Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

This is the personal essay about the writer’s love for his home city, Delhi. It opens with the writer fondly

recapturing the childhood experience of returning to the city after holidaying in hill stations.

The memory includes rituals like drinking tea at a wayside station and dropping coins into the Yamuna River for

luck as the train reaches Delhi. The city looks beautiful in the early morning mist, like a Mughal miniature

painting. Delhi belongs not only to the writer but to the different lines of invaders who ruled it from time to time

enriching it with their architecture and cuisine. The most long-lasting of these is the culture of the Mughals.

The rest of the essay is a description of the lifestyle in the writer’s ancestral home of his grandfather. The

general impression is one of strong familial ties that hold a joint- family together. Though the set-up was

patriarchal as was typical during those days, the women of the household enjoyed the freedom to play tennis

though in private. The extended family went out on picnic to ancient monuments in Delhi during which the

grandfather told the grandchildren about the greatness of their city connecting them to their heritage.

As is natural with memories of childhood, the writer remembers the food that was laid out at such times of

family togetherness and says that the daily menu of the local people has not changed much since then.
