Vanessa frequently complains of getting terrible headaches and therefore ends up at the nurse's office several times a week. yet two different physicians have been unable to find a cause for vanessa's headaches, and vanessa's parents report that their daughter rarely has headaches at home. vanessa is falling further and further behind in her schoolwork, so vanessa's teacher and parents meet with the nurse and school psychologist to brainstorm possible solutions to vanessa's problem. the school psychologist suggests that the teacher keep track of the occasions when vanessa complains about a headache. two weeks later, the teacher reports that all of vanessa's complaints occur just before a test or difficult assignment. suddenly the teacher and parents begin to suspect that perhaps vanessa complains of headaches as a way of getting out of difficult schoolwork. here we see the initial steps in a process known as:

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
