General Forum: Love | | A letter from sardar's mother to sardar. :) | |
| Pyare puttar,
Vahe guru, I am writing this letter slow, because I know you cannot read fast.
We don't live where we did when you left home. Your Dad read in the papers that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles away. I won't be able to send the new address as the last sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they wouldn’t have to change their address. This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the commode. I am not sure if it work's well. Last week I put in three shirts, pulled the chain & haven’t seen them since. The weather here isn’t too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first it rained for 3 days & second time for 4 days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off & put them in the pocket. Your Father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting grass at the cemetery. Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an aunt or an uncle.
Your uncle Jitender fell in the near by well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely & drowned. We cremated him & he burned for three days. Your best friend Balwinder is no more. He died trying to fulfill his father’s last wishes. His father had wished to be buried in the sea after he died. Your friend died while in the process of digging a grave for his father. There isn’t much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.
Love,
MOM.
Ps: I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed
