However, of late, I get ambushed by her as soon as I get home.
She started telling me a story about how her daughter refuses to get married. I know she speaks in basic Hindi deliberately so I get it. After 10 minutes of story I decided to pull out my phone and start taping discretely. Knowing her, she might actually know I'm taping.
Camera or not, she is a very animated story teller.
I just say "Ha" during her pauses and laugh on cue.
Please note the end where she mumbles "Bye beta. Haha, I talk like an American" as I shut the door.
Sorry for the shakiness.
Rough translation:
ReplyDeleteShe is talking about her kids. She is saying three (two boys and one girl) are of an age where they should get married.
She is hoping that something will workout. There have been many meetings from well connected relatives.
One is a driver, makes Rs.8000 salary. Says we have enough income to eat nicely (merci of god). Talks about what her son likes to eat. She is joking about his habit to eat Channa, she says you must be a horse it is a food for animals.
She is indeed very sweet with a positive attitude towards life.
