This chapter is a fascinating description of the beauty of the old world. The author, Khushwant Singh, has described his grandmother in detail-how she remained unchanged in spite of the progress of time and the rapid change in the attitude of her grandson, the author. She held on to all her old beliefs and performed her duties in spite of the new-born differences. Her world was her own; she did not impose her world on anyone else but at the same time did not allow anybody to despoil her old world. Grandmother was synonymous with grace. Thus the story draws a beautiful picture of human relationship.
