Dear Neelam,
I got your letter yesterday and I became extremely happy knowing about your new flat. Now I am going to write you about my new flat.
As you know that I am away from my house for my study. I am living in a new flat here in Nepalgunj. This is the first time I have ever left my house. I am living here alone in my room. In the beginning I felt home sickness, but now I don’t feel so. I am happily living here. My room is in a second flat of new house. My room is very good for my study as it if quiet and it is very bright. All the people in my flat are college students. They are very helpful and cooperative. They always help me in difficulties and they always ask me if I have any problem.
If you have free time, you can come to my flat to stay for some days. I hope I will get your reply soon.
Yours
Bidhan Sharma
