Well, over the past few months, I've heard a lot of good news related to my family, like my sister's pregnancy, my nephew's birthday celebration, and so on. But today, I'd like to talk about my friend, Ritika. Last month, I heard fantastic news about her. It was back when I was in 12th standard and she was in 10th standard. One day, I was browsing social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, etc., and I came across this news about her. She had won first place in her sport! When I heard this, I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. But when she told me herself, I was so happy for her. We celebrated together and had a great time. When my family members heard the news, they were also thrilled for her.
