Answer:
Mehmood was a very old person who was from the time of Nawabs. He had two sons, one stuck in Pakistan due to the partition and the other staying close by. He had a close relationship with his grandson Ali. They had a strong understanding. Mehmood can also be compared to the ancient banyan tree with his hands twisted like the roots of the tree. He was a person who didn't like the struggling modern world where people cared only for themselves and money, rather he liked the past world where people cared for all and had free time and people didn't run behind money.
