Answer:
Bihar Sharif
16.03.2020
To,
The Editor
The Times of India
Patna
Sir,
I beg to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the miserable condition of road and drains. All the roads and drains at Bihar Sharif tell the sad tale of disrepair. When it rains, roads turn into pools and poodles. Drains become rivulets of dirty water. People have to face many difficulties in crossing the roads.
They have to wade through knee-deep water. At times, rickshaws carrying passengers turn turtle. Stagnant water on roads breeds the germs of diseases. Therefore, it is requested that steps be taken for improvement of drains and roads.
Yours faithfully,
Pankaj Kumar.

My dear Kailash,
lam quite well here. I hope you to be the same. I have just returned from my college tour. This time we decided to visit Nalanda, Rajgir, and Pawapuri. We hired a minibus and reached Pawapuri. As you know Pawapuri is a place of great historical importance. It was here that Lord Mahavira breathed his last, so, it is a place of great religious importance for the Jains.
We were much impressed by the beautiful Jain temples and peaceful atmosphere all around. From Pawapuri, we went to Nalanda which is famous for the ruins of an ancient university. We saw only the ruins most of which speak of our rich past and high quest for knowledge. Its library was the richest one in the world and scholars from all parts of the world came here in search of knowledge. From Nalanda, we went to Rajgir. Here we saw the famous Akhara of Jarasandh. We took bath in the hot springs of Rajgir. We also saw the Shanti stoopa which is worth seeing.
All these places, in fact, are of great importance. We returned to Bihar sharif at about 7 P.M. 1 wish you were with us. I suggest you to visit these places. Convery my best regards to your parents and love to your youngers.
Sincerely yours,
NiijalNath.

when I fell asleep. In the night I had a dream. I found myself in the chair of the Prime Minister. Many people were coming towards me. They were very eager to congratulate me on my grand victory. The Prime ministers of several countries also came to have a good relation with me. I gave my assurance to all those persons. ‘
At last I made a fine speech. I emphasized on the present education system of India. I promised to improve this education system. 1 also laid emphasis on Family Planning. In the mean time I got up and found myslef lying on the bed in my room. I realised that it was not true but a dream.

Patna .Sir,
Through your daily newspaper I would like to draw the attention of the government to the plight of flood-affected famine stricken people of Bihar. This year heavy rainfall has caused havoc in Bihar. All rivers of the state have been overflooded. Flood water has submerged the fields.
Standing crops have been swept away. Many houses have collapsed. People have become homeless. Epidemics have broken out in the villages. People are losing their lives due to the fatal diseases. They are also suffering from hunger. Therefore, I request you to press the government to take steps for the relief to the flood affected/famine stricken people.

The main cause of these problems is the ignorance of the people. I shall do something so that the people may think intelligently. I shall arouse in them social and political consciousness. This is the part of my plan that 1 want to follow after the examination.
I am fine. You will also be all right there. Convey my best regards to your Daddy and Mummy and good wishes to your youngers.

My dear Jai Prakash,
Many, many thanks to you for your letter dated 11.06.2020.1 am much pleased to know that you want to be a doctor. 1 am sure that you will get success, but I want to be a teacher.
Friend, as you know India is a country of villages. Most of the people live in the villages. They are illiterate. So the ambition of my life is to give people the light of knowledge. Doctors and engineers can serve the nation best only when people are educated. Unless people are led from darkness to light the country cannot develop. My ambition is to teach even those ignorant adults who inhabit in our country.
To fulfill my ambition, I shall go to those comers of the country where people live their lives like beasts. I shall teach them to live their lives in a proper manner. I am very fine. You too are OK. Kindly tell my best compliments to Mummy and Papa.
Yours affectionately,
Pankaj

Dear Dharmendra,
You are quite aware of the fact that life is a drama. We find the episodes of sorrow and happiness in, it. My happiest day is the marriage ceremony day of my sister.
On the day of my sister’s marriage ceremony, I was very happy. My sister was in red Saree. She looked like goddess Laxmi. The bridegroom was also with all his friends. They were very glad. They were fully satisfied with the arrangements we had made. The marriage ritual was gone through.
There was exchange of garlands to the chanting of mantra. All the guests were served delicious dishes. There were dances and sweet songs. They were entertained by the orchestra party. All persons present at this function were happy. I was the happiest man. On that occasion, your absence caused me anxiety.
