Interview on Migration

I interviewed my mother. She was born in Tami Nadu, Udangudi in 1982. At that time our village was poor, The population was approximately 13 to 14 thousand people. Our village is famous for Karupatti. It is very healthy. In our village people mostly use karupatti instead of sugar. It is delicious. In english they call it Palm Jaggery. My grandfather was the panchayat of the area where my mother lived. She also said that her school was 5km away from her house. She used to walk with a yellow jute bag with all her books inside it. My mother got married and she migrated to Bangalore as my father lived in Bangalore. She said that she missed her father, mother and her sisters, friends and the village. When she came to bangalore everything was new to her. She did not know the language.The best thing is that, it will be a new expireance and to see new places. The bad thing is that she misses her father, mother, etc. Interview by : Tanweer
