The First Step

Dear Ms Khot,

My name is John Calderone, and I am the associate editor of Outlook Delhi City Limits, a magazine that focuses on the city and what is happening in it.

We begin each issue with a section called Capital Letters, which are stories about Delhi written by its citizens. We generally let people write whatever they want to say about the city.

I had found your blog, Priyanka's Point, through a link on the Delhi Bloggers Group website, and I enjoyed your work, including the Delhi Photo Diary. So I was wondering if you would be willing to write a Capital Letter for the July issue of Delhi City Limits.

You could write about anything. The only two stipulations are that the letter be about Delhi and that it be about 500 words in length. A style similar to your "Delhi Smells, Mumbai Stinks" blog would be fine.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

John Calderone

Associate Editor

Outlook Delhi City Limits

Of course I jumped at the opportunity. You all would be happy to know that the following article was published in the July 14 issue of Outlook Delhi City Limits.
