This
is a letter from a Sardarjee mother to her son.
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 your home, so we moved. I won't be able
to send you the address as the last Sardar who stayed
here took the house numbers with them for their next 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 now whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.
Your uncle, Jatinder 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, 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 sat shree
akal.
Mom.
P. S : I was going to send you some money but the
envelope was already sealed.
