In the seventeenth chapter of my novel, Pratap Singh was jumping off the high balcony
of the jailhouse at this time, with Kanchanmala, into the river below in the dark of
night.
Stopping her game abruptly, Mini ran to the window which overlooked the
Main road, and began calling out at the top of her voice, ‘Kabuliwala, O Kabuliwala!’
1. Who is Mini? Briefly state some of her characteristics?
The narrator’s five-year old daughter Mini is a chatty girl and likes to talk all day
long. It took her about a year after being born to acquire the talent for language, and
since then she has not wasted a single wakeful moment of her life remaining silent.

who is Mum to you?’ Sister-in-law, he thought to himself, but to avoid the
complicated question he asked Mini to go and play with Bhola.
3. What can we conclude about her father’s profession from the above reference?
We can conclude that Mini’s father is a novelist.
4. How did Mini pass her time while her father was preoccupied with his work?
Mini flopped beside the writing table, close to her father’s feet, and began to play a
game of knick-knack with her hands and knees, rapidly chanting a nursery rhyme.
5. Stopping her game abruptly, Mini ran to the window which overlooked the
main road. What was her reaction on looking out of the window?
