It was a boring November evening. I had just been egged on by my friend to start my own page on instagram. She thought my poetry and stories should reach people. Well, that's not what I thought at least, but I gave in.

I had just posted few quotes and two liners in the last one month and was just looking at the feedback when my phone gave out that familiar tone.... that comes with a message.

It wasn't the whatsapp icon... but the instagram one. Wait.. who would ping me on insta? I was curious and checked immediately.

It was a " Hello". I couldn't make much of the profile picture or the name. Who could it be?

Maybe someone who liked my writing, I thought. I normally don't make conversation with strangers, but this drew me.

" Hi" I replied.

This is how one of the most beautiful things in my life began. A direct message... a DM.
