Question

When I decided to go abroad for further studies, I was sure my grandmother would be

upset. I would be away for five years, and at her age one could never tell. But my

grandmother could. She was not even sentimental. She came to leave me at the railway

station but did not talk or show any emotion. Her lips moved in prayer, her mind was lost

in prayer. Her fingers were busy telling the beads of her rosary. Silently she kissed my

forehead, and when I left I cherished the moist imprint as perhaps the last sign of physical

contact between us.
