Happy Birthday
Nandita!

MAUSI! MAUSI! It's your birthday!! 🎉🎉

Mama said I have to say something nice, but I would have anyway because you're my FAVOURITE. You always give me extra snacks and you never tell me it's bedtime. That's what makes a great Mausi.

I drawed you a picture but it got a bit wet. But the love is still there. Happy Birthday! Can I have your cake? Just a little bit. — Omyra (your most excellent Bhanji) 🎨

Okay Didi. Real talk, between sisters.

You've been telling me what to do since before I could walk. You've been right an annoyingly high percentage of the time. I will not be giving you the exact number.

I wouldn't trade you for anything — except on certain Sundays, and even then I'd want you back by evening. You make this family louder, warmer, and considerably more opinionated. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy Birthday, Didi. This year is yours. 💕 — Ritika (your much cooler, slightly younger sister)

Nandita ji —

On behalf of myself, and no other Salis, I wish you a very Happy Birthday. You have, over the years, brought warmth, excellent cooking, and the kind of unsolicited feedback that I have come to deeply rely upon.

Your position at the top of the Sali Rankings remains uncontested, unaudited, and frankly — unchallenged. The trophy is in the mail. It's been in the mail for three years. It will arrive.

May this birthday bring you everything wonderful. — Vivek (Chairman, OFSR · Jija · Biggest Fan)
