A British doctor says “Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man put it in another and have him looking for work in six weeks.”
A German doctor says, “That’s nothing, we can take a lung out of one person put it in another and have him looking for work in four weeks.”
A Russian doctor says, “In my country medicine is so advanced we can take half a heart out of one person put it in another and have them both looking for work in two weeks.”
The American doctor, not to be outdone, says, “You guys are way behind, we just took a man with no brain out of Texas, put him in the White House, and now half the country is looking for work, and the other half preparing for war.”
Vahe Guru.
I am in a well here and hoping you in the same 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 wont 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, so that our address will remain same too.
This place is really nice.It even has a washing machine,situated right above the commode. I am not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and havent 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.
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.
By the way I took bahu to our club’s poolside.The manager is badmash. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in this club.We were confused as to which piece should we remove?
Your sister had a baby this morning.I haven’t found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don’t know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.
Your uncle, Jetinder 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 fathers 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.
P.S : Beta, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.
