My dear Ashok,
I am not
surprised to learn from your letter that you are feeling bored in your village.
May I suggest a way of escape from the boredom as well as the sweltering heat
of May?
Ten other students of our class and I,
including the ‘Saint’ and ‘the Professor,’ have
decided to go on a trip to Kodaikanal in the third week of May.I very
much want you to join the tour and enhance its pleasure.
I don’t know
much about kodaikanal at present, but soon we’ll come to know a lot about it,
won’t we? It is said to be a very beautiful and pleasant part of India,with
cool, bracing climate in summer.We shall see picturesque hills and valleys,
lovely lakes and gardens.We ahall romp, swim, skate and ski.I am sure that you
will enjoy your stay in Kodaikanal, as you are an adorer of beauty not only in Nature but in ‘the human
face divine.’
Do join the
tour. Your parents will surely approve of the plan if they know that my elder
brother and Sunil’s uncle are accompanying us.As we are getting concession in
rail fare, the expences of the tour will be low. Please reply to this letter as
early as possible, since we have to make the necessary arrangements for the
trip to Kashmir in your company.
Yours sincerely,
Ramesh.
