Amour Vincit Omnia....

      Of all the love letters I have ever seen, the most poignant and enchanting ones are from two  literary works.You may call it novellas. The first one is   Letter from Peking  by Pearl S. Buck and the other one is Premalekhanam by Vaikom Muhammad Basheer.I strongly recommend both of them.Especially for those who cant stand a thick volumes of prose fictions.   My dear wife, First Before I say what must be said, let me tell you that I love only you....( The novel begins with this letter which is something we cant forget for life) Here is the original work in Malayalam from Premalekanam.     "My dearest Saraamma, When life is at its most intense state of youth, and one's heart has reached its most beautiful state of love, how does my dearest friend while away her time during this rare and short-lived beautiful period of life? As for me, I am living each moment of my life with my mind stirring hopelessly in love with my Saaraama. What about Saaraamaa?
