....when a  newly arrived family in the neighborhood  moved in to a rented house abba ji  became friends with the widower  like himself  who  had also lost his wife, both were retired pensioners, he had three sons and two daughters, all the five of them were married off,recently he too got  married to a woman  whose only condition was she would live separately from hus sons,  the house belonged to him where he lived with his youngest and middle sons  and their families  but because of his newly wedded wife  he had moved into abba ji  s neighborhood in a rented house  to live separately from his family, abba ji heard him and commented it was a mistake to leave his house and sonsto live in rented house 
The new neighbor explained he was helpless  like a piece of furniture, one of the daughters in law was a doctor and son a banker,the other son and his wife both were teachers in the university,  one of the portions of the house was occupied by the middle son the other side was with the youngest, abba ji was dumped in the annexe, he had no control or command, food was given him there and he couldn't mix with them all, he  had raised them with his sweat and blood  but his condition was pathetic in his own house, the eldest lived in America  and got married to a white woman, one daughter was Australian citizen  second lived in the u k, and he  remained  left forgotten in the annexe alone
