Mention the three phases of the author’s relationship with his grandmother before he left the country to study abroad.
The three phases of the author's relationship with his grandmother before he left the country to study abroad are:-
1. CHILDHOOD = When he went to the village school, and the grandmother helped him to get ready and went to school with him.
2. BOYHOOD = When he went to the city school on a bus, he shared a room with his grandmother, but she could not longer help him in his studies.
3. EARLY YOUTH = When he went to the university, he was given a room of his own. The common link of friendship was snapped.
Mention three reasons why the author’s grandmother was disturbed when he started going to the city school.
She was unhappy with the idea of music lessons given at school. There were no teachings of God and scripture in the author's English medium school.
Mention three ways in which the author’s grandmother spent her days after he grew up.
The author’s grandmother “accepted her seclusion with resignation”. She spent her days of loneliness by engaging herself in the wheel-spinning activity, reciting prayers and feeding the sparrows.
Mention the odd way in which the author’s grandmother behaved just before she died.
She had omitted to pray, she was not going to waste any more time talking to us. She lay peacefully in bed praying and telling her beads. Even before we could suspect, her lips stopped moving and the rosary fell from her lifeless fingers.
Mention the way in which the sparrows expressed their sorrow when the author’s grandmother died.
The author’s grandmother shared a unique bond with the sparrows. She seemed at her happiest self while feeding the sparrows.
The day the author’s grandmother died, thousands of sparrows sat scattered around her dead body. They sat there in utter silence mourning the death of the grandmother. They took no notice of the bread crumbs thrown at them and flew away silently after the body was carried for the final rites. Next morning, the bread crumbs were swept away into the dustbin by the sweeper.
