Diary Entry
Diary writing is one of the most personal and informal categories of
writing. A diary writing can be based on an experience, a scene, a
description or narration of certain event or any other thing or activity
that the writer considers worth writing in his personal diary. In the
examination, the question on diary writing is aimed to test students’
imaginative, creative and expressive skills.

Dear Diary,

With the disintegration of the joint family system, the old people find themselves deserted
and alone. It is unfortunate that in the evening of their lives, they are not looked after by their
children. The concept of ‘Old homes’ is for such old people. I made it a point to visit the ‘Old Home’ at
Bhiwadi. The Home is situated at a peaceful place. The building is simple but spacious and clean. It
seems to be an ideal place for the senior citizens. A doctor visits the Home daily to check up the senior
citizens. There is a permanent nurse employed to look after and give them medicine on time. The
home has a good library and several means of recreation All the inmates showered their parental love
by insisting on having lunch with us. What a satisfying and rewarding visit it was to meet our
grandpaas and grannies!
Yours lovingly,
Sonu
