Guest Blogger - My Dad

I got an email from my dad yesterday which he took in India. He and mom now live in Bangalore having left Singapore about 3 years ago to retire there. My dad was born in Karachi before the partition and hence still considered India (it's Pakistan now). That's another story for another day. My mom was born in Singapore.

Unfortunately the file size of the picture is quite small. The email came with this narrative.

SHE IS A BEAD-NECKLACE MAKER,
SALESLADY(Rps100/- for 3)
MOTHER,
MODEL (Takes Rps10/-to pose)
& PART TIME BEGGER.
ABOVE ALL, AS HER SMILE REVEALS, SHE IS HAPPY.

That I guess is India in a Nutshell
