Dear Apurva,
I hope you're keeping well. Recently, during the summer vacation I went family.
There I saw the Gol ghar , Planetarium, Sanjay Gandhi Botanical and Zoological Garden and Science Center.All of us enjoyed seeing the animals in their natural habitat in the sanjay Gandhi Botanical and Zoological Garden. We also felt excited on seeing stars and planets in the planetarium.We had a very good view of patna from the top of Gol Ghar . It was a great experience going through different activities at the Science Center.
I enjoyed cold -drinks and eatables with Mom and Dad.I wish you too were with us . Please convey my regards to uncle and ....It and love to Nisha.
Your loving friend,
Aditya
