My dear sweet niece,
You need to first know you are the most loved baby that I know... and that's only counting how much I know that I love you. If you add in everyone else who loves you, then you are simply the most loved person in the whole of the entire world. I promise it's true. And it will be true for the rest of your life.
Here, I feel like I must share with you some very important truths about you. These are the things I know, with absolute certainty, about you already:
The first, and probably the single most important thing I need you to know, is that you have been blessed with two of the most incredible people as your parents.
Your mother is my sister. She is my best friend. She will be a better mother to you then you could have ever possibly wished for and you are so lucky to have her. If ever you happen to forget that, I promise that I will always remind you. After I take you out for ice cream and sympathetically listen to you complain about her first, of course. she will teach you so many wonderful things; Like what it means to be a strong, independent woman, how to be kind to everyone, not to back down when you believe in something, that good friends are irreplaceable and that some people don't deserve your time, to love animals, how to take charge, and the importance of family. I hope you get her smile, her passion for dance, her love for shopping,. Those last two things will drive your father crazy!
Manish, your father, is someone that I now count to be one of my best friends and you can bet that he will be the best father ever. As I have gotten to know him more and more over the past two years, I have learned to love him as a brother and trust him completely with my sister. I am now trusting him to raise you, my niece, and in this I do not hesitate. He is an amazing person and I could not have dreamt up a better man to be my sister's husband and your dad. What I love and respect most about him is how much he loves your mother and the whole family. To see the way that he cares for her is the most beautiful thing and I hope you are always able to cherish that. He too will teach you many things: how to care for others, the importance of good cooking, how to make something with your own two hands, how to do masti and nautanki :P that girls can wear other colours then pink, to keep your heart open, to always put your family first, and how to put up with your in-laws someday.:P I hope you get his work ethic, his innate cooking ability, his adventurous spirit .
Together, your parents make an unstoppable team. They will show you what it means to compromise, how to argue without fighting, the value of an apology, , to always help your friends out, to get to meeting on time(your dad will teach you that ), and to always take care of your sister. Well... you don't have a sister yet, but if someday your do find yourself having to be an older sister, I hope you take after you mom.
I love your parents very much and ever since I've found out that they were having a baby, all the love that I have for them has been multiplied exponentially towards you, Sweet Girl. Already this love that I have towards you is more and greater and different than anything I have ever felt. My heart has expanded to hold you tightly there, fiercely protective and wildly in love with this little girl I have. I am already imaging the slumber parties that we will have where I can feed you pizza, popcorn, and candy, keep you up all night playing games and telling stories. I can't wait to take you on shopping trips to buy you all the things your parents told you that you couldn't have..
And there are so many things that I want to teach you too! Like how it's okay to wear black and brown together and that boots can be worn with any outfit really but don't ever wear Ugg boots with short skirts in the summer because that's just weird. Or how to take a good photograph and that it's imperative that you take as many photos in and of your life as possible. And that you should always be proud of who you are and never let anyone bully you into thinking you aren't good enough. Because I know, because of who your parents are, because of who your family consists of, I know that you are the most incredible girl and I hope you always have confidence in that.
I could go on. Trust me, in all my sappy PROUD AUNTY-ness, I could ramble on forever. But I won't. I will leave you with a promise, Baby Girl, a very sincere promise that is written on my heart, and it is this: I will always be here for you. I will always love you unconditionally and will do absolutely anything for you. You are my niece, my beloved sister's daughter, the blood of my blood, and heart of my heart. I love you absolutely and completely and I always, always will.

Love,
Aunt Maitreyee!
