Answer :
In the short story 'The Portrait of a Lady' by Khushwant Singh, the grandmother had a well set routine at home. Her daily routine started with preparing breakfast for the author, getting her grandson ready for school and then accompanying him to the village school. On the way she would feel stale chapati to stray dogs. She would then go to the adjoining temple to offer her prayers and read the scriptures. When they had both finished, she would return home with the author.
Her routine changed drastically after she moved to the city. She would feed the sparrows in the afternoon and spend most of the day doing some cloth work at her spinning wheel.
