Dear Oishy,
I am glad to receive your letter. Hope you are
well. You wanted to know about my first visit to
Dhaka. Here I am writing you about it.
Last month I visited Dhaka with my elder
brother. One of my uncles lives there for job
purpose. We stayed at his house. In the next
morning, my uncle took us to Gulshan. We were
surprised to see the tall buildings. My uncle
could read our mind and explained the
necessity of such tall buildings in Dhaka. He
told us that there are groceries, shops, banks,
libraries, university as well as apartments.
Many families live there. Next day, we went to
visit the national museum at Shahbag. After
staying there about a week we returned our
village home.
Hope to hear from you soon. With best wishes,
Your friend,
Fahima.
