Dear Asim
I hope this letter finds you in good health.I am sorry for not having replied to your mail either was on a trip to Karachi and come back just yesterday.
Since I had put off writing to you for a long time. I'd like to fill you in an the details of my trip. The most important part of the trip was that I got to experience snowfall.
We had just arrived in Murree when the skies began to darken and before we knew it. snowflakes were floating in the air and foiling down on us. I had gone to Muree with my friends and the six of us were absolutely delighted with the experience. We felt like little children, these light oily things covering us a in a thin coat of white and failing on the roads in a white icy carpet.
We picked up some, rolled them into balls and pelted each other with snowballs. Before long, other people on the streets were also doing the same and to put it lightly, it snowballed into a carnival.
It was one of the most excited and beautiful sights I have ever seen. It was freezing cold but we didn't quite core as long as we could feel those light little flakes cherish us. I short I have to stop here for now. Please write to me when you get this mail.
Yours faithfully
Abdullah Farooq
