Answers
Grandmother called all the women of the neighborhood and started to sing and dance along with them in order to celebrate the return of her grandson's homecoming. The author was coming back from abroad after five years which was the reason for the grandmother's happiness. She remained singing and thumping the drum continuously for many hours which ultimately became the reason for her sickness.
Answer:
'The Portrait of Lady' by Khushwant Singh illustrates the author's love and affection for his grandmother and recounts their beautiful relationship. The narrator pens down a portrait of his grandmother through the story. He describes a biographical note of his grandmother.
As per the question, the possible reasons of the grandmother falling ill is that she organizes a grand welcome for narrator's homecoming. She receives the narrator from the airport. After that, she celebrated the occasion of the narrator's return from abroad by singing songs of the homecoming of warriors with the ladies of the neighborhood on an old dilapidated drum for several hours continuously. This overstraining led her to fall ill and eventually leading to her death and separation from the narrator which marks an end to their bond and relationship.
