Answer:

In which chapter..........

Answer 2

‘His bag stuffed with books is falling apart’ tells us about how the father does not bother to buy anything new for himself and makes do with old, worn out  possessions.​

The poem 'Father Returning Home', by Dilip Chitre – a bilingual poet – is about a desolate elderly person's getting back home from a drawn-out day at work.

• The poet portrays his quiet and desolate excursion home in the jam-packed Mumbai neighborhood train. It is a similitude for the dad's detached life even though he is among individuals.  
• The poet discusses the 'unseeing' eyes on the view blazing past the train. The same thing the man sees day by day when driving has the same old thing, very much like his tiresome life.
• The setting is nightfall in a rainstorm. The man's dress and appearance are likewise figurative.
