essay on my favourite aunt/uncle
Answers
Answer:
Family is an important aspect of everybody’s lives and it forms an integral part of a person’s contribution to the society. Family nurtures values and builds up strength, love and trust among people.
In the olden days, large, joint families were part of every household and families stayed in close – knit units, which taught them values of caring and sharing and living happily together.
With the dawn of modernization, this concept of large family made way to smaller units and that is what we see today in urban set ups – the nuclear family.
This small unit of family, in most cases, has the father, mother and their children, living together under one roof.
The rest of the members who were part of the greater family in olden times – the elder parents and siblings now come under a different basket, which we call the extended family.
This extended family visits the nuclear family whenever time permits them to do so, during the weekends or during special family gatherings/ festival celebrations etc.
A part of this extended family consists of few uncles and aunts, grandpa, grandma and any other member of the family.
My uncle and aunt are staying in New Delhi after their marriage since my uncle works at a nationalized bank there and they had to move in, owing to my uncle’s transferrable job.
Before they moved in to Delhi, they used to stay with us at Bangalore, where we live together with our parents and grandparents.
My uncle’s children, a daughter who is 10 years old and a son who is 6 years old are studying in an international school at Delhi. My aunt works as a teacher at a reputed school there and manages the house as well.
