Answer:

The author’s grandmother was a very old and gracious lady. She hobbled about in the house, one hand resting on her waist to balance herself. She carried a rosary in her other hand. The author could not believe that she had once been a child playing games or a young lady who was married and had children.

Explanation:

  • Grandma to the author was an elderly and kind woman. She shuffled about the house while supporting herself by placing one hand on her waist. The other hand she held a rosary. The author found it difficult to comprehend that she had ever been a young girl who enjoyed playing games or a young woman who was married and had kids. She was the author's sole caregiver in the village. In the morning, she gave the young boy a bath and food. prepared his inkpot and wooden slate for the trip to school.
  • She accompanied him as he attended the temple school to learn how to say the morning prayer and The priest's alphabet.
  • She read the scriptures while sitting there. Both of them gave stale chapattis to the neighbourhood dogs that followed them as they made their way back home.
  • Her routine and lifestyle underwent a significant change when the two were called to the city. She came close to losing the author as a friend. She was lonely. She quietly accepted it. By reciting prayers, playing the charkha, and feeding the sparrows in the late afternoon, she used her time. She enjoyed performing that.
  • Because he was now attending an English school, she was unable to assist him with his schoolwork or attend school herself, which weakened their friendship. Even the curriculum at the school didn't sit well with her. She still had a great love for her grandchild, though. She sang and played music to celebrate his return. The gap between rural and city life was mostly determined by circumstances.
