Dear Diana,
While travelling to New York from Mumbai recently, I met this guy on board the flight. He was sitting on the next seat. As we both were travelling alone, we got talking. Being a long-haul flight we kept chatting throughout the flight. By the time, the flight landed in NY, we had become good buddies. We exchanged our email IDs and Mumbai cell phone numbers. I was visiting my sister who resides there while he was visiting his brother who is settled in Boston. Now I am back in Mumbai, but this guy is stuck in my head. I was keen to send him an email, but detested from doing it. I did not want him to think that I was desperate. But to my surprise and joy, last week he dropped an email. He told me he was caught up with many things on his arrival in Mumbai, so could not drop in a line earlier. I replied to him and ever since we have been exchanging emails. Is this love? I do not believe that I found my guy on a flight and love bloomed thousands of feet above sea level. How do I take it forward now?
