Dear Kamy, It's indeed nice to write to you after a long time and I hope you are doing well. As I told you, we have moved to Bangalore

last

month to join the new company. I am starting to enjoy the work and weather here.

However

, I haven't started exploring the city yet. With my parent's anniversary arriving in another two days, I would need your advice on finding the perfect restaurant for a celebration. They are usually fond of traditional cuisines, especially non-veg food of Chettinad style. It will be a real surprise for them to get

such

food in Bangalore. I am

also

planning to make them exchange rings to remember their wedding day, in a serene place with a beautiful garden. Doesn't it sound perfect and dreamy? I am so excited. I have a vague memory of you letting me know about one

such

restaurant, where even the entire hotel had

this

traditional atmosphere and food being wonderful. Could you please write me the choices available here? I will make the reservations right away upon your response. I know you will act immediately, you are

such

a charmer. Yours lovingly, Gowthami

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
