The first and the most beautiful stage is the time when both lived in the village.
Author's parents had shifted to the city and the child was left behind in the village under the care and protection of his grandmother.
Both spent their time together, never leaving each other's side .
The grandmother paid all attention to him and looked after his needs.
Not only she helps him getting ready for school,she would also accommpony him there and help in his homework too.


On the way, she feeds the village dogs with stale chappatis.
The second stage of their relationship begins when the author joins an English school in the city.
The author now started to learn English, western science, and even music.
The grandmother could no longer accommpony him; nor could help him in studies.
Actually the second stage was the turning point in their life.
In the third stage, the conditions of their relationship got worsened when the author went to the university and was given a separate room in the house.
Until now, both got a lot of opportunity to talk as they shared the same room.
But the speration of rooms broken the common link of relationship.
They could hardly meet or talk to each other now.
Somehow,poor grandmother accepted her seculsion quietly and busied herself with her spinning wheel and feeding house sparrows.
