Dear Sunil,

I am fine and wish to hear the same from you. Last month I celebrated the Pongal festival in my native village “Chinna Thadakam” in the Coimbatore district. My grandparents are living there. I had an unforgettable time with them. Since Pongal is the festival of harvest, the farmers bathed their cows and bulls and painted their horns. There were a village fair and bullock cart race. Jallikattu, the traditional bull-taming spectacle, was also held as part of the four-day Pongal festival. I visited the village fair and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life like bathing in the river, strolling in the fields, eating food cooked in earthen utensils over firewood, sleeping on a cot on the terrace under the star-lit sky, visiting temple fairs, and watching Karagattam presentation. I really enjoyed the rural life. Next year I wish to take you to our native village to celebrate Pongal.

Convey my love to your parents.

Yours lovingly,
R. Prashanth
