Dear Rakesh,
How are you? I hope you are doing well and enjoying the festive season. I am writing to invite you to celebrate Diwali with me and some other friends at my place.
Diwali is a time of joy and happiness, and I want to share it with you. I have planned some innovative activities for us to have fun and make this Diwali memorable. Here are the details:
- Time and place: The celebration will start at 11 a.m. on 30th December, 2023 at my apartment. You can come by bus, train, or cab. My address is given above.
- Special dish: I have prepared a special dish for you and our friends. It is a delicious paneer tikka masala with garlic naan. I know you love paneer, so I hope you will enjoy it.
- Other friends: I have also invited some of our common friends from school and college. They are Anjali, Rohit, Priya, and Karan. They are all excited to meet you and celebrate Diwali with you.
- Innovative activities: I have arranged some innovative activities for us to do after lunch. We will play Diwali bingo, where we will mark the items related to Diwali on a card and try to get a bingo. We will also make some DIY lanterns using paper, glue, and candles. We will decorate our apartment with these lanterns and light them up in the evening. We will also have a Diwali quiz, where we will test our knowledge about the festival and its history. The winners will get some Diwali chocolates as prizes.
- Post lunch fun programmes: After we finish our activities, we will have some post lunch fun programmes. We will watch a comedy movie on Netflix and laugh together. We will also sing some Diwali songs and dance to them. We will also exchange some Diwali gifts and wish each other a happy and prosperous Diwali.
I hope you will accept my invitation and join me for this Diwali celebration. Please reply to this letter and let me know if you can come. I am looking forward to seeing you and spending some quality time with you.
Your friend,
Pinky/Prakash Mishra.
