The Patriarch,The Matriarch

Though they had been our father and our mother,yet we,the seven off-springs of The Family Tree,their descendants,all seven of us(four sisters,three brothers )survived their domineering attitude towards their children as they disciplined us physically as well as teaching us the prevalent customs of our community(Rajput).We loved the village,(Pangoli).Most of the time ,we loafed around,ate wild berries(Garne),mangoes,black berries,mulberries,oranges and many more fruits like melons,water-melons and pomegranate.Astounded?This is The Truth and nothing but The Truth!Those were the days of abundance.Whichever house we visited,the people fed us!We tried to be away from our house as The Parents,our patriarch and our matriarch did frighten us!They have left the world but we still forego our miseries,our sorrows,our dismays,when our thoughts torment us!Had they been lenient we could not have survived!We salute you dearest daddy,affectionate mummy!We'll love you perpetually!


Forever yours,your affectionate daughter
Slaria
