#qotd❤️ Have you ever received Inland Letters?
This COVER is amazing & very close to my heart. It brought back beautiful memories of my communication with my grandpa in the USA.
Email wasn’t that common in those days, & we had so much to share, so we sent each other long long letters, not leaving even a tiny spec of space empty.
Now that he is no more, they form a precious part of my remembrance of him.
Also he had an amazing stamp collection, which he gave me, along with few picture postcards, when he left India.
___________

The entire book was an ENJOYABLE, EMOTIONAL, at times- a FUNNY ride, sometimes an unsolved puzzle 里& at times, clear like rain water.
The end, was FABULOUS, to say the least.
