Grandpa was writing a letter. Ritu stood beside him, leaning on the arm of the old chair.
“Grandpa, have you asked Aunty to send Mani to our home for the holidays?”
“Of course, dear Ritu, I have written to your Aunty. Look here, let me read out the letter –
Dear Pooja, Hope you are fine. Mani must be having holidays now. Ritu is very eager to see him. Do send him here to Tumkur.”
Ritu jumped up and down. And since she could not stop herself, she ran around the room once and hugged Grandpa.
“Would you like to post this letter yourseld?” asked Grandpa.
Ritu’s eyes open wide. “all by myself/ Oh, may I?”
