Concept: Family and Kinship
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
|
I was born and raised in a large family in Ahmedabad where many members lived under the same roof. However, few months after I got married, my husband and I moved to Chennai. In the beginning, I enjoyed the privacy with my husband. But on certain occasions I also felt the absence of other family members around us along with their interactions and regular ‘interference’. As time passed by, I started feeling lonely and missed the crowd of relatives around me. I particularly remembered the fun-filled moments that I spent with my large family during festivals. My husband and I made good friends with few neighbours, but the loneliness remained. After the birth of both my children, I needed my mother and mother-in-law around to assist me for a while, but I had to manage on my own. Things became really difficult when I took up a job. I had to leave both my children in a day care centre. It was then that I most cherished the memories of my childhood spent with my family. |
