‘Gifts? Fish? Have you lost it?’ Purva asked, laughing.
‘They are not from me,’ Vikram said.
‘Then?’
Without another word, Vikram handed him the little note I had written.
Purva,
The fish are a gift from Pitajee and Anu (not from me, so please keep them). The note is just to tell you the names of the fish. They do not respond to names other than the ones we have kept and the names have to be taken in a particular order. First the name of fish number one followed by the name of fish number two. Always together and always in that order.
Without further ado, here are the names –
Fish number two: Kasturi.
Fish number one: Silly.
Say the names together and in the correct order.
Love,
Kasturi
Vikram tells me that Purva stared first at the fish swimming gleefully in the clear waters and then at the letter.
He tried very hard not to, but, a few seconds later, he burst out laughing.
Strike one.
*Smug look*
Now for strike two.

11 August 2013, 9.00 a.m.
Letter of the day – D.
Flavour of the day – Banana.
Number of people receiving the cake – twenty-five. (Dear lord!)
Today is the day when we set part two of ‘Mission (Let’s make it ) Possible’ into motion and, needless to say, the stress levels are sky-rocketing. I had spent countless nights awake and in deep thought, trying to come up with something suitable for today, without much success. Without any solution in sight, I was very close to giving up when, one day, it took me one glance at a newspaper Anu was going through to slap the table and shout ‘I’ve got it!’ in sheer jubilation.
It remains to be seen whether my plan is half as good as I hope it is.
3.00 p.m.
Restless.
4.00 p.m.
Very restless.
6.00 p.m.
Purva should be home anytime soon. I hope Vikram can somehow put that paper in front of him.
