Randeep said.. " I went through the letters, i made his thoughts mine, i made his words mine.. I went through.. I think i've written many letters which i've not sent to Omung and which i will never send because now i read them and i think they are too personal. I used to sit at home and in the chains and you know..lie in my bathroom for a long time and write letters to Omung as if he was my sister but i would address it as Omung.. [turns to Omung standing beside] sorry Omung!.. ".
