The first phase of the author’s relationship with his grandmother was when the
author’s parents went to live in the city and left him with his grandmother. She
took utmost care of him right from waking him up in the morning to getting him
ready for school. They were always together and enjoyed an easy
companionship.
The second phase was when the author’s parents asked them to come to the
city. This was the time when Khushwant Singh’s relationship with his
grandmother changed. The author went to an English school. She could no
longer accompany him nor could she help him in his studies. She continued
getting him ready for school and asking him about his studies, as they shared
the same room. However, she rarely talked to him after learning that he was
learning music at school. Slowly the friendship between them weakened.
The third phase came when the common link of friendship, the room they
shared, snapped when the author moved to the University and was given a
room of his own. His grandmother accepted her seclusion with resignation.
