 the balcony is so refreshing,
as well as
 the living space is so colourful and pretty. I really had a great time staying with your family. Let me explain in more detail. The food at your place is delicious.
Although
 your mom always used to give you tasty tiffin during our school days, getting to taste that again was indeed awesome.
Moreover

 era of social media, I think it is important that we come out of that zone and have some meaningful conversations with family members. Can we please meet up again in the next month? There is a long weekend in the 3rd week. I am fine if you come down to my place, or else I can visit yours. Let’s just again relive those golden memories. I look forward to hearing from you. Your Friend, Shreya
