Sardar's letter to his mother
My dear mummy,
Vahe guru.
I am very sorry that I am so late in replying to your letter. You were
right, it took me fifteen days to read your letter. The last few lines
are yet to be read, so I do not know, whether it was your letter or
some
one else wrote to me. I am very slow in writing also. I do not know how
to write a letter properly . So I copied a letter written by a friend
to
his mother. But I copied the address also. Please do not mind for that.
I hope you have received that letter. You must have been confused after
getting that letter as to who really wrote that to you, since I copied
the sender's name and address also. So, I am trying to write again to
you. This time if I write my name wrongly, please be assured that it is
I only. I started writing this letter five days back. That was on
Monday. I'll try to finish it on coming Monday so that you'll think
that
I have written it on the same day. That will definitely surprise you.
I am taking the health tonic regularly. I always forget to shake the
bottle before taking the medicine. So I have to jump up and down
atleast
fifty times after taking the medicine. I hope, fifty times is good
enough? Here we have problems from mosquitoes. We are asked to use
mosquito nets. I am also using one. But even then I am attacked by
mosquitoes all night. So I have decided to allow all! the mosquitoes to
come inside the net, then I can sleep peacefully outside. That may take
few more months! . So, I have to bear this problem only for few more
months. I remember your advice to brush my teeth regularly. To save
time, I brush seven times on Sundays and I do not have to brush on
weekdays. If this letter does not reach you, please let me know
immediately, and I'll write another letter to you. If you do not
receive
my next letter also, please inform me. After that, I'll not post any
letters, but I'll personally go home and deliver the letters to you. I
am so sorry that you could not send some money, since the envelope had
been already sealed! I am sending the opened envelope, along with your
letter, again to you.
Please put the money this time. I am in need of money. Some friends
walked down from the city to the college campus to save money.
Joginder,
my sardar friend came running after a city bus to save Rs. 3., the city
bus fare! . But I came running after a taxi and saved Rs. 25., the taxi
fare. Afte! r saving Rs. 25 like that, I spent the money
in eating in a restaurant. Another Monday had come and gone. Today is
another Monday and I am able to finish my writing on the same day. Not
much to write, so many things are happening here that I have no time to
write.
Your son
