An Exile’s life is no life- A letter to his country.

My Love,

It’s been a long time since I left my country, and now it feels like an eternity; I am terribly longing to see you. I have no doubt you are helping your sister and family make arrangements. I know talking is difficult due to the time difference, but it has been said in poetry that love is indifferent to distance. And I love you the same amount in your absence. I also wanted to share some good news and make you happy: I am promoted at my job and now I can send some money to Baba so he can pay his loan.
