Answer 2

Looking at her mother, the author saw the life in her fading away, her mother looked pale and lifeless while the merry children were young and symbolised life. Kamala Das can't help but look at how happy they were. She can't help but compare the environment inside the car and outside it. (HOPE IT HELPS)
