My Dear Mohit
It is a pleasure to have an opportunity of writing to you. Only the other day, I had a chance to go to Pragati Maidan. I found there an 'Exhibition of Stationery' going on. Since I had time, I visited it. Once there, the time seemed to have taken wings. It was a treat to the eyes.
I know you are fond of collecting pencils and stationery-hence this letter. Please do visit this exhibition which is currently going on at Pragati Maidan. I am sure your time will not be wasted.
Please pay my respects to dear Mom and Papa.
Yours affectionately
Vishal
