Dear Auntie Agni,
I hope you are well. I am seeking your advice regarding a situation that has been troubling me for some time. I like someone very much — she is my cousin — and at one point, it seemed we shared mutual feelings. However, she suddenly blocked me without giving any explanation. This abrupt ending has left me with unresolved emotions and I find myself repeatedly wondering where I went wrong.

I am pursuing my MPhil at a very young age and I am the first student from my community to achieve this milestone. I am also preparing for competitive exams, including the Central Superior Services (CSS). I have worked hard to move on and focus on my personal growth. Yet, despite my best efforts, I feel a natural inclination towards her, as if a part of me still holds on. As Ahmed Faraz beautifully said: ‘Qurbat bhi nahin, dil se utar bhi nahin........
