Dear Akhtar Sahab, Heartiest congratulations for the poem of the day. Really happy to see it on this honourable page. But i would rather you receive a letter from Heaven rather than. You deserve fairies of all colours visiting you with their golden magical wings. They should speak the language of universal love, irrespective of where they come from or belong. They should see your pure soul and bless you with good luck.
