My dear friend 

You must have wondered why I haven’t written to you for such a long time. I am sorry, I couldn’t write because I was down with fever, wheezing and cough for almost fifteen days and have been suffering greatly. I was so weak, I couldn’t get out of bed. The cause of my ailment was due to long hours commuting to school and back home.

I have to spend a harrowing time on the way to school and back due to Bangalore’s notorious traffic jams and extremely polluted air. You know I have to take a bus to reach school and travelling by public transport itself is like hell. I have often been punished for being late to school. However early I leave home to school I get stuck in traffic jams. I have to spend nearly forty – five minutes to an hour to reach school. 

This has affected my heatlh, psychology and studies also. The polluted air of Bangalore has taken a toll on my health and I barely score enough marks to get through tests and exams. I am often tired even to have food and go to bed directly as soon as I come back home late and extremely tired. Even after I get down at the busstop, it nearly takes five to ten minutes to cross the road to reach the school due to stress. I can’t consentrate on lessons and often been scolded for not paying attention at school.

have asked my father to admit me at a nearby school. So that I can walk to school, saving precious time for studies.

I hope you are keeping well. Do write to me as early as you can. Study hard. 

Love from

Sumit
