Hello everyone. It is really nice to see so many people here! I like it that I am able to talk to people who are so far away and who are helping me to study. I am really thankful to you.

Dear Sartaj, I know that Punjab is a big state that grows a lot of wheat and rice. My summer was very interesting because there were two weddings in the village and me and all my friends were allowed to wear bangles and lipstick for the first time!

Dear rhonda, I have never been to Rishikesh but would love to go one day if i am able. I am happy that you came to India. My father is a farmer and my mother is in the house mostly.

Dear Arnab and Melanie, yes I am still in school, thanks to Milaan, and thanks to your support. These days we are giving our annual exams.

This year is my tenth board exams. So i will be completing high school this year! I can't believe that it has been 4 years, since I joined school.
