A letter From a Punjabi Mother( India) to her son

My dear ............ ...... Singh,

I am in a well here and hoping you are also in a 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 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 would not have to
change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our
earlier address plate here, and that our address will remain same too.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right
above the toilet 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
time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.

Ok, bye for now, I have to search for those three shirts again.

Warm regards,
Your first and only Mother,
Mitro Kaur.

(Just got this from a friend...no offence to anyone or hurting any sentiments..)
