Dear Grandma,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Your letter and the delightful care package brought so much joy to my new abode in Delhi. The laddoos were a special treat, and I managed to stash away some in a tiffin before Chintu could lay eyes on them.

While I am adapting to the change, I can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia for our old house. The veranda, where I spent countless evenings watching the sky transform into a canvas of hues, holds a special place in my heart. The nooks and corners, filled with memories and my art, are dearly missed.

However, change brings opportunities, and I am embracing the new possibilities this house offers. The small balcony, now adorned with Mummy's plants, might not be the same, but it has its charm. I am determined to make this house feel like a home. We've ordered a few art pieces to add character, and I'm excited about bringing some pop art to my room.

I've carved out a small corner for my art studio, where I plan to immerse myself in creating pieces for my high school portfolio. The artistic endeavours continue, and I am eager to show you and Grandpa around once we complete furnishing your room. I've even crafted a special art piece for your space. It's a little surprise that I can't wait for you to see.

Even amidst the adjustments, the prospect of having you and Grandpa in Delhi fills me with anticipation and warmth. Your presence will undoubtedly turn this house into a true home. I look forward to your visit and eagerly await your reply.

Your loving Grandson,
Yash

Read the following passage and write a summary of it. Suggest a suitable title to the summary.

According to some experts, a staggering 93 percent of our daily communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions are easy to decipher. One can readily detect happiness, sadness, anger. Physicians can tell a patient is doing well (or not) by looking at his/her face.

Eye contact is another type of non-verbal communication, which can tell a lot about the other person. The eyes convey a range of emotions-happiness, sadness, boredom, surprise, confidence ..... even emotional interest. Staring at someone's forehead may intimidate the recipient, staring at the mouth is sometimes interpretated as a sign of emotional interest. In fact staring into someone's eyes is a sign of lying, and so is looking away. In certain cultures, lack of eye contact is taken as a sign of respect.

If body language is to be defined, it is a combination of facial expression, gestures, eye contact, body movements and posture and voice.

Frequent blinking is a sign of the person feeling distressed or uncomfortable. If the pupils are dilated, it often indicates interest, even emotional interest. The lips also reflect our body language, and lip biting indicates worry and/or anxiety; tightening of the lips may be an indication of disapproval. Slightly turned-up lips indicate happiness and slightly turned-down lips indicate sadness.
