Dear Priya,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I received your letter last week and was delighted to hear about your dance competition win. Congratulations!

I wanted to share some news with you. As you know, my father got transferred to Bangalore last month, and I've joined a new school here – St. Joseph's High School. The first few days were quite difficult. Everything felt strange and unfamiliar. The campus is much larger than our old school, and I kept getting lost trying to find my classrooms! The teachers are strict but helpful, and the students are friendly. I've made a few friends already – Ananya and Rohan from my class have been very welcoming.

What I miss most is our time together – our lunch break gossip, library visits and evening walks. I often think about the fun we had during the school annual day rehearsals. But I'm slowly adjusting here. The school has excellent sports facilities, and I've joined the basketball team.

Do write back and tell me all about what's happening at school. Give my warm regards to your parents.

Your loving friend,
Neha

Dear Rohan,

I hope you're doing well. I received your letter yesterday and understand your concern about managing time during board exam preparation. Don't worry – with proper planning, you can definitely cover the entire syllabus.

First, create a realistic study timetable. Divide your day into slots for each subject, giving more time to difficult topics. Avoid studying one subject for too long; switch subjects every two hours to keep your mind fresh. Second, don't ignore your weaknesses. Instead of spending all your time on subjects you enjoy, focus extra effort on weaker areas. Third, take short breaks every hour – a quick walk or snack helps you concentrate better when you return. Most importantly, don't sacrifice sleep. Studying late into the night will only make you tired and reduce productivity the next day.

Remember, consistent daily effort is better than last-minute cramming. Stay positive and believe in yourself. You're a bright student, and I'm confident you'll do excellently in the exams.

Write back and let me know how things are going. All the best!

Your caring friend,
Amit

Dear Arjun,

I hope you and your family are doing well. It's been a while since we met, and I really miss our cricket matches in the park!

I'm writing to invite you to my 16th birthday party on 25th February, 2026, at 6 p.m. We're hosting it at our home. It's going to be a fun evening with games, music, dance and lots of delicious food. Many of our old school friends will be there, so it'll be a nice reunion. I've also arranged for a live music band, and we're planning some interesting games and competitions with prizes.

Your presence would make my birthday celebration truly special. Please do come, and if possible, stay for dinner. I've already told my parents that you're definitely coming, so don't disappoint me! You can also bring your younger brother if he'd like to join.

Looking forward to seeing you on the 25th. Give my regards to Uncle and Aunty.

Affectionately,
Karan

My dear Bhaiya,

I hope you're doing well in London and that your studies are going smoothly. We received your letter last week, and everyone at home was happy to know that you've settled in well.

Things are quite busy here. My board exams are approaching, and I'm studying hard every day. Papa has been helping me with Mathematics, and I'm feeling more confident now. Mummy keeps asking me to eat properly and not stay up too late, just like she used to tell you! We all miss you very much, especially during dinner time when your chair remains empty.

Last week was Mummy's birthday, and though we celebrated at home, everyone felt your absence. She kept looking at your photograph and became emotional. Please try to video call us more often – it makes her really happy. Papa's health is good, and he's very proud of your progress.

Study well and take care of yourself. We're all eagerly waiting for your summer vacation when you'll be home.

Your loving sister,
Ananya

My dear Mummy,

I hope this letter finds you, Papa and little Riya in the best of health. I'm doing well here and missing you all very much.

Life at the hostel is getting better each day. I've made some good friends, and we study together in the library every evening. The food is decent, though nothing can match your cooking! I still dream about your rajma-chawal and gajar ka halwa. My class teacher, Mrs. Kapoor, is very kind and helpful. She reminds me of you in many ways.

My half-yearly exams went well, and I'm expecting good results. I've been following the timetable we made together before I left home. I wake up at 6 a.m., exercise for half an hour, and never miss breakfast. Don't worry about me – I'm taking good care of myself and wearing warm clothes as you instructed.

Please give my love to Papa and a big hug to Riya. I'm counting the days until Diwali holidays when I'll be home.

Your loving son,
Rahul

My dear Papa,

I hope you are doing well in Dubai and not working too hard. We received your video call last Sunday, and it was wonderful to see your face after so many weeks.

Everything is fine at home. Mummy is managing everything very well, though she misses you terribly. I'm helping her with household chores and taking care of my younger brother. My studies are going smoothly – I've completed my Science project, and my teacher praised it in class. I've also started morning jogging like you advised, and I feel much more energetic now.

We understand that you're working so hard abroad for our better future, but please don't forget to take care of your health. Eat properly, get enough sleep, and don't skip your medicines. We need you healthy and happy more than we need anything else.

Mummy sends her love, and Chotu keeps asking when you're coming home. We're all eagerly waiting for your next visit in April.

Missing you lots, Papa.

Your loving daughter,
Ananya
