Answer 2

The author’s grandmother was an old woman. Her face was a criss-cross of wrinkles. She was fat, short and slightly bent. Her silvery white hair used to spread out on her wrinkled face. She hobbled about the house in spotless white clothes with one hand resting on her waist to balance her stoop and the other telling the beads of her rosary. Her lips constantly moved in silent prayer. For twenty years the author had seen no change in her looks and behavior. She was an extremely religious person. He finds it difficult to conceptualise that once she too was young and pretty like other women. The stories about her childhood games were like fairy tales to him.

The narrator and his grandmother were good friends. His parents had left him with her in the village. They were always together there. She used to wake him up in the morning, get him ready for the school, plaster his wooden slate with yellow chalk, prepare his breakfast and accompany him to the school. They fed street dogs with stale chapaties on their way to school which was a great fun for them. She helped him in his lessons also.

The turning point came in their relationship when the narrator came to city to stay with his parents. In city he joined an English School. Now she could not go with him to the school. In spite of her immense interest in his studies, she could not help him in his lessons as he was learning English, laws of gravity, Archimedes’ principle and many more such things which she could not understand and this made her distressed. Another thing which disquieted her much was that the kids were not learning about God and scriptures in the school instead they were given music lessons. To her music was not meant for gentlefolk. It was meant for beggars and prostitutes only. She was dismayed and withdrew herself to some level.
