My dear Kanina,
I would like to share with you a pleasant experience. You know my cousin Shankar is in Mumbai. He had invited me to stay with him for a week. I accepted his invitation because I wanted to see Mumbai.
So I went to Mumbai on 14th October. Soon after reaching there. I heard about a conference. It was a conference on ‘How to combat terrorism.’ With the permission of the Chair, I was also allowed to speak there. You can imagine my happiness when I got the appreciation of the crowd. All of them appreciated my point of view.
I will give you the details of my speech when we meet.
With love
Yours affectionately

My dear Manu
I hope you are hale and hearty. Nevertheless, I am sure you will not be feeling very comfortable in Delhi. It must be very cold there. Yet, it may surprise you that I have visited Simla last week. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, I enjoyed myself a lot.
It was the end of December. The usual crowds of summer days were absent. We got a comfortable room. In the morning, I opened the window. What a scene ! It was snowing all around. We were two persons in the room. Both of us dressed ourselves well and came out in the open. It was my first experience of enjoying the snow-fall.
1 kept on the road for a long time.
In the afternoon, I watched an exciting programme of ice-skating. I could not participate in it. Yet, it was a treat to watch.
With love.
Yours affectionately
