टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

After marriage, a family is referred to as a "nuclear family." Usually, it consists of a married couple sharing a home with their children. Throughout the world, the nuclear family is the most prevalent kind of family structure and is frequently regarded as the fundamental unit of modern society. That being said, extended families, which comprise grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, might also play a significant role in family life in some cultures and communities.

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.
