Question

We protested. But she ignored our protests. She lay peacefully in bed playing and

telling her beads. Even before we could suspect, her lips stopped moving and the rosary

fell from her lifeless fingers . A peaceful pallor spread on her face and we knew that she

was dead.

Military and her off the bed and, as is customary, laid her on the ground and covered her

with a red shroud. After a few hours of mourning, we left her alone to make arrangements

for her funeral. In the evening we went to her room with a crude stretcher to take her to be

cremated. The sun was setting and had lit her room and veranda with the blaze of golden

light. We stopped halfway in the courtyard . All over the verandah and in her room right

up to where she lay dead and stiff wrapped in the red shroud, thousands of sparrows that

scattered on the floor. There was no chirruping. We felt sorry for the birds and my mother

fetched some bread for them. She broke it into little crumbs, the way my grandmother

used to, and threw it to them. The Sparrows took no notice of the bread. When we carried

my grandmother‟s Corpse off, they flew away quietly. Next morning the sweeper swept

the bread crumbs into the dustbin.
