Answer 1

Kabuliwala deals with the theme of human relationship on different levels .First and the foremost relationship portrayed here is the relation between Minni and her father.Minni is a chatter box and her father, a patient listener .However his father (the narrator ) is a busy person and can spare a little time for her daughter..Another relationship that develops with the progress of the plot is the relationship between Minni and the Kabuliwala .He is a father-like figure and patiently listens to Minni's questions and answers them .Minni ,in her childhood makes friends with the people who work in her house and are mostly elder than her.But as she grows older all her elderly male friends are replaced by girls of her own age .She almost stopped spending time with her father .This showed the decelopment in the understanding of the girl as she understood that she had to make friends of her own age group.And with the passage of time she also forgot the Kabuliwala..
  another example of improvement of understanding is that she did not know tha meaning of "in-laws" and used to joke on that.but when Kabuliwala comes to meet her in the end of the story,she is matured enough to understand the meaning of in-laws .So she didnot answer the way she used to do.and turned purple with shame.
