    Hi Nandini,

    I read your piece on why you don't like attending weddings: 'Your wedding, my funeral' in the Friday Times (weekly published in Lahore, Pakistan) and looked you up because I just loved the way you write – the piece rings a lot of bells, is very funny and very well and honestly written…..it's so refreshing to read some honest and intelligent writing and also re-assuring to know there are others out there who think like I do……

    I look forward to reading more from you.

    All the best,

    Zehra.
