Dear Sanju baba,
I'm writting this slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when
you left home. Your Pa read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20
minutes of your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the
last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have
to change their address.
This place is really nice. I even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works so well,
though, Last week I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain, we haven't seen it since.
The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and
the second time for fourdays.
About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle said it would be too heavy to send in
the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
Bablu locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him
two hours to get me and your father out.
Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if
you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks just like your brother.
Uncle Rakesh fell into a swimming pool last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he
fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated; he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Bablu was driving. He rolled
down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back, they
drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down. I am now closing this letter and will
share more good news with you again next time.
Your Favorite Aunt,
P.S...If this letter does not reach you, please let me know, I will send u another.
Regards,
Seetha Pillai

About Me
- Chase your passion not your pension
- I feel very strongly against terrorism and violation of human rights, acts of violence/exploitation against women and children should have the capital punishment,in my view, anywhere in the world. My approach is probably too direct, and mostly i am brutally straightforward and bluntly to the point in matters of expressing my feelings, people who can handle that find an invaluable friend in me. So what! im still a diehard hopeless romantic with faith & patience LOL My next 5year plan is to go backpacking around the world staring with europe, collecting friends and spreading smiles as i go.
