Happy birthday, Punnya · October 29
Happy birthday,
Punnya.
I went through our photos to make this for you. The balcony, the selfies, that day by the lake. I kept stopping to look at them. So this is your birthday present — a few things I don’t want us to forget.
Let’s look back ↓29

OCT ♡
Had to put this one here.
29 October · For Punnya · From me
Before the photos
I could have sent
a birthday text.
But then I’d miss the chance to put our photos on a whole website and make you look at them with me.
Choosing the photos.
Apparently I wanted to put all of them here.
Take your time.
Open the photos. Read the note. This is meant to take longer than a birthday message.
Things I’d say to you
While you’re here…
Pick one.
Yes, I added butterflies
You know why
these are here.
Tap it. I got a bit carried away.
Couldn’t make your page without them.
Some photos I wanted to keep here
Look at us.
I’m starting with the balcony. You know exactly why.
THE FIRST MEETING
That balcony.
This is where I first met you. Out of all the photos here, this one needed to come first.
THE SELFIES
Three versions of us.
One photo clearly wasn’t enough. I’m glad we kept all three.
ANOTHER SELFIE
Keeping this one too.
Not every photo needs a big story. Sometimes I just want a picture with you.
THEN, THE LAKE
That day by the water.
I’m glad we have a photo of this. I’d like another day like it with you.
SAVED THIS ONE
You, in that saree.
I had to include this photo. Look at you.
ANOTHER ONE OF YOU
Yes, another photo.
You can probably tell I had trouble narrowing these down.
A SMALL DETAIL
The pink flower.
Keeping this here alongside the photos of us.
ONE MORE
This one stays.
I know I’ve already used this photo at the top. I like it enough to keep it here too.
We need to take more photos together. That’s all I’m saying.
I made a few extras
For the scrapbook.
Yes, a proper one. The website version doesn’t count.
Okay, the birthday part
Something I wanted
to tell you.
This bit is for you to read slowly.
Punnya,
Happy birthday. I was looking at that balcony photo again while making this. That’s where I first met you. It feels strange, in a good way, to have a photo of the place where it all started.
And then there are these photos of us together. I like having them. I like that we have things to look back on, and that you’re the person I get to look back with.
I hope you have a really good birthday. I want to be there for the next one too, and for plenty of days in between that aren’t special occasions. I love you. Happy birthday, butterfly.
Love you. ♡
Before you go
You still have
to make a wish.
A website cake counts. I’ve decided.
