The story does not have breathless adventure and exciting action, but the element that makes it interesting is the smooth flow of psychological narration. Like any young boys, both Aram and Mourad, have their preference for something adventurous. They love horse-riding but the family cannot afford to have one. Mourad steals the horse and both of them enjoy the horse ride. But, their family is known for honesty and the same streak is present in them also. After a while, they overcome their greed and return the horse to its right owner.

Following are the ways in which we come to know that the author's grandmother was a religious person (i) She hobbled about the house in a white saree, always carrying and telling the beads of her rosary. (ii) When the author was in the village with her, he would always find her saying morning prayer while she bathed and dressed him up. (iii) The grandmother would always go to the village school with her grandson because the school was attached to the temple. While the children were taught, the grandmother would sit inside the temple and read scriptures. (iv) She would always feed the animals (dogs in the village) and birds (sparrows in the city) because she thought it to be a part of religious rituals. (v) The last moments of her life were spent in praying rather than talking to her family members.

Elsa was Albert Einstein's cousin from Berlin whose dad had a business there.
She advised Albert to just repeat the lesson in the examination, as and how it was taught in the class. Just learning the lesson by heart would do the trick, according to her. And understanding it was not essential. But the problem was that Albert wasn't good at learning things by heart.

When Howard Carter discovered King Tut’s tomb and his mummy in 1922, he found that the ritual resins had hardened and thus cemented the mummy to the bottom of his solid gold coffin. So he put the mummy in the blazing sunshine to loosen the resins.
But nothing melted. There was only one alternative.
The resins had to be chiselled away before removing the King Tut’s remains.

The author's grandmother had many admirable qualities in her. She was strong, spiritual, kind, generous, and courageous. She was a very strong woman who could adapt herself to any new challenging situation. May be she derived that strength from her devotion to God. For example, at the village she single handedly looked after herself and the author. Her real strength came to light when she was called to the city. Her life underwent change; her relationship with the narrator was deeply affected. She became more lonely and forlorn. However, she accepted the changes stoically. When the narrator went abroad, she endured the five year long separation courageously. At the close of her life also, she took a very courageous decision of not talking to any of the family members. She felt she had omitted to pray to God; so she decided to give all her time to praying to God. All the above mentioned examples prove she was a strong lady.

Betrayal of trust is an evil which may afflict people of any time or any age - this saying is quite apparent in the story - The Address. An old acquaintance of the narrator's mother Mrs. Dorling saved all their nice possessions during the war. But after the war was over, when the narrator came to Mrs. Dorling's house to take possession of all her belongings, the woman completely denied to know her and even disagreed to speak to her.

The narrator had always seen his grandmother dressed in spotless white saree . His hair were silvery and her locks used to spread over the pale and wrinkled face. The narrator described her to look like an expense of pure white serenity. He also compared the mountains full of snow cover to look equally peaceful as his grandmother face.

The author has described his grandmother very beautifully. He compared her to the winter landscape in the mountains and expanse of pure white serenity breathing peace and contentment. He used this simile to describe the all whiteness associated with his grandmother. She always wore spotless white dress. Her silver hair quite matched with her white attire. She was very spiritual and religious. As a result she exuded purity and serenity like a winter landscape. There were many appreciable qualities in Khushwant Singh's grandmother. She was quite affectionate. She looked after the narrator at the village so caringly that he did not feel the absence of his parents when they went to the city to settle. She was a strong woman who could adapt herself to any new challenging situation. May be she derived that strength from her devotion to God. She was so divinely dedicated to praying to God that she never left her rosary. Her feeding the village dogs and then the sparrows show her love for animals. She found company in them. And sparrows reciprocated her love and care. They didn't chirp at all; nor did they eat a single crumb at her death. She was really a saintly woman.
