Dear Anjali,
Hope this letter finds you in the best of health and happiness. I received your last letter, you scored great marks. I am also done with my half-yearly exams and waiting for the results.
I am writing this letter to tell you about the Dussehra holiday plan. As we have 10 days, my family has decided to go to Chitrakoot waterfall. Even my uncle and aunty will be joining us for this view.
I have done all my preparation, and I have kept all my essential things with me. I have even kept my camera, as I think I would get a great view that I could capture.
We will be leaving the day after tomorrow by bus. It’s an eight-hour journey and we will take a minibus. It will hardly take 45 minutes to 60 min for us to reach. A few steps away there is a hut resort where we will be staying.
