Answers
Grandmother: Hasn’t any one gone yet to fetch the Tantarik?
Granddaughter: Dear Granny, we should rather call a doctor!
Grandmother: Doctor can’t do anything in this case! Your brother has been running fever for more than a week. If it were in doctor’s power to heal him, he would have healed him by now. In spite of the medicines, he continues to be ill. It is the Tantrik only who can exorcise the evil spirit from him.
Granddaughter: Granny it is not any spirit that is torturing my brother; may be his disease has not been rightly diagnosed. He must be immediately hospitalized. He will be alright within a few days. If we further delay, his condition may deteriorate.
Grandmother: You stop talking nonsense, child. I am telling you out of my experience only a Tantrik can heal him.
Granddaughter: Granny, please stop being adamant. Science has proven there are viruses or bacteria behind all types of diseased and they can be treated clinically. So, let’s take him to the hospital.
Grandmother: OK, let’s hurry then!
