My dog only eats table scraps, therefore he is spoiled
Dear Aunt.
I'm writing this letter to tell you about Grandma's 90th birthday. Do you believe that she has come this far in life? we are also silly about this event, as it is a blessing that we have it for so long in our lives.
The celebrations started early here and almost the whole family participated. Grandma is very proud of her age and it is a pity that you were unable to attend, as I believe she would have had as much fun as we did.
We stayed up late, including grandma who told many stories about her life. The food was delicious and the company very pleasant.
I hope to celebrate another grandma's birthday next year and I hope you will participate, as we miss you very much.
With love.
Milly Dean.
Answer:
The book "Nectar in a Sieve" takes place in India, where the practice of giving dowries is extremely common. A dowry, in Indian culture, is a sum of money attached to a woman of marrying age to be given to her husband/husband's family when they get married.
The larger the dowry the better, because more respectable and promising men tend to receive the brides with the largest dowries. However, if the woman is exceptionally attractive, they may still be able to catch the eye of the more promising men. In the novel, Rukmani describes herself as having no dowry and having little beauty. Because of this, she ends up betrothed to a poor farmer, and her prospects are extremely limited. Her daughter, Ira, however, is able to marry significantly above her station, as she is considered very beautiful.
So, in most cases, a dowry will determine your fate and how well of a life you will be able to live later on. In some cases, though not often, you can rise above this fate.
It all depends on ur personality , either way is fine
