October 17. 2am. “Happy Diwali, Button. I know it’s very late and you must be asleep.

It’s also too noisy so the family decided to shut all the windows and watch movies back to back. We watched 3 but the one that took the cake was The Reader starring Kate Winslet which is, perhaps, one of the best movies I’ve watched till date. She is marvelous to say the least. Ralph Fiennes and another actor whose name I forget—were also good. The movie was simply mind-blowing.”

“Happy Diwali. You should also go to bed now as it is rather late. Give me double the number of hugs tomorrow and talk to me a little more. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight, Button.”
