प्रश्न
As young Khushwant Singh, write a letter to your parents describing your daily routine expressing your thoughts and feelings about staying in the village.
उत्तर
Dear dad,
I am fine. I feel extremely happy to share my thoughts and feelings about staying in the village with grandmother. First of all, I thank you so much for leaving me with grandma when you left for the city. Grandma is very affectionate towards me and I can’t leave her at any cost. She wakes me up early in the morning and makes me listen to her morning prayer. Though it is monotonous, I like listening to her voice. She makes me get ready for school and gives me chapattis for breakfast.
She accompanies me to school. On the way, we used to feed street dogs with stale chapattis which grandma carries with her daily. When we return from school those dogs follow us till we reach home. She also helps me in my studies. I am very much devoted to the love and affection which she shows to me. I like the atmosphere here and want to stay here for a long. Hope you fulfill my wish.
Yours affectionately,
Khushwant Singh.
