From: [email protected]

| Subject | My balsam plants |
Hi Dad,
How are you? How is your trip? Have you done a lot of sightseeing the past weekend? Please don't forget to send some pics. I wish we could all have been in Paris with you.
I have some excellent news for you. Do you know those potted balsam plants in the corner of our courtyard? Well, I took one pot and gave it a lot of love and care. And guess what! It won the first prize in the 'Best Plant' contest in our colony!
But more important than that, Dad, is the fact that I have discovered that my plants love music, especially my favourite raga, Mohanam. They bend towards me when I play that raga on my violin, and move away when I play some music with a quick rhythm. No, it is not my imagination; I proved it to the organisers of the contest, and they have praised me for my discovery. They will certainly talk to you about it when you come back.
Dad, I want to prove my discovery to you too. Please come back soon. Rest everything is fine. Lots of hugs and kisses from all of us.
Revathi.
