Dear Dear (Name),

I am sorry as I could not write to you earlier. I had gone away on a four days long trip to ___________ (Place Name) with the school tour. Every year our school arranges a tour and this year it was proposed by students themselves that they had read a lot about ___________ (Place Name) its historical monuments we should this time go and personally visit and see them. The proposal was readily accepted by the Principal. Arrangements began to be made in advance. Railway concession tickets were arranged from ____________ (Place) to ____________ (Place) station and back. There were in all 80 students — boys as well as girls, accompanied by twelve teachers — gents and lady teachers and three servants.

The packets of our lunch were consumed — this satisfied our hunger but our eyes longed to keep looking on and on at the magnificence of the huge dome and the intricate workmanship. We could feel why people all across the world come up to witness this marvel of marvels.

Evening was desending and it was getting time for us to leave. With much reluctance we did leave casting the last lingering look at the Taj.

Now was our plan to go through the famous market of Agra, the Kinari Bazar. The buses had been required to park themselves on the other end of the market.

The Kinari Bazar of Agra is also a marvel in its own way. A narrow street runs all through and on both its flanks are shops which sell from a needle to anything. Shoes are Agra’s famous product and there are wholesale markets all over — in the lanes and bye-lanes.

And then the huge mounds of ‘Petha’ and ‘Dalmoth’ — really a treat to the eye and an attraction to the tongue — on every corner and then the sizzling ‘Chat’ and the greasing Desi Ghee Halwa. Agra market is full of such delicacies.

Back to the Dharmashala by the evening, we had our dinner served by the Dharmashala Dhaba — a reasonably tasty one, which our Principal had pre-ordered for us.

Next morning, again an early breakfast of ‘Kachori’ and Jalebi and cups of tea with packed lunch packets, we headed to the Agra Fort — a huge structure built in red- stone.

The
The sun set in the west and darkness began to descend and so was sleep descending on us. It was to be an overnight journey which passed off well. Back to Gonda in the morning again, the bus journey from there to Balrampur and back to the school campus where our people were there to receive us.

Such an enjoyable and unforgettable experience — a lifetime experience indeed.

You were not with us, but I hope you would have enjoyed the trip through your imagination — all that I have told you about through this letter. The letter has become lengthy indeed, but how could I not tell you all and everything about it. You are a dear friend to me indeed.

My best regards to your papa and ma.

Yours loving friend,
