Answer 2

The grandmother used to recite her prayers in the morning so that the author could learn them by heart. However, the author listened to them for very different reasons. He loved his grandmother’s voice but never cared to learn them.

The grandmother always went to school with the author as the temple in which she used to offer her prayers was close to the school. Here, she went with the author and the priest gave them knowledge of the alphabets and the morning prayer.

However, many things changed when they moved to a city. Firstly, the grandmother found herself to be very helpless as she could no longer help the author in his lessons as everything was in English. She was also quite unhappy about the schools not teaching the students about Hindu scriptures and Gods. She also did not encourage things like music being taught in school as music was not meant to be learnt by decent and sober people.
