My dear Seema,
Last Sunday I along with my friends visited book fair at Emma Foulger School, Royapettah. We reached the allotted spot by 11 am. There was a big crowd of people. There were many bookstalls containing books on different subjects. There were books on science, commerce, General Knowledge, philosophy and religion. There was a rich collection of English and Tamil literature also.
Many publishing companies had their stalls and it was a great experience to go through these stalls. Leading publishing companies like Tata McGraw-Hill, Penguin books etc, had their collection of encyclopedias and General Knowledge books and packages. Also there were bookstalls on computers and books on latest computer hardware and software were there. Mapping agencies, computer hardware stalls and also stalls of art and crafts were also put up.
I was overjoyed to find myself among so many books as you know I love books and they are one’s best friend and guide. I had collected Rs. 1000/- only to buy books. So I purchased a number of them. But books are very costly these days. I wish I had more money to buy books, but I am not disappointed, as I am looking forward to the next year book fair.
By the evening we came back but I was not tired at all, but rather I was over thrilled in the world of books. But I missed your company very much.
Convey my best regards to your parents.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Kamal
I am fine here and hope the same for you. I’m sad you couldn’t come here in spite of the request made by me. If you were here, you would have enjoyed the fair with us. But you had your constraints. Never mind.
Last week, I went to Goner Fair with my younger brother Raju and two friends. This grand fair was held near the lake. There were thousands of men, women and children. I went there for ‘darshan’ of Lord Jagdish (Vitthal) and also to enjoy the village fair. There were tea stalls, sweets’ shops, namkeen stalls, toys, bangles, clothes shops and video games stall, as well as magic show. We also witnessed a Death Well, in which two motorcyclists drove their bikes at a very high speed. It was really thrilling to watch them do so.
The villagers were enjoying the fair by singing and dancing. Camel race was the main attraction of the fair. A magician was showing his magic tricks openly. A snake-charmer was making the snakes dance to his tunes.
It was an enjoyable day for me and friends. Next time, do make a programme of visiting the fair with us. You will surely enjoy it as much as we did.
Convey my regards to your parents.
Yours sincerely
