Respected citizens of India, as promised in my previous editorials, I will continue to tell you about my love story. So, let me tell you about some unexpected events that moved me so deeply that I couldn’t sleep for a few nights.
The unexpected events occurred because the lady of my heart sent me a message at 6 a.m., as she does every morning, with a good morning message and a beautiful Bhakthi song of Bholenath, and in her 6 a.m. message, she requested that I join her and her parents on a 15-day trip to Europe, as her parents wanted to meet me and learn more about me.
Upon receiving her request to accompany her and her parents on the trip to Europe, I was left speechless for a few moments. In that moment, I found myself at a loss for words, uncertain about how to express my thoughts and what should remain unspoken. And believe me, I couldn’t express that I couldn’t accompany her and her parents because it has always been a childhood dream of mine. Whenever I take my first international trip for vacation, it should be with the lady of my heart, the one I love more than anything, and with whom I want to spend the rest of my life, and my first international trip would be with her, no matter what.
After 30 minutes, I sent her a message saying, Dear lady of my heart. Can I say something to you? Then she told me, “Yes, please, sweetheart, you can say something.” After that, I asked her, “Will you be upset at me if I can’t join you and your parents this time? I promise that I will definitely join you and your parents next time, no matter what.” So, could you tell your parents that Sanjeeb can’t come with us because he has work that needs to be done?
Then she told me that I can do that since my dad loves me more than anything, and so he will do what I ask him to do for my smile. Then I expressed my gratitude with plenty of red love heart emojis and told her that it was one of my childhood dreams to go on my first international trip with the lady of my heart, and that it would be you, dear lady of my heart. So, I’d like to go with you on my first international trip, so it’ll be the best trip for both of us. After hearing from me, she blushed and said, “Thank you so much, sweetheart.”
During our conversation, she was absolutely radiant, and I could see it in her eyes and on her lips in that moment. And, whenever she is in a pleasant mood, she always asks me for a promise. This time, she asked me to attend her annual festival, the Ganesh Chaturthi Puja, which is scheduled for August 27, 2025. Since I love to perform puja twice a day, and for both of our happiness, I agreed to attend the Ganesh Chaturthi Puja at her home.
As I am Hindu, our festival begins with Ganesh Chaturthi each year, and I also start good things with Ganesh Puja. I told her that Ganesh Chaturthi would be the best day for both of us to meet since we have yet to meet in person. Then she immediately agreed with me, saying that Ganesh Chaturthi is the best time to meet someone you love more than your life.
As I have mentioned several times, we have yet to meet in person since we began our phone conversations. However, despite not having met face-to-face, our connection is growing stronger each day. I’d like to share one more positive aspect about her: she always takes the initiative to strengthen our relationship before I do.
So what she did after reaching Italy, and before reaching Italy, and when you all know about them, after knowing you would be jealous of me, trust me.
Someone correctly stated that when a girl is truly in love with a boy, she will always behave like a baby girl. Believe me, she sometimes acts like a baby girl. As part of her cutesy act, she started sending pictures from her home to the airport while flying to Milan from New Delhi. She sent me the first picture when she was on her way to the airport, then the second when she arrived, and finally the third when she was inside the Emirates business class plane, continually asking for my thoughts and constantly asking for my thoughts and asking, “Are you missing me?” I told her that I was missing you a lot.
However, she did it on purpose to make me feel as if I were travelling with her, as she mentioned after arriving in Italy. She also mentioned that I do all these little things for you because my mother once told me that one day, a man will come into your life and treat you like a princess.
She mentioned during our video call that my mom’s words came true, as you always treat me like a princess, and I genuinely feel that way because you consistently treat me like a princess.
She further told me that whenever I recall my mother’s words, I always smile, as I had also promised her that no matter what, I would always smile.
And I forgot to tell you that the lady of my heart lost her mother five years ago, and whenever she talks to me about her mother and remembers her good things, her eyes always well up with tears, and when I see her face, mine do as well.
After arriving in Italy, she sent me numerous pictures of herself enjoying water taxis, trying different foods, and shopping. She even sent a picture of the gifts she bought for me. As I mentioned to her before, Italian boys have a great sense of style because of their outfits. And she still is in Italy, and she will visit two more countries of Europe, which I am not revealing right now, but I will share them with you soon.
So, friends and well-wishers, I am pausing my love story here, but I’ll continue to share it in the next edition of National Political Mirror, and I apologise to everyone for not revealing her name right now, as she has requested that I keep it confidential for now.
Therefore, it is time to inform you all about the current edition of the National Political Mirror, its cover page, and what I have written on the cover story, as well as other stuff that I have included in this edition.
So, ladies and gentlemen, first, let’s talk about the cover page. For this edition, I tried to do something different by putting a picture of Rahul Gandhi from June 4, 2024, on the cover. The cover story focusses on Rahul Gandhi’s performance as India’s opposition leader over the past year, from June 2024 to June 2025. I have included all the points regarding his actions as India’s opposition leader and his contributions from June 2024 to June 2025 in the story. Additionally, I have incorporated some other points and included pictures of his work with captions to ensure that readers can understand easily.
Finally, I have included the Congress party’s 2024 Lok Sabha results, and I believe that after you see the cover page, cover story, and other content in this edition, many political enthusiasts who enjoy reading political stories will appreciate my National Political Mirror and my efforts, as they always do. Finally, I would like to state that I will continue to write exceptional editorials and the best political stories and design the most outstanding cover pages that are superior to those of the world’s most prestigious weekly magazine based in the United States of America (USA)—TIME.
This editorial was originally published in the July 22 print edition of the National Political Mirror.
