My letter to Vienna read:

Dear Vienna,

I am sorry I didn’t know your pain. I am sorry I was ignorant. I thought you had always been living on a bed of roses. It hurts to know your tumultuous past but also I find great hope by watching you age like fine wine. It’s heartwarming to see your war zones turn into love zones and art zones.

I hope my children look after me the way your children have looked after you.

Love, Lahore.
