Dear harsh,
I hope everything is good in your place. I am also fine here. I am going to share my journey experience to famous tourist place Varanasi. Varanasi is famous for Kasi Biswanath temple, GangaGhats and gangaarti. I went to Varanasi last month with my parent to spend summer vacation. I explored many places to know details about the place. You will be amazed to know that each corner of Varanasi carries great history and culture of India origin. We spend five long days there visiting all temples, famous Ghats, boarded on boats, took bath in Ganga River. We enjoyed local food immensely and bought some significant items as souvenir. I would like to visit this place again whenever I will get a chance.
I would recommend you to visit this place once. Take care.
Yours ever,
Akash

Dear Mom and Dad,
I am having a good time here with the Awasthis. They are very kind, generous and friendly towards me as I feel like living in home. Mr. awasthi and her wife both have interests in travelling new places. They often took me for outing with them and I enjoyed visiting many new places like cafes, parks, restaurants. We enjoyed music and watched new films together. They treat me like their own family member so I feel cafe and secured at their place. Recently, they are planning to shift their house as they are not liking the present house much. They have viewed some but have not decided any as final. You both do not worry about me as I am very happy here.
Take care. I will come back home soon.
Yours affectionately,
