Describe the changing relationship between the author and his grandmother. Did their feelings for each other change?
Due to some phases and transformation, their relationship got affected but it didn’t change their feeling for each other. When they were in village they used to be friends and grandmother used to accompany him to the school. Then a turning point existed between them when they shifted to city. She was not able to accompany him to the school and not able to help him in studies. She didn’t like the music which he was being taught in his school. But besides this they were sharing the same room and author used tell her about what he did in school. And later when author was going to abroad for further studies, so she accompanied him to railway station and she expressed her feelings and love by kissing him on his forehead and then the common link of their relationship got snapped as he knew that maybe it can be the last meeting with her grandmother. And when he returned back she came to pick him. Therefore their feelings for each other didn’t change but some distance existed between them.
