Dear Aileen,

The first face of PEC that I ever saw in real life :D

There are many people who build organizations but you possess the art of building people. The amount of attention you pay to an individuals' growth is commendable. The way you lead, the amount of time you spend on mentoring us, knowing us individually has helped us grow so quickly. I am so grateful to have gotten a chance to directly work with you on projects. I hope to replicate these traits once I take up such a leadership position.
You are one of the most amazing human being that I have met and an amazing friend to have. Every interaction with you is easy on the heart, almost like a balm conversation :)

Lots of love,
Your fangirl

Dear Manu,

I have enjoyed all the conversations we have had. I will never forget that my first & hopefully last paranormal activity took place at your house :D

I feel grateful to have gotten a chance to spend some time with you. The conversations have really helped me reflect & grow as a person. Thank you for noticing the fire and fuel in me :P and also helping me see it & understand how to channel it. Thanks for finding time to talk to me whenever I required it and I hope in future also you continue to do the same.

You are my lucky charm. Every time I talk to you I feel I am  one step closer to realising my larger vision. So thank you for always asking the right questions and nudging me to do something about how I feel.
Whatever you do turns out to be great, the process might be messy and chaotic but the end outcome is beautiful. Remember that Pollock's art that you made :P

I wish you all the best. May be one day I will become your chief of staff with enough skills & mindset :D
I hope Sanjhi Sikhiya grows in multifold in next 3 years so that you start thinking about possibilities beyond Punjab for starters it's neighboring states :P
I wonder what they are!

Here's to creating lot of hopes, courage & possibilities in our life and others lives in our own ways :)

Lots of love,
Your future CoS

What should I say!!
Beginning this message in your own style -
You had me at <Enter long descriptive anecdotes>

You have taught me how to be available for your kids even from far far away. I really admire how you are able to find time to connect with them weekly not just to catch up but to help them have a better and secure future. You inspire me to do that for my kids.

I will miss your stories, may be not! :P

You have been my favorite flatmate and roommate. Thanks for making Ivory livable and breathable for me.  I would not have thought of coming back to this space had it not been for you. So thanks for finding 100 excuses to not move out of Ivory. Mattaur is one of my favorite places to come back to because of you. I will miss my daily dose of momos & gyaan.
Thanks for taking care of me. Getting pissed off at me like a friend would do, listening to me and in the end charging me for all these services. I am not keeping tabs anymore.

Something I like the most about you is since day 1 you treated me as equal. I didn't notice the gender gap, age gap, knowledge gap etc. etc. and to top it all the best thing is you are always open to taking feedback on this - on how your actions made me feel. I felt respected & heard as a woman colleague so thank you for being able to create that safe space for me. In today's world, its a strength & an achievement so live by it :)

Lots of love,
Your annoying fraaand

Dear Ishq-preeto,

I would like to say thank you for opening my eyes to the idea that dreams can be all rosy but the reality might be completely different and sometimes harsh too. One of the greatest life lessons came after living with you so thanks for that.
I will miss our bhangra/jagrata sessions and that sudden urge to buy things from Big Bazar amidst COVID lockdown.

I wish you all the best for your future and hope you find the happiness that you seek.

Lots of Ishq,
Sakshi

Dear Sidhartha,

I would like to use this platform to ask you why do you want to come across as a cold-hearted man when actually you aren't? :P

I think at times I have seen the other side of yours and I really wished I would have seen enough of it. Like the times I was leaving Ivory I remember you were the only one who bothered to care and ask me why I was leaving, what went wrong. I think at that time somebody giving a shit about mental health was enough :)
The conversations we had about mental health, our patterns. Thanks for opening up and helping me open up.
I liked how every time you meet the team or e-meet us you say Hi with so much of enthusiasm. It always cheered me up. :)

You are super-duper intelligent & I like how you bring depth to all the work that you do. Keep believing in yourself like you do!!  And I wish Samarthya grows to newer heights.

My two cents for you, you can take it or leave it, I believe sometimes you undersell the amazing work that you do or communicate with less conviction the ideas that you have! I believe that you bring amazing perspectives to the table. You are good at questioning and probing others to think about the larger picture of the idea. So hire a liasioning person who can oversell your idea without questioning the idea for a second :D

Lots of love,
Your soon to be Donor

Dear Shivani,

Aaah how to even type this letter without crying. The best thing to happen to me last year was you personally and professionally. And I will never take this friendship for granted. I can't write this letter logically because it is going to end with I love you after each sentence but let me try. YOU ARE MY PRECIOUS!!!!

Neither my words nor my actions can express my love and respect for you. I wish I had met you sooner. There are very few people in my life that I want to hold on to forever and you are one of them.

I think the day we went around crazily searching for siddhu's kothi in Amritsar for no reasons I knew we would be friends :D

I love creating stuff with you. I love experimenting /experiencing new things together with you. There have been multiple times where I have thought how would Shivani respond to this. What would be her approach? And I have gotten solutions to my problems.

I have enjoyed working with you the most. I think it broke heart when I was asked to move out from BM-DM program to SLDP program but we did make up for that by learning MMA together, doing art together & holding shamiyanas together :D

What I admire the most about you and something I wish to learn from you is the skill of networking that you possess. I mean at this age not only do you have a network of entrepreneurs, mentors, coaches but also the skill to maintain a continuous relationship with them. If only I could do that!!

Whenever people ask me what are your key takeaways from last year? How do I tell them that I am taking away an entire person with me. I believe apart from professional mentors, coaches you also need a professional friend you is sharing a similar professional journey as yours. Somebody who understands you, listens to you without always thinking about your growth. Like why do we have friends in life - for the similar reason somebody who can hear your life banter, with someone you can laugh & make fun of others, someone who understands your problems and somebody who is listening to you not because they are helping you to grow or become a better human being but because they appreciate you for who you are. I think you are that for me.

Lots of love,
<No Title can do justice>

Dear Sanjay,

We will definitely get to work together a lot but the thing I will miss the most is listening to the songs in your car and you explaining its lyrics to me. I was only familiar with the shor sharaba and meaningless Punjabi songs and then you introduced me to some amazing music. I will always be grateful for that.

Thanks for being there for me in tough times and helping me navigate through those situations. I really admire how gracefully and heroically you deal with all the crisis that comes your way personally or professionally. I wish you lot of strength and happiness.
Keep writing, keep singing!
See you soon!

Lots of love,
Joey ki Maasi

Dear Palkuuuu,

Okay, I am crying again! Where should I start?
'Please relocate to Bangalore so that we can again live together.' I will keep bugging you with this message until you do so :P

You are GOAT Palak! The OG ! The most funny woman! Best Roommate! I am a fan!

Every time I think of a memory with you I cannot stop myself from laughing out loud. God!! Kahan se laayi ho tum apni ye amazing dictionary. I only got to spend 3 months with you and I swear there hasn't been a single day that has gone without laughing, getting my cheeks & stomach hurt because of laughing too much. I will miss countless things about you. As I have told you before, Palak you are a star! You should either be on TV or become our next President. I am rooting for you.

I have had a great time working with you. You have been such a support in making this prototype happen. The content you design is so lajawaab !! I have never seen creativity and pace go hand in hand but you have that talent of producing first-class content within a day/second. And I hope to learn that from you :)
Plus there is a long list of things that I would like to learn from you like -
1.  How to be awesome?
2.  How to stay focused even when things are not going your way?
3.  How to make the best out of a messy situation?
4.  How to convince & liaison with people?

So come to Bangalore Pallu!!!

Lots of Love,
Your future roommate

Dear Sandhya,

Thank you for trusting with such 'heavy' responsibilities since day 1.  Thanks for always rooting for me & taking a stand for me even when others sounded doubtful.
I will always value this gesture of yours!
You are an amazing manager to have. I mean this word doesn't even suit you, for me you are my mentor, my friend and my colleague.
You  have created a fearless environment at work for your team and why do I use the words fearless because in last two years I have seen people struggling or hesitating to escalate things to their managers but I feel immensely comfortable sharing my personal life and professional life crisis with you. I know I can honestly tell you what I like, what I don't like and you would respect my opinion. I like how you are so genuine and authentic.

See you in an hour!!

Lots of love,
Sakshi
