Sardar's mother's letter to sardar
Pyaarey puttar,
Vahe Guru. I' m 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
paper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles.
I won't 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 wouldn't have to
change their address.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine Situated right
above the commode. I'm not sure it works too well. Last Week I put in 3
shirts, pulled the chain and 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 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. Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found
out whether it' s a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt
or Uncle.
Your uncle, Jatinder fell in a the nearby oil 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, Balwinder, is no more. He died trying to Fulfil his
father' s 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.
