Anand Bhawan Udaipur 27 January 2011 Dear Binod I must say time really flies! Because of lack of time, I couldn’t write to you earlier. The great news is Anil is marrying with a Sikkimese girl. I must say he’s a lucky guy! Reena wasn’t too happy for it and Anil was very rude with her. He said he didn’t care for her opinion. She wasn’t nice with me either. I’ve had no time for practice so I’m not taking part at the Athletics meet. I’m no good at either the high jump or the long jump and going there without practice would make it worse. Yes, do write to Yak and Yeti Travels asking for details from their special offer. If it’s within our budget, it’ll be a great holiday. Write when you can. Love Pilloo

Dear Binod

I must say time really flies! Because of lack of time, I couldn’t write to you earlier. The great news is Anil is marrying a Sikkimese girl. I must say he’s a lucky guy! Reena wasn’t happy with it and Anil was very rude to her. He said he didn’t care for her opinion. She wasn’t nice to me either.

I’ve had no time for practice so I’m not taking part in the Athletics meet. I’m no good in either the high jump or the long jump and going there without practice would make it worse.

Yes, do write to Yak and Yeti Travels asking details about their special offer. If it’s in our budget, it’ll be a great holiday. Write when you can.
