This is a letter from a Sardarni (mother) to her son... It is quite funny!!
Hello son!
I am in a well here and hoping you in the same well
there.
I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you
cannot read fast.
We don't live where we did when you left home. Your
dad read in the
newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from
home, so we moved 20
miles.
I wont be able to send the address as the last
Sardar who stayed here took
the house numbers with them for their new house so
they would not have to
change their address. Hopefully by next week we will
be able to take our
earlier address Plate here, so that our address will
remain same too.
This place is really nice.It even has a washing
machine,situated right above
the commode. I am not sure it works too well. Last
week I put in 3 shirts,
pulled the chain and havent seen them since. The
weather here isn't too bad.
It rained only twice last week. The first time it
rained for 3 days and
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 and
put them in the pocket.
Your father has another job. He has 500 men under
him. He is cutting The
grass at the cemetery.
By the way I took bahu to our club's poolside.The
manager is bad. He
told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed
in this club.We were
confused as to which piece should we remove?
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
Uncle.
Your uncle, fell in a the nearby well. Some
men tried to pull him
out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We
cremated him and he
burned for three days.
Your best friend, is no more. He died
trying to fulfil his
fathers last wishes. His father had wished to be
buried in the sea after he
died. And 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.
P.S : Son, I was going to send you some money but
by the time I realized, I
had already sealed off this letter.
