She was so old that her face was wrinkled that at the present it was difficult to believe she would ever had been young and pretty. The author says that "she was like the winter landscape in the mountains and exponce of pure white serenity breathing peace and contentment.. His grandpa appeared too old and it was that he ever had a wife.. Singh was the only child at that time. His parents had gone to live in the city leaving him behind the village under the care of his grandmother. And would also feed him with Chappathi. The School as attached with a temple. Finally in the evening, the author and the grandmother would walk back home feeding the dogs. After a friendly relationship with his grandmother, he had to adopt a new life in the city. Both of them was sent for to settle down in the city with his parents. The author went to an English school but the grandmother never liked the way he was taught. In due course, Singh went up to a University and because of that, he was given a separate room.Only during the afternoon she would relax by feeding the sparrows with little pieces of bread. Later, Singh went up abroad for higher studies which was for 5 long years. His also taught that it might e the last physical contact between them when she came in the railway station to see him off. Singh notices that even at this time when everyone is joyful about his return, grandmother's happiest moments was with her sparrows. So she decides that she is not going to waste a single moment by talking so she prayed. Quite suddenly, the rosary falls from her hand and she exhaled her last breath and it was clear that she was no more. And to pay the last homage to the grandmother, thousands of sparrows gathered in and around her room. They don't even bother to notice the read pieces thrown at them. Along with her funeral, the sparrows flew away.

The author’s grandmother was a religious lady with a kind heart. Her one hand was always busy in telling the beads of her rosary. Her lips constantly moved in an inaudible prayer. She used to get up early in the morning. She did her morning prayer in “a monotonous sing-song”. Every day, she went along with the author to his school and while narrator studied she sat in a temple and read scriptures Later, in the city she was unhappy that there was no religious teaching at school. Before dying, she stopped talking to her family members and turned to prayers, and telling the beads.

The poem Childhood by Markus Natten is about poet’s reaction to his loss of childhood. The poet feels he lost his childhood when he became twelve years old; the second guess he makes his maybe he lost it when he could not find heaven and hell in his geography book; or maybe when realized the hypocrisy of adults; or maybe when he realized his mind could think his own peculiar and unique thoughts. Finally he concluded that he lost his childhood which is hidden in an infant’s face.
