Dear Diary,
What should I do? My lousy father is drunk and my poor mother is sick!I feel so sad! My father owes the two evil brothers money as he borrows them to buy toddy. Instead of earning money for the family, he uses it and owes people depts! That is why now, I am the sole breadwinner of the family. I so do wish that Father had not sold the boat and bought even more beer as now, I cannot even go fishing! I also feel very confused. My friend said that there was some sort of factory that is coming to our little village. I wonder if I can work there. However, I do not think that I am able to do so as I did not receive any form of education. Perhaps I could also fish in Biju's new boat that he is so proud of. However, I do not think it is safe as it might not be as hardy as it seems. Ah ha! I know what to do! I can just run away from home, go to the Bombay and try to earn money there! If I do that, maybe I can earn enough money to support my family! But as much as I want to earn money, I do not want to go there as I will definitely miss Lila, Bela, Kamal, and Mother. I do not want to think about them anymore, as that will make me feel very sad, having to leave them. Anyway, who cares? The two brothers killing Pinto by poisoning it was the last straw. I cannot stand it anymore. Well, I'd better pack up and leave for Bombay!
Love,
Hari

I feel Hari is very poor thing because he is treated like a young adult! He is very young and he needs to play the role of an adult by earning money and taking care of his sisters. I feel that i am very lucky because i have plenty of food to eat and i have a nice family. i can also go to school to learn more things while Hari needs to go and work! All the way- Hari!~
