My Unaddressed Musings

04th September 2025

Letters are such an intimate medium of communication; the words being written are directly addressed to one particular person, sharing language, incidents, and memories that are unique to the two of them.

But imagine this, there are people you have met in the past, who did wrong to you, and you can't address them directly. For that, letters are also the most convenient way. As you read ahead, find out, and by the end, let me know if I have successfully convinced you.

To whomsoever it may concern,

(Is such a mean start to any letter! It clearly implies, "This letter may not be intended for you, but if the shoe fits, wear it, Cinderella! :D)

To that distant relative who wrote a letter of sympathy to a man who was blessed with fatherhood after 4 years of his marriage, just because it was a girl: May God think a million times before blessing you with a child. May he prepare you first and then give you the superpower of being a FATHER.

To the roadside romeo who tried to test a 15 year old's patience by trying to spread rumors about her character: I wish I had the strong head I have today to not be disturbed by your baseless allegations on me.

To the pervert who gave filthy signals to an 18-year-old in the Mall: If I were as fierce as I am today, I would have made sure I humiliated you in public.

To the doubtful neighbours who kept an eye on how a girl working in a BPO dresses up and rolled their eyes the moment she caught them red handed: Night shifts also have legit work. Working in a call centre does not make me a call girl. I worked hard with all the dedication, and I was only making the most of the opportunity I had at my fingertips.

To the so-called colleague who raised his hand and voice to showcase his masculinity: I wish I could actually respond to it before POSH did. And, actually, thank you for helping me transform from a timid, shy girl into the one who does not take sh*t.





To the FRIEND who tries to see the reaction of a woman to a double-meaning joke he shared in DM: I did not react on purpose. I am not comfortable talking to you on those topics. You are a friend, be one. Do not cross the line.

To the ones who think she is only active on social media because she does not have a real life: Well, if you know I am active on social media, that's only because you are also active there. So, you also don't have a life, then?

To the relatives who think she blows only her trumpet: Well, I deserve an orchestra by my side, but since you don't value my work enough, I have to manage with my trumpet. Poor me! :(

To the relatives who think she does not take out time for us, afterall, what keeps her busy?: Previously, you had a problem that I did not have anything to do with. Now that I have made opportunities for myself, you complain that I do too much. What is your problem exactly?

To the acquaintances who think she is too updated for a homemaker: Information is freely accessible to everyone, well, almost. In the end, all that matters is following the right sources and utilizing our time wisely. If you watch it for entertainment, let me tell you I access it to seek information. So, we are not the same, bro!

We all meet such people who we feel like giving back to at the same time, but we can’t, and there are multiple reasons for it. So, if you get an opportunity like this to address those incidents, why not make the most of it, right?

Meanwhile, if you relate to any of the above or have your own incident, do let me know in the comments.

Disclaimer : Dare you say NOT ALL here, because these all incidents have happened with me, for real. Also, if any incident made you think it sounds like someone you know—or like you—that’s on you. Any resemblance is purely intentional … so maybe just apologize. Expect an "It's not okay" in return, though
