Answer:

Date: 2 June, 20XX
Dear diary,

Today I visited Jaisalmer with my parents. I saw the small and big forts there. Their architecture was very impressive. We went to see the desert, which is called Thar. We saw shifting sand dunes and enjoyed a camel ride, which was a lot of fun. We also saw local residents dressed in their traditional Rajasthani clothes. Later, we came back to the city and enjoyed a delicious meal of dal baati churma and kachori. We visited the city markets and did some shopping. My favourite part of the trip was definitely the golden-looking Thar desert; it was truly beautiful. During this trip, I learned that camels can blend in with the sand because of their similar color, making them appear invisible from a distance.

In simple words: I went to Jaisalmer with my family. I saw forts, deserts, and sand dunes. I rode a camel and ate local food like dal baati churma. My favourite part was the golden desert. I discovered that camels look invisible in the desert because of their sand-like color.

विभिन्न लोग विभिन्न बातें बताते हैं। किन्तु जब हमें उनके बारे में ठीक से ज्ञान होता है तो हमें पता चलता है कि उनकी कुछ बातें तो सही थीं पर सारी बातें सही नहीं थीं। अपने मित्र को वह बात बताइए जो आपको बताई गई थी किन्तु बाद में आपको पता लगा कि यह बात सही नहीं थी।

उदाहरणार्थ : जब मैं छोटा था तब मेरी दादीजी अक्सर मुझसे यह कहा करती थी कि यदि मैंने अपना संपूर्ण भोजन नहीं खाया तो एक ऊँट आयेगा और मुझे उठा ले जाएगा। बाद में, मुझे पता चला कि ऊँट केवल पौधों को ही खाते हैं और उन्हें इस बात से कोई मतलब नहीं है कि बच्चे अपना भोजन पूर्ण करते हैं या नहीं।
