little knick knacks here and there that I have to tell you. In between these four years that I have spent all by myself. Oh I forgot to mention that in between my graduation I was a freelance writer with ‘The Telegraph’. Oh!! and does that ring a bell for you? Remember how badly I wanted to be a journalist with The Telegraph newspaper and I’d contested for that Telegraph school reporter as well. And much to my dismay I did not get through… Sigh… Sigh!! How much I’d cried when I didn’t get through and cursed the chic from that Sacred Heart Convent who’d won it. Oh I am nostalgic now. Anyways, bottom line… I really miss those days. Oh n yeah I tried my hand at Corp Comm too, with Tata Steel and it turned out to be funnn :D, not as tedious as I’d thought it would be.
Now coming back to me being in Mumbai… well I have finally made some really close friends out here. Yeah! Just like school, a small close-knit group of my own ;). Caring! Considerate! Compassionate …!! These four years here has not only taught me to be independent but hell lot of other things as well. Nevertheless I have made my own little halo out here but I swear I miss home really badly. Mum’s food and those nakhra’s that I used to do for food went all for a toss when I’d gone home this time. Life has completely changed now. I think I have seen it all, being broke, feeling pathetic, crying my heart out, feeling lonely, feeling exuberant, loving the independence, hating to go back home and being alone… too many emotions combined together.
Thought I must admit that the sense of responsibility has now been hovering over me. And it is a bit scary too… the sense of growing up and not being a kid has suddenly struck me hard. Like Hello!! Ding Dong!! Suddenly the change from being an introvert school kid to an extrovert college student and then entering the domain of earning your own money… and Oh Not to mention the pleasure of splurging the first salary completely and then calling for money from home again… LOL!!
There is so much to tell you and I am falling short of space… he he he… to look back on these things and updating you on them is making me feel melancholic. And now since I have taken the initiative to get back to you (after these four years, sorry)… BUT NOW I EXPECT YOU TO REPLY…! I BETTER GET IT.

Very sketchy! For all that you have done in the last four years, this letter hardly does justice. Where are all the juicy details? - Ajay
