Happy 24th, my love. I wanted to buy you everything on your wishlist (and honestly, I'm still working on it), but some things can't be gift-wrapped. So I built you this little corner of the internet instead, because you deserve something that no store sells: something made only for you.
Thank you for four whole years of laughter, of spontaneous plans, of you turning ordinary Tuesdays into occasions. You walk into a room and the room upgrades. You love people loudly and beautifully. And somehow, luckiest of all, you love me.
I'll never forget our study days, just six months back: staying together through deadlines and long nights, and your Hyderabadi biryani that made me fall for you even harder. And it isn't just the good days: when things go wrong, when everything looks dark, you never step away. You stay, you hold on, you take care of me like it's your life's quiet mission. Nobody has ever loved me the way you do.
This year, I wish you everything you secretly pray for and everything you loudly manifest. Champagne mornings, soft evenings, zero bad hair days, and a boyfriend who spoils you rotten. (That last one is handled.)
You are, and will always be, the most luxurious thing in my life. Four years down, and I'd still choose you in every lifetime.
P.S. Coco sent his contribution too: two barks and one very determined bite. Roughly translated: "happy birthday, favourite human."
one for every year of you · not for resale

Ahem. Woof. It's me, Coco. 🎀
I chewed one (1) slipper this morning, in your honour. You're welcome.
Happy birthday to the only human allowed to fluff my curls.
You're my favourite. Don't tell Dad.

Consider it handled. I know people.
Officially 24, and the most beautiful you've ever been… until tomorrow.
Happy 24th, Nithya
Here's to year twenty-four: more us, more Coco chaos, more of everything you love. May it be dipped in gold and impossibly kind to you. You'll always be my favourite notification, my best decision, and my home.
And to the wonderful people who raised her and love her: you made the most extraordinary person I know. I promise to love her loudly, gently, and for good.
