Rishtaydar ( relatives )...

[MIG]

Mine fall into 3 broad categories:

1. Useful as in help out in times of need - these are your "close" relatives

2. Friendly and stand offish - will meet at Eid or weddings and be generally nice to you ( with a promise to meet more often until next Eid or Wedding)

3. Downright unlikable ! Display jealousy and enmity for no rhyme or reason - always in competition and generally dislike you ( feeling being mutual)

Whats your experience? Are you part of a large, close knit family?
