āSpandanā
34, Pragati Residency,
Palanpur-385 001 Date :9th January, 2016 Dear Khevana Didi
I got your letter by the morning post today. You have written about my not replying for a long time. Yes, you are right in guessing the reason. I am facing some problems. Moreover, I did not know how to share and with whom to share.
But ultimately, I have decided to share those confusions with you because you have been my greatest friend, philosopher and guide, in addition to being a great, sweet sister.
The first and the most important problem faced by me is to decide whether I am a kid or a grown-up person. You know, I turned 14 this month. Yesterday only, when I was playing with my puppy and chasing it, Mummy told me, āYou are too old to play with puppies. You are a grown-up man now.ā
The same evening, while our parents were discussing about your marriage, I suggested something. Mom told me mockingly that I was too young to give any suggestions! How is it possible that āa grown-up manā in the morning became ātoo youngā in the evening ?
I have also got pimples on my face. Thatās really terrifying.
Please suggest which cream to use. I also feel some changes as well going on in my body. I am very much confused. I am also much worried about my studies, because next year, I will be in SSC Board. Rest is OK. Please write back to me as soon as possible.
Our parents are fit and fine.
Regards.
Your loving brother,
Spandan
2. Suppose you are Khevana Didi. Write a letter to Spandan in reply to the above letter. Make sure to follow the format and points mentioned by Spandan.
Room No. 12,
Ladies Hostel,
L. D. Engineering College,
Ahmadabad – 380 009.
12th January, 2016 Dear Spandan,
I received your letter yesterday. But Since I was busy with my assignments, I could not reply yesterday.
You say I am your best friend, philosopher and guide. Then why did you hesitate to share your problems with me ? I can understand what you are going through. Even I faced the same problems when I was your age.
Your first problem: Are you a kid or a grown-up ? Well, my brother, you are a kid who is growing up fast. And so you are facing all the problems that all teenagers face. May be you are too old to play with puppies, but you are too young to give suggestions to elders!
Remember, for parents, children never grow up. They always remain children. Yes, but they do expect you to talk and behave like grown-ups.
As far as your pimples are concerned, I would suggest you to go to a skin specialist. Do not apply any creams just like that. Advertisements are misleading.
Please do not worry about your Board exams. It is not that difficult. If you follow a timetable and study regularly, itās as easy as any other exam. But please do not ignore your hobbies and sports. Enjoy yourself and everything will be fine.
Give my love to our parents. And keep on writing to me.
Your loving sister,
Khevana.
