The bond of friendship and understanding remained strong between the grandmother and the grandson when they were in their village. She lovingly looked after all his needs— waking him up, getting him ready for school, attempting to teach him prayers and escorting him to and from school. While his classes went on, she sat in the adjacent temple, reading the scriptures till school got over. Such was the closeness of their bond. The turning point came when the author and his grandmother shifted to the city, with the bonds of friendship gradually weakening. Though they shared the same room, they no longer had common interests. Once Khushwant Singh started going to an English-medium school by bus, his grandmother could no longer accompany him. Neither could she help him with his studies as the subjects were not known to her. She silently disapproved of the fact that her grandson wasn’t being taught about God or the scriptures but was being taught science and music. In her opinion, music wasn’t meant for gentlefolk. Thus, their long hours of togetherness decreased.It was as if the grandmother was weaning herself away from her grandson’s life. Their relationshipbroke down further when the author was given a separate room once he started attending university. When he went abroad for higher studies, his grandmother didn’t display any emotion, mainly so Khushwant could depart in a peaceful frame of mind. On his return after five years, she welcomed him by beating the drum and singing folk songs about the homecoming of heroes, thus, showing her joy. Right through the narrative, a strong bond exists between the two. It doesn’t decrease but only becomes less obvious as time passes, which is only natural due to life’s changing circumstances.
