you, yours, a star


Explanation:
Taro also means 'belongs to you' like in a sentence 'chokro taro chey meaning the boy is yours'.
or 'aa rumal taro chey'. meaning 'this hanky belongs to you' (or is yours.)

In a letter it could be used to end the letter or sign off like taro... meaning yours( and ending with .... a name or sweetheart etc)
