Why didn’t Munnelal and Bannobi persuade Bashir to go back home?
Answers
Answer:
Bashir was leaving home. No one in the family understood him anyway. And he was sure no one would miss him. Not his Ammi or Abbu, nor his bhaijaan Khalid. Only his dog Chand would think of him, so to save him the pain, Bashir was taking Chand along with him. In this big wide world, there must be some place where a heart broken seven year old boy and his dog could live in peace.
Emptying out his school satchel Bashir packed a pair of shorts and his best blue shirt. He and Chand would need to eat something. So he stole two pieces of fish and a boiled potato from the kitchen and stuffed them in a side pocket. Finally he added a pencil to write letters home and a half-melted candle for the night. All the pocket money he had knotted into a handkerchief.
It was the pocket money that had started all the trouble that morning. Like every Friday, Abbu had given him two rupees to spend. Now Bashir wanted to buy that fantastic racing car he’d seen at the toy shop. He’d even gone and asked the price. Now all he wanted was a loan of his pocket money for the next fourteen weeks. But Abbu wouldn’t give it to him. So Bashir was going away.
Carrying his satchel, Bashir opened the front door and stepped into the gali and began walking towards the main Chandni Chowk road. At the corner, the paanwalla Munnelal looked up from putting lime on a row of paan leaves and said, “Arrey Bashir ustad, where are you going? Isn’t it summer holidays in your school?”
“Yes.” said Bashir shortly, “I’m going somewhere else.”
“Achha! Where?”
“To the railway station.” sighed Bashir, tiredly dropping the satchel at his feet. “Alone?” Munnelal scratched his chin. “Are you by any chance running away from home?”
