I hope you have been doing well. Though it has been just a week since we last met, it seems like it has been a long time. I am writing this letter to express my joy over last week’s dinner that you beautifully arranged for me and I would like to thank you for having me at your place.

There were so many elements about the dinner that I admired. I must say that I heartily enjoyed the get together. Your dining hall gave me a very warm and cosy feeling in this freezing weather, specially, the way the room was lightened up with dim yet glittering lights. The atmosphere you managed to create gave me a homely feeling. The Canadian food was a true delight and the desserts were mouth-watering, quite different from the sort we have in India, which gave us a unique experience. Moreover, I no longer feel like a foreigner now because of your loving gesture and it was an amazing experience for me.

Being an immigrant, I really miss my family parties, as in India I generally mix up more with my near ones. It was nice on your family’s part to mingle so well with me even on our first meet. They were really supportive of the fact that I belong to a very different culture. Infact, they seemed very happy to have me over for the dinner. Hence, I want to express my gratitude to you, as well as your family for giving me such a wonderful time. I am greatly over-whelmed with our friendship and maybe someday we may even go on a vacation together.

Coming to the important part now, I won’t say as matter of returning favours, but I genuinely want you to come and join me and my family for the New Year Eve. We have planned something special and would love you all to have a go at our style of celebrating things. It is going to be a wonderful ride for you guys as you can’t even imagine the kind of evening you are going to have. Apart from that, we will have bonfire for which I have hired a professional, along with some French wine. My aunt from India is coming that day and she is good with cooking. So be prepared for some amazing Indian delicacies and not to forget, long sessions of gossips.

I am eagerly waiting for the day and would love to spend the special night with you and your family. Say my hello to your mom and dad and see you soon.

Best Wishes,

Udita
