Question

character sketch of grandmother in earthquake in assam

Answer 1

Earthquake by Ruskin Bond is a short story covered in many of his short stories collections. This story talks about the famous earthquake of Assam and Bengal which took place on 12 June 1897. Surely, Ruskin wasn’t born then, but this story is about his grandfather and his father was a child then. His grandfather is in the habit of spending unnecessary time while bathing in a tub. Sometimes, he will sleep there or splash water like a child for hours. On the other hand, grandmother always expresses concern over his bathing habit, and instinctively she was sure that if the natural calamity strikes anytime then the grandfather will be found in the bathroom.
