GROUP 1 - FAMILY LIFE
MIRAS 3 GENERATIONS
GRANDMOTHER - SAROJ(89YRS)
We were a nuclear family of 7,
my grandparents, parents, 2
brothers and I, who loved each
other very much. I was the only
daughter and was spolit by my
father. My parents gave me an
education and taught me other
basic skills. The most important
event that I remember was
Indias Independence. I was 14
years at the time. My family and
I used to talk about many things
and they were willing to answer
almost every question that I
asked them.
FATHER - PARTH (51YRS)
I grew up with my father, mother, and
sister, we were a family of four and we
lived in Mumbai. We had a huge
extended family of over 80 people and
each person is extremely important to
me. The values I think that define our
family is a strong sense of right, doing
what is good for each other and the
world and at the same time having
independent individualistic thinking. I
fondly remember India winning the
cricket world cup all those years ago.
From being ranked last to winning
against West Indies was a huge
accomplishment
 MIRA (14YRS)
I grew up with my father, mother, and sister,
we are a family of four and we live in Mumbai.
My family is extremely imortant to me, not
only beaucse of all that they do for me but
the memories I have with them. They taught
me to respect others, treat them with kindness
and look at everything with an open mind. I
can talk to them about anyhting and
everything and I am very grateful for them. I
think the biggest event that has happened in
my life was the lockdown. It is something that
changed us. not just my mindset but our way
of learning and living.
