Dear Aasia,

I just received your letter this morning, and I cannot express how happy I am to hear from you! It’s been a very long time since we last met. Let’s catch up real soon!

You had mentioned in the letter that you are planning to learn to drive, I am glad you have finally decided to overcome your fears and do it. It’s going to give you a lot of flexibility and reduce dependency on others. It is very useful during emergencies while you cannot afford to wait for a cab or a public transport. Also, once you have a license, you are free to drive for about 30 days in other countries! which calls for a vacation very soon!

I would recommend that you enroll as a student at “Dharma Driving School”, they have really good professional teachers who will guide you really well and give some easy tips to follow. I think you will surely remember me going to those classes and explaining you all that I learnt during our college days. It seems too long ago, isn’t it? That reminds me about the mock tests they conduct before the actual road exam, I think you should opt for one and thank me later.

All the best for your classes and exam well in advance! Do write to me if you have any queries. I will answer to the best of my knowledge. Can’t wait to see you!

Love,

Sarah
