I would not generalize about any one community like that.<br /><br />And I totally agree, life was much simpler!aneri_masihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363429426292603118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187564373892064473.post-79719438377304542192010-11-12T10:22:06.343-08:002010-11-12T10:22:06.343-08:00Good story, and incredible woman to have made the ...Good story, and incredible woman to have made the hard choice at a time when it was certainly not the norm and required a lot more courage than people might imagine. <br /><br />I wonder if at some point she regretted the decision. It's got to be hard to give up a life of luxury and settle for penury, especially with no upside and hard knocks that life gives you. <br /><br />Hopefully it was true love and it lasted her all her life. <br /><br />On a similar note, a friend of mine, coming from a rich marwari family, married into another wealthy marwari family, made the 'mistake' of having a girl as the first child, and was pretty much ostracized by her in-laws, the birth of a second girl bought about physical abuse. <br /><br />So your 'aunty' was probably the smart one of the two. <br /><br />The story really takes me back in the day though, when life was so simple and uncomplicated. Such a far cry from the hurly burly of 'civilization' today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187564373892064473.post-55070520197971159482010-11-12T08:32:39.570-08:002010-11-12T08:32:39.570-08:00Srinivas, I don't think virtue has a nationali...Srinivas, I don't think virtue has a nationality.

Very "sunshiny" as you say. :)<br /><br />I admire that quality a very few have, of always finding it in themselves to see the brighter side of things - my mom is one of them - I dunno how they do it. In everything that comes their way. That is so admirable. <br /><br />Your aunty must be still gliding in mirth as she used to always, wherever she is. :)<br /><br />I hope you inquired about her to your mom?Cinderellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977943098333681922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187564373892064473.post-68276898229672300602010-11-08T02:30:16.138-08:002010-11-08T02:30:16.138-08:00It was so sweet of u to tell us about her.
