My dearest Alia,
In true Tagore style, I had to add a doze of drama and bollywood, to everything that I do, even to this most beautiful moment of asking you for something.
I promise you my baby, that I will spend the rest of my life annoying you (like only I can), loving you like you've never known love before, to fight with you so much that you want to throw something at me (oh you know that feeling so well, don't you?) and at the same time I promise to give you a world wherein you would never want to be with anyone else but me. Because in that world, I know I will respect you, love you and give you my everything. I promise to make you my audience for who I shall write my every film, every verse and every thought. I have a wish, baby. To make you my proud wife, and a proud friend of mine. I promise to give our kids a great environment wherein they will know how to love (and tease and annoy) their mother, and yet respect her like they respect nobody else.
So my love, with all of this on offer, here I am getting down on my knee and asking you ‘Alia, will you marry me?’
Note To Alia: Please say yes, coz I need you and I love you. Nobody has looked after me the way you do. Nobody has cared about me the way you do. Nobody takes me closer to my family the way you do. Nobody has the patience with me, the way you do. So you see, I really want to marry you, for me, so that I can walk along the path with you, towards being the good person I hope to become, while helping you go where you want to be.
