Passage 1: [740 words]
Ever since I was a child of eleven, I had lived with and by the side of Tilak... What I am today is
because of him. If he wished to reach a goal, I was there to help him to it; if he wrote a poem I
was there to sing it; if he had to beg, I was there to carry the begging bowl...
But now he who had held the strings of my life had left me. A new world sprang up around me.
A new life began.
I could not live in Bombay by bhajans and kirtans. The missionaries offered me a job that was
made for widows. Most women who lose the prefix "Saubhagyawati” (married woman
automatically become matrons of girls' hostels. I became a matron at forty-five rupees a month
with spacious living space and permission to keep my family with me. I cannot describe my joy.
It is true Tilak was no more; but at least I had my children, Dattu and Baby, and my daughter-in-
law Ruth, with me...
