Although due to the lockdown you were not able to celebrate it at your university with your classmates and the home garden had to suffice... Seems like yesterday that we were moving you into your dorm room as a freshman... Wait, strike that. Not "we", "I"!! (You always managed to make Mamu do the heavy lifting). God bless you! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the world.”

Go forth and conquer x (I’m not crying you’re crying).” (Also Read: Sunny Leone Reveals That She Got Inspired By Her 4-Year-Old Daughter, Nisha To Paint A Masterpiece)
