MUMTAZ'S SWEETS
OH, HOW ARE YOU?
COME,
SIT SIT!
”I AM A LITTLE BUSY TODAY. YOU SEE, MY BROTHER AND HIS WIFE HAVE COME FROM THE VILLAGE, TO VISIT ME!“
”HERE, MY MOTHER MADE THESE WITH HER OWN HANDS“
​
”SHE ISN'T KEEPING SO WELL. DESPITE US TELLING HER TO REST, SHE SPENDS MOST OF HER TIME IN THE KITCHEN“
”I AM REALLY GLAD TO BE MEETING BHAI, IT HAD BEEN SO LONG!“
​
”I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE FROM HOME IN A LOT OF TIME.
THE LAST TIME I WENT TO MY VILLAGE WAS FIVE YEARS AGO“
IF I GO, WHO WILL GO WORK AT THE KHATTA? WHO WILL MAKE UP FOR THOSE DAYS?
”THERE ARE ONLY A FEW PEOPLE I STILL TALK TO. WE DID HAVE A BIG FAMILY, BUT YEARS AGO THAT CAME CRASHING DOWN“
”MY UNCLES HAD CHEATED MY FATHER OF ALL HIS MONEY.“
“IF THAT HADN'T HAPPENED, WE WOULD NEVER HAVE COME TO THE CITY“
​​“EVEN WITH A SMALLER FAMILY NOW, I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE GIFTS FOR EVERYONE. LAST TIME, ALL THIS COST ME 10,000 RUPEES!“
“IF I DON'T TAKE ANYTHING, WHAT WILL EVERYONE SAY? SHE DIDN'T GET US ANYTHING FROM DILLI! HOW BAD WILL THAT SOUND?!“
“HERE, HAVE A FEW SWEETS“
