Dear Nina,

I just received your letter seeking my advice on your upcoming holidays. I will be glad to assist you. Regarding your query about accommodation, I would be delighted if you stay with me at my place. There are ample number of rooms in my house and you would find complete privacy here. Still incase you prefer to stay at hotel, then I would suggest the Radisson hotel as it provides world class facilities and is centrally located.

As I am aware that you love historic sites, there are numerous places of interest that I strongly believe will entice you. Firstly, you could visit the heritage museum, which houses artifacts from centuries ago. Apart from this, you could also plan a trip to Phillaur Fort which is a mere 20 kilometres away from here. And as luck would have it, this year the Cultural Fair is also being hosted in my region starting next week. It’s surely not to be missed. I will purchase the tickets beforehand so that we can attend it without any hassle.

Also, you inquired about clothing so I would advise you to bring T-shirts and jeans mostly as it’s the onset of summer here and temperature tends to go upto 30 degrees. Moreover, it would be a good idea to carry some waterproof boots and raincoat as well because unpredictable rains do tend to happen this time around. I am looking forward to see you!

Yours lovingly,

Nisha
