Anil was a very kind and helpful person. It was difficult to rob him because of the trust that he imparted in others. He was a careless and honest person. According to Hari Singh, it was easy to rob a greedy man because he could afford to be robbed but it was difficult to rob a unsuspecting man like Anil because he didn’t even notice that he’s been robbed and this made a person feel guilty of having broken Anil’s trust.

The narrator was worried about Tricki because he had become tremendously fat. He looked like a bloated sausage with a leg at each corner. His eyes were blood red. His eyes and nose had a watery discharge. He stared straight ahead and his tongue lolled from his jaws.

The poet says that the boy has to learn that in this materialistic world, many of his belongings will be lost. He personifies the ball as his belongings, be it the worldly things or the relationships he is in possession of. So, he says that he has to learn to live without them no matter what. He says no one can buy back such things for him. The poet said so because according to him money can’t buy you everything. If it does buy you some materialistic thing, still, it will not be able to buy the sense of belongingness. He says that the boy is learning how to stand up against the sense of lost things. This means that the boy is trying to learn the real truth of life which states that you have to accept the miseries of life and stand up again. This is the truth which everyone has to learn in his or her life. The harsh truth of standing up against the odd miseries of life that everyone has to bear.

The poet says "I will not intrude on him" because the boy, for the first time in his life, experiences the grief of losing a much loved possession-his ball. He does not want to disturb the boy as he wants him to feel what it is like to lose something. The poet wants him to be able to cope with his loss.
He does not offer him 'money' to buy another ball because he wants the boy to understand that money cannot buy everything. He wants him be responsible enough to let go off things and move on in life. Once something is lost, it may never be restored. This realisation will help him have a mature outlook towards life.

In ‘The Ball Poem’ John Berryman gives a very positive message. Gain and loss, getting and losing are the essentials in the cycle of life. One should learn epistemology or the knowledge and nature of the loss. Our childhood with all its attachments and sweet memories has gone forever never to come back again. We should not weep over the losses that we have suffered. Let us learn to live and moving ahead in life forgetting all inconsolable losses.

Wanda sat in the seat next to the last seat of the last row in Room Thirteen. Her seat was in the corner of the room where the rough boys who did not get good marks sat. It was also the place where feets scuffled, roars of laughter could be heard, and where the floor was dirtiest in the classroom.

With these words, Aparna Bidasaria conveys her response to the bargad or the banyan tree, the main theme of her acrylic on canvas works that were on display in the Capital recently. Cool, calm, relaxing — this is how it felt as one stepped into the Shridharani Art Gallery to see her show, titled Time and Being.
The Indore-based artist captures the beauty of the banyan tree using a fine blend of two styles of painting — pointillism and impressionism. She shows how breathtakingly beautiful and calming the banyan appears at different times of the day, if only we stop to see and learn.
The bargad also known as vata in Hindi and aal in Tamil is a unique tree, for it can grow up to 30 metres or more in height.
Owing to its aerial roots known as jatas, which grow on its branches and fall to the ground, giving it support and allowing it to grow more branches, the banyan can cover an area of around 10,000 metres, making a canopy of some 19,000 metres — this is the dimension of the world’s largest banyan tree in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.
It was the British who gave this indigenous tree species its name ‘banyan’, for they would often see baniyas, traders, gather in its shade to conduct their business, write Nanditha Krishna and M Amrithalingam in Sacred Plants Of India.
Interestingly, the banyan was never high on the list of trees that horticulturists in the 1910s had made to line the avenues of the newly developed Lutyen’s Delhi. They thought it was ‘too overpowering’, ‘too big, too blocky’. The tree that is invoked by Hindus as the male consort of the peepul, seemed to them right only for large roundabouts, writes Pradip Kishen in Trees Of Delhi
But, it is because of these very reasons — its expanse and grand presence — that this evergreen, drought-resistant, long-lived tree, which is native to the Indian peninsula, has never gone out of public recall and can be spotted standing big and tall in parks or on roadsides, offering shade and succour to passersby.
“Trees give you life, a reason to be happy. The banyan just took root in me; it just grew on me. I find it very rejuvenating and so have been painting it for the last five years,” says Aparna. “There are many banyan trees in my city; there is a whole grove in the outskirts, in the Mhow Cantonment area, which is said to be more than 500 years old.”
The beauty of a tree is that you can look at the topmost part, its rustling leaves, and go down to the depths of its roots which have an infinite reach and see a being which nurtures, gives shelter and sustenance to so many forms of life around it. You are also looking at a tree that stands like a solitary sentinel, like all the greatest com-posers, philosophers, artists, and greatest individuals in the world, who have made solitary journeys.”
Did painting the banyan change Aparna’s perspective on trees? “Yes, now I observe them more keenly, how the light is falling on them, how more lyrical and beautiful they are becoming…,” says Aparna. She has begun to care for them.
I have now spotted a banyan right next to my office. Do I care what happens to it? I think I do. The tree, too, has begun to tell me how to just ‘be’. Standing amidst all the traffic and noise, it continues to look stately and calm, doing what comes to it naturally — give shade, oxygen, food and shelter to animals and birds around — a real mahayogi. The magic of the banyan is beginning to grow on me.

When Hari Singh stood alone on the deserted platform he started to think about Anil. He thought about himself and the life he has been living. The money he had stolen from Anil was the largest amount of money he had stolen ever. With that money, he could have enjoyed a life of Arab but he chooses to move back to Anil. Hari Singh realized that what education would give to him can never be bought by the amount of money. He remembered that Anil was the person who had trusted him, sheltered him, and had promised to teach him. In return, he had robbed him and ran away. Hari Singh didn't go inside the train and planned to move back to Anil.
