Dear Puja ,
Hope you and your family is doing well. I cannot wait to share my wonderful experience that I have recently had. I had been to Nagayan Wild Life Sanctuary last week. It was an amazing experience. There are number of varieties of species that blew my mind. It was another level experience to see them in real. Also there is a river just 150 kms away from the sanctuary. My family had great time there and I got to explore new things. You should too visit the sanctuary one day.
I miss you and hope to see you in summer vacations. Give my regards to your parents.
Meera Basu Yours lovingly
