My dear Soumya,
I hope life is fine with you! I find the benevolence of Mother Nature still respecting my time on Earth. I wrote a letter to you just two weeks ago and you may wonder why I am writing another letter without waiting for an answer. Well! The reason is simple! I visited an old age home where I spent about five hours as a part of the social work project of our school and I thought that I should share my experiences with you.

Dear Rishab:
I hope this letter finds you in fine fettle. I am writing to you to share with you a very touching experience I recently had. I got an opportunity to visit an old age home. It is a kind of home for those old people who for some reasons cannot stay with their grown-up children or those who don’t have any family member to care of them.
I felt very emotional interacting with an old lady. Although she is an affluent woman, she has to live in the home because both her daughters are married and well-settled. Her husband passed away long ago. She said she had opted to live at the Home for many facilities such as safety, security, lodging and boarding, and the most important thing-- company of peers.
I was just so sad and depressed to see first time in my life there are such homes where the old people have to live without families. I personally feel it is very lonely there. The old people need their sons, daughters, grandchildren to live happily. Why is it that in our country the old fathers and mothers cannot live with their married daughters’ families?
I have decided that I shall be visiting the old age home regularly to give company to the old people living there. That’s all from my side. Give regards to uncle and aunt. Do write back.
Yours affectionately,
Gibran
