Her mother says, ‘years ago, after doing all the housework in the morning,
I used to go to my teaching job. On the way back, I would often meet up with
friends – but had to lie to my mother-in-law as she would have gotten angry if
she had found out that I had not come straight home.’
Around another dinner table with her aunt and my
sister-in-law – her brother’s wife. ‘Your wife’s grandmother often used to get
angry. And no one knew what would set her off.’
Her own father: ‘She gets her anger from my mother. You see,
that is why I am always jittery.’
Her own mother: ‘She is a bit of a possessive and moody
woman - khandanni.’
