NAZAR
On the phone
Dadiâs voice crackles
as she says
All this must be caused by nazar.
Before we had wealth,
before we had health.
Now weâre struggling.
Nazarâ
Urdu word for
the evil eye.
Dadi tells Mom
We had money,
a strong and complete family,
now we donât.
DADIâS OPINION
Before, when we were rich
and Dada Abu was healthy
and our family was together,
maybe we were too happy.
Maybe we flaunted it
and now weâre floundering.
On the phone Dadi says,
Be careful what you share,
who you share joy with.
Not everyone
is happy for you . . .
