Dear mom,
I hope and wish the best of health for you and dad. I am doing fine here. Life here in hostels is very different from that of home. There is nobody to constantly look after you. I am gradually getting used to managing myself on my own.

I get up at 6:00am in the morning, go for a walk. I come back at 7:00 am and take a bath. The timings of our breakfast is 7:30 am to 8:30 am. I go to the mess at this specified time and have breakfast. From 8:30 am our classes get started. It goes on till 1:30 pm. I go to the mess again to have lunch and come back to my room by 2:30 pm. I take some rest till 4:00 pm and then indulge myself in some self studies. At 7:00 pm me and my friends get together to spend some time and then we go to the mess for dinner together. We finish our dinner by 8:30 pm and come back. I then prepare for the next day for sometime and go to bed at 9:30pm. I have become used to making my bed, washing my clothes, managing my belongings. This time when I come back, I will help you too. Now, doing everything on my own makes me realise how selflessly you did everything for me.

I will be home next month for the new year. Can’t wait to see you and everyone at home. Please take care of yourself. I miss you so much.

Yours lovingly,
Neel.
