Dear John,
I'm writing to you regarding the new zoo for penguins that recently opened in my city Mumbai, which attracted a lot of news coverage locally and internationally. One of the reasons for it's large coverage is the fact that penguins are traditionally found near the Arctic and are not suited to a country like India, due to it's hot weather.
However, I can assure you that the aquarium is sufficiently cooled to negative temperatures and there are huge crowds on weekends. This can extend to families and even young teenagers as well.
I'm sure you know of my interest in wildlife photography since childhood, so I had the opportunity of going last weekend and snapping a few photography of some adult penguins, including the eggs they hatched.
I'll be sure to send the photographs to you digitally by email, so let me know of your next trip to Mumbai, so I can show around the aquarium.

If you ever pick up your local newspaper, it's quite concering to read that obesity levels around the world may triple to the year 2050. Ensuring a good diet, plenty of exercise and avoiding stress are some of the most important ways in staying fit healthily, physically and emotionally.
In today's world, corporate employees often speak on changing professions due to the stress, tension and increasing levels of competition. Since this may be quite difficult, incorporate small changes in your everyday routine that can be an impact on your health. This can be as simple as going for an hour's walk in the mornings, which boosts creativity and reduces stress.
Performing yoga and meditation is also beneficial for the mind as it boosts your hormones and sleep cycle which is efficient to working productively. Zumba, a popular dance form in latin countries is spreading around the world which combines dance and exercise for young people. This attracts young working women which can also help and build relationships with strangers as well.
Since my job primarily caters to product support in a night shift, I unfortunately do not devote enough time to exercise in the mornings, as I feel quite tired and lethargic. Since this has started to impact my health, I recently took up an hour's walk in the park in evenings, which helped boost my mind and hormone levels.
Finally, ensure you stick to a sugar-free diet consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables, which can help you stay productive and focused for the duration of the day.
