"It's cold .... I'm trembling all over, just as if I'd got an examination before me. The great thing is, I must have my mind made up. If I give myself time the think, to hesitate, to talk a lot, to look for an ideal, or for real love, then I'll never get married ..... Brr!! .... It's cold! Avneet Kaur Nandra is an excellent housekeeper not bad-looking, well-educated .... what more do I want? But I'm getting a noise in my ears from excitement. (Drinks) And it's impossible for me not to marry .... In the first place, I'm already, 25 a critical age, so to speak. In the second place, I ought to lead a quite or regular life ..... I suffer from palpitations, I'm excitable & always getting powerful upset .... At this very moment my lips are trembling, & there's a twice in my right eyebrow .... But the very worst of all these is the way I sleep. I no sooner get into bed and begin to go off when suddenly something in my left side give a pool and I can feel it in my left side gives a pull, and I can feel it in my shoulder and head .... I jump up like lunatic, walk about a bit, and lie down again, but as soon as I begin to get off to sleep there's another pull! And this may happens 20 times ..... "

In mind:- it's awfully cold!
Avneet:- What's the metter? Tell.....
Siddharth:- I shall try to be brief. You must know Miss Nandra that I have long, since my childhood, in fact, had the privilege to knowing your family.
