Dear Grandma,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Your letter and the delightful care package brought so much joy to my new abode in Delhi. The laddoos were a special treat, and I managed to stash away some in a tiffin before Chintu could lay eyes on them.

While I am adapting to the change, I can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia for our old house. The veranda, where I spent countless evenings watching the sky transform into a canvas of hues, holds a special place in my heart. The nooks and corners, filled with memories and my art, are dearly missed.

However, change brings opportunities, and I am embracing the new possibilities this house offers. The small balcony, now adorned with Mummy's plants, might not be the same, but it has its charm. I am determined to make this house feel like a home. We've ordered a few art pieces to add character, and I'm excited about bringing some pop art to my room.

I've carved out a small corner for my art studio, where I plan to immerse myself in creating pieces for my high school portfolio. The artistic endeavours continue, and I am eager to show you and Grandpa around once we complete furnishing your room. I've even crafted a special art piece for your space. It's a little surprise that I can't wait for you to see.

Even amidst the adjustments, the prospect of having you and Grandpa in Delhi fills me with anticipation and warmth. Your presence will undoubtedly turn this house into a true home. I look forward to your visit and eagerly await your reply.

Your loving Grandson,
Yash
