               Hi Dhruv,

                  This mail is in reply to the threat you had isuued when I left. Your words were,
               ‘You’re going to defeat me? You?’ Remember this moment . . .‘I’m going to
               fucking crush you, Aranya.’

                  Since that clearly hasn’t happened, I thought I would mail you and keep you
               updated on what has happened in the past one month and how badly you have
               failed in your pursuit.

                  I hope you’re in the worst of health. I sincerely imagine your insides to be
               rotting from the steroids you might have chosen to inject yourself with to
               maintain that useless body of yours.

                  Oh, I digress.
                  I’m not mailing to textually assault you. It’s to make you feel little and
               inconsequential as the subject line of this mail says.

                  As I sit on this really expensive recliner Raghuvir bought for me from Home
               Depot, I have to admit that at first I was sceptical whether moving on would be
               easy. But surprise, surprise! It was easier than the first calculus question I

               solved back in class nine.
                  Though what remains is this lingering feeling of not having exacted my
               revenge yet and hence this mail.

                  You can choose to stop reading this mail right now because what follows is a
               picture of my perfect life right now.
                  Raghuvir and I moved into two flats opposite to each other on the twenty-third

               floor of a building. I would add a celebratory wink after that sentence but you
