By: Aalokitaa Basu Dearest Holden, For longer than I can remember, nothing has ever gotten my brain ticking like true crime. I thought I’d watched it and (second hand) experienced it all. Every crime drama, film or documentary would be put on with the same sense of passivity, I wasn’t really expecting much edge- of-the-seat…

A letter to Ved, Tamasha
By: Nikita Escrader October 28th, 2019 Dear Ved, The first time I saw you in Tamasha, you stole my heart away. I remember I was mesmerized by Don, his ease, his persona, his charm. I could relate with Tara, I understood why she fell head over heels for you. And then the mask came off, I saw you,…
A Letter to Kabir Dewan, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
By: Mehaak Pasricha Dear Kabir, I feel you are the most underrated character in the whole film. The movie starts with you and ends with you yet you are somehow the least discussed person. When we think about the whole film the first thoughts that come to our mind are about Arjun who throughout the…
A Letter to Pam Beesly, The Office
By: Dhwani Jaisingh Dear Pam, I was drawn to you as I watched you grow, it was your compassion and receptive nature that made Jim as well as me fall in love with the person that you are. You began as a receptionist with a low self-esteem years ago. Believing that a receptionist’s work is…
A Letter to Leslie Knope, Parks and Recreation
By: Kriti Bhagat Dearest Mrs. Leslie Knope, I’m sure you get this very often, but you are the literal personification of a ray of sunshine. During my most trying times, I have always thought to myself, “What would Leslie Knope do?” (Most probably say something about waffles, I guess) I envy your optimism and intrinsic…
A Letter to Arthur Fleck, Joker
By: Rhea Raut October 20th, 2019 Dear Arthur Fleck, We live in a world where civilized methods have no power or value anymore. A cruel thing to say, but it is true. When I first caught the glance of you, when a tear shed down your left eye as you were using your fingers to…
A Letter to Jake Peralta, Brooklyn Nine Nine
By: Vanshika Luthra Dear Jake Peralta, I was asked to write this letter as a task, but the truth is, this isn’t a task at all. I have been a champion Netflix watcher since about 4 years now, and I’ll be honest here, there were a lot of characters who left an impression, but you…
A Letter to Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock (BBC)
By: Shreya Ghosh October 18, 2019 Dear Sherlock, I know you hate this sort of thing, but allow me just one cliché: I’m a big fan of yours. I’m just one of those ordinary-minded people you are ironically envious of. When I first met you, I had no idea of what I was getting myself…
A Letter to Bellamy Blake, The 100
By: Samantha Roy October 9, 2019 Dearest Bellamy Blake, I’ve never written a love letter before, not even those 4th grade-do you like me or not-ones you gave to the cute kid sitting across your table. That said I’m glad that my first love letter is to you as I can’t think of anyone more…
Satyajit Ray
By: Srishti Mittal It is rightly said that in art, politics and history, each generation finds its own heroes, but, there are few who through their momentous work assert a perpetual influence over mankind in a way that can never be replaced. Satyajit Ray, an Indian filmmaker, author, music composer and graphic artist is one…
