Dear Ritu,

Every year you find new ways to be more brilliant, more kind, and more impossibly you — and somehow it still catches me off guard. Between classes, deadlines and everything university keeps throwing at you, you still make room to light up every room you walk into. Today isn't about another candle on a cake — it's a celebration of every late-night laugh, every quiet moment, and every plan we've started dreaming about together.

So here's to you — brilliant, beautiful, endlessly extra in the best way. I hope this little page made you smile half as much as you make me smile every single day.

forever your biggest fan,

💜
