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.
