Hi Vinay,
How are you? I am fine. Our final assessment will be over in a few days. Have you planned anything? I have already made a plan. I will go to a place. There are talking rocks in that place. These rocks talk through letters, symbols and pictures. They talk about people and time of the past. Are you interested to come? Write back soon and let me know.
I am winding up for today. Give my regards to uncle and aunt.
Yours loving, Ramesh
