Dear Maya

Thank you very much for your last letter. It was great to hear from you after so many months. You seem to be having a nice time in France.

Thanks also for the photographs. I absolutely loved that snap of yours standing in front of the Eiffel Tower. France looks stunning. Someday, I would definitely like to go there.

There's not much happening here. I am busy with my work and kids.

By the way, are you coming home anytime soon? If you are, let me know the dates and we can arrange to meet up.

Hope to see you soon!

Dear Mummy and Daddy

I know you both have been waiting for this letter. Our classes began day before yesterday and I am quite happy that I managed to secure admission in a prestigious college like this. Our professors are highly knowledgeable and kind. I absolutely love the way they explain the concepts. They know what they are teaching.

I also love the overall ambience of the campus. It is quite large and has a cosmopolitan feel to it. There are students from all over the world. There is another Indian student in my class and I have already made friends with her. I have also befriended a few Korean and American students.

I share my room with a student from Korea. He is my senior and quite friendly. We get along really well. Overall, I am quite happy here; however, I do feel homesick at times. Also, I miss you both a lot. Food is another problem. It is very bland. I miss the spicy curries that mummy cooks. But don't worry, I am getting used to my new life.

By the way, ask Rani to write every now and then. I would love to hear from her.

Much love

Varun
