Question

passage given
Exchanging pleasantries with people he met on the way. Bayaji reached the public
building called Takkya in the untouchables' settlement. The buliding was named Buddha
Vihar by those who had embraced Buddhism. As bayaji neared Buddha Vihar, the children,
who were playing with a ball made of rags, finished their game and cried out, 'Baiju Nana is
here, Baiju Nana is herel and scampered in the direction of Bayaji's house. Bayaji's eighty-
five-year-old mother quickly scrambled to her feet. She had aged much but her old-
worn
frame was still sturdy, and her teeth were strong enough to break grams. She could thread a
needle without help. When she heard of Bayaji's arrival her heart swelled.
As Bayaji came in, his wife concealed her joy with the end of her sari and took down
the box from his head. His grandchildren clung to him and began to twist the folds of his
dhoti. The neighbouring children watched the scene in idle curiosity.
"Come, get into the house, children!' said Bayaji. His mother walked out with a bent
back and told Bayajl to wait outside the door. Bayaji obeyed.
The old women came forward, poured some water over the piece of bread in her
hand, moved it around Bayaji's face and flung it away as an offering. She ran her palms over
his cheeks and pressed her fingers on her temples. All elght fingers gave out a cracking
sound,
Bayaji's family was doing well. He had eight children in all six sons and two
daughters. The daughters had been married off and had given birth to children. The elder
son looked after the fields, next two sons were in government service, the one after them
was a school teacher and the sixth one was still studying. Since they knew that Bayaji was
coming home for good, the elder son in service and the two daughters were already home
to greet him. All of them wondered what their father had got for them from his lifetime
earnings.
