Dear Simran,

I read your letter and noticed how curious you are to know about the "Statue of Unity" established in my city Vodadara, India.

The statue is of our first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India. His name is Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. It was inaugurated on 31st of October, 2018 by our current prime minister Narendra Modi.

The statue is noted as the world's tallest. The height is 600 feets and is located on the river Narmada in Vadodara city. The cost of building it is 2,700 crore in Indian rupees. Since the goverment has allowed visitors to visit this beautiful place, people have gathered in huge number.

As my father is a politician, we were invited to attend the inauguration ceremony. It started with welcoming our current prime minister, followed by singing our national anthem and waving our national flag. Thereafter our prime minister revealed the enormous statue by pulling a rope which was tied with the cloth placed on it. Lastly we saluted the gigantic statue and a feeling of pride emerge in all the people present there. I wish you were here at that time, but once you visit India I am taking you there for sure. Hope to see you soon.

Yours loving,

Rahul

Having a healthy lifestyle has become very important in current times. People do not give enough importance to their health and as a result the average age is decreasing drastically. The way to having a healthy life goes through having a decent diet, staying fit by doing enough exercise and mainly to stay less stressed. This essay will discuss these factors in detail.

In my country people have a very unhealthy diet which is one of the main reason of not having a healthy and long life. Our food has large amount of oil, so many spices in greater quantity which affects the health immensely. The cholesterol level increases and people tend to have heart attacks often. To change the diet style should be a utmost priority for the people of my country.

With having a good diet keeping our body and mind fit is also important. Exercising regulary whether it may be going to the gym and lifting weights, or just to tak a jog around for 40-60 minutes regularly is very important. I should definitely mention that the people of my country do a very good job to keep their minds peaceful and stay less stressed by opting to do yoga on daily basis. Yoga is an ancient form of medidating as well as streching in different positions to keep all our body parts fit and healthy. Swami Vivekandan was the person who gave this art to our country in the year 1893. Most of the people in my country choose yoga as their primary option to stay fit and healthy.

In conclusion, different people around the world have different factors to live a healthy life. One can choose any but it is important to implement in it and to stay healthy from the inside as well as outside.
