Dear Queency,
How are you? I am fine. Hope you are doing well. Last week I
went to our native place near Karur. I would like to describe my ancestral
house. I had gone there with my parents. It is an old house build with granite
stones. There are lot of trees and garden plants in the garden. My grand
parents still live there. There was an old swing beside the house. I remembered
my childhood days. I wish to spend my vacation there. I like my ancestral house
very much. Convey my love and regards to your family.
Yours lovingly
Shobi.
