Respected citizens of India, before I get into the latest issue of National Political Mirror, I would like to share more about my love story with her, as I promised in the previous editorial that I would recount it in this edition. Let me share some admirable qualities about her that I have recently discovered.
So let me tell you about some of her nice qualities, as I recently discovered that she is a huge follower of gods like Lord Shiva and Krishna since she believes deeply in Hinduism.
Another positive aspect about her is that she promotes Hindi rather than English, despite the fact that she has a strong command of English in both writing and speaking, and she speaks thousands of times better than I do.
She always prefers to chat with me in Hindi and speak with me in Hindi during audio calls. If I write any words in English or speak any words in English, she immediately asks me how many times I need to be told to write and speak in Hindi.
She explained that Hindi allows you to express your feelings more effectively, whereas English allows you to understand the meaning of words but not truly feel them. For example, “I am in love with you” and “Mujhe Aapse Mohabbat Ho Gayi Hai” both express love, but the emotions are distinct.
Most importantly, she is very strict about Indian culture, household rules, and respect for elders and parents, and she always promotes Indian culture, but she wears Western clothes, and she admits that she wears Western clothes on occasion during business meetings because she is a business lady, and she wears Western clothes when meeting with foreign businesspeople.
The most admirable thing about her is that she respects me, uses words like “Aap” or “Sanjeeb Jee” for me whenever she addresses me, and has never hurt me with her words since we began talking.
She has continued to encourage me since learning about my struggles and the current financial crisis She once cried when she discovered that I ate Basi Roti (leftover roti) with salt, mustard oil, and yellow chilli.
Then I told her that I am Bihari and many Biharis eat Basi Roti with salt, mustard oil, and yellow chilli for breakfast. But she doesn’t agree with my explanation.
Then she told me I’d send you breakfast every morning. Initially, she did not agree with me when I told her, “Thank you so much for showing your concern and love for me, but please allow me to do my own thing because I am able to make my own breakfast for myself,” but she was not ready to listen and continued to say, “You are lying, and you would not make your own breakfast for yourself on time or eat on time.”
But after a few hours of discussion, she was ready with the following conditions: I must send a video after making breakfast, I cannot miss her morning video call during breakfast time, and we can sometimes do a video call during breakfast time to get a proper update on whether breakfast is being prepared on time or not.
But, seeing her growing love and concern for me and my health, I abruptly diverted her attention away from the kitchen and toward other topics, such as my current struggle and love. And you cannot believe that after hearing my struggle story, she suddenly promised me that she would always stand up for me no matter what.
I diverted her attention away from the kitchen and food to other topics so that we could talk about love. So that she would ask me a question I would love to answer.
And believe me, God heard my prayers because, after a few seconds, she asked what I liked about her, to which I replied, “Your eyes and heart.”She asked me, “When did you fall in love with me?” I told her when I first saw you.
As expected, she asked me how come you fell in love with me in just three days. I replied that a man can fall in love in 20 seconds when he finds the right woman for him, but a girl takes longer to fall in love with a man due to trust issues. And believe me, she agreed with my views.
Another of her best qualities is that every morning at around 7 a.m., she messages me a good morning before I message her, and she asks if I had my breakfast on time; if not, have your breakfast right away or your headache will begin. After breakfast, she messaged me again around 1 p.m. to remind me to eat my lunch on time, then around 5 p.m. to wish me a good evening and remind me to drink my favourite drink, black coffee, and before 9 p.m. to eat dinner.
I also learned about her many positive qualities, such as going to bed early and getting up early every day, as well as strictly adhering to her parents’ rules. When I asked her, “Aap Apne Matha or Pitha Sai Darthi Hai?” she replied that I follow my mother and father’s instructions because I respect them, not because I am afraid of them. And I expect everyone to show respect for their parents’ feelings.
So, as my parents always treated me like a princess, and as their daughter, it is my responsibility to follow their rules and always line up and respect them.
I am very proud of what I am doing for my parents because they have done so much for me, and I am who I am today because of them. So, today, they deserve everything from me. After hearing her noble thoughts for her parents, she won my heart and earned my eternal respect.
It seemed that day was god-created for her as she continued asking questions to me, and I was very happy with her as she continued asking questions. So she further asked me what my favourite colour is, and then I told her blue, like your eyes. Then she asked me if I believed in love that lasts forever. I told her that I did and that I believed in it with you.
Since it was her day, she asked if I dreamed about me, and I said yes, I dreamed about you every night and spoke to you in my dreams.
And, you can’t believe me when I say that each night I wake up in the middle of my sleep and check my WhatsApp to see if I might have received a message from you. But after a few seconds, I always realized that you were sleeping, as you are a very disciplined daughter of your father. I also realized it’s my dream and my love for you, as I am talking with you even while I am sleeping. That’s love for you, ma’am.
That’s why I refer to you as a father’s princess, and I believe that within your home, among all your relatives and friends, you are known as the father’s princess.
Then she asked whether I could dance, to which I replied that I couldn’t, but I would love to dance with you. She then asked what my favourite music was, and I told her that I listened to tunes that reminded me of you.
I was enjoying her questions as she grilled me as an investigative officer, then she asked me when we met, and I told her we hadn’t met in person yet, and she started smiling over the video call and promised that we would meet soon in person.
Then she asked me what I like to do in my spare time, and I told her that I spend time in the kitchen making delicious food and serving it to food lovers. Upon hearing that I spend time in the kitchen, she was absolutely thrilled, telling me that I only go there to grab chocolates and ice cream from the fridge, and I told her that I know you are your father’s princess.
I also told her that trust me, I would always treat you as a princess, not a queen, because a queen can change, but a princess is always a prince. When she heard this, she started blushing, and seeing her blush made me feel like I was on cloud nine. At that moment, I thanked God for sending their angel into my life.
So I would like to pause here to tell you about my love story, but I promise you that in the next edition of National Political Mirror, I will tell you more about my next editorial, as it’s time to tell you about other things, such as what I have added to this edition because it’s a pure political weekly magazine.
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s talk about the cover page and headline-“Madam Chief Minister”. of the most recent issue of National Political Mirror, which is the only weekly political magazine in the world.
First and foremost, I would like to share my experience with the cover page. I spent over 70 hours thinking about the cover page, but the headline idea came to me only six hours before finalising the design.
Interestingly, the idea for the map of Delhi, which appears on the back of Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s cover page, came from our chief designer, Vinoy, who is an excellent designer, so I would like to give him credit for it.
With Vinoy’s help, I always strived to make the National Political Mirror’s cover page thousands of times better than that of the world’s most respected weekly magazine, TIME.
And, I admit that each edition of National Political Mirror has been delayed because I write unique political stories and editorials with exceptional concepts after hours of reading and research. This is why city voters enjoy reading National Political Mirror, and I do everything on my own.
As for other publications, I don’t talk about them because I don’t think they deserve my opinion. Many editors are also owners, and assistant editors write the editorials that they pay for.
Other content in this edition includes one-page profiles of Congress leader Pawan Khera and BJP leader Tuhin Sinha. On the other hand, I’ve written about Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and her cabinet ministers, as well as the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. And believe me, if you go page by page, you will enjoy reading all of the content.
Before I conclude, I would like to state that I believe in creativity and original content. Trust me, I am working hard to provide the best political stories and cover pages so that readers can spend their time reading them. Many people have stopped reading newspapers, magazines, and news channels because they do not provide unique content.
As the founder and editor of National Political Mirror, I promise not to disappoint readers who enjoy reading political stories. So trust me, in the next issues, you will be able to read the best political articles and editorials, even better than TIME, the world’s most renowned weekly magazine.
This editorial was first published in the print edition of National Political Mirror on February 23, 2025.
