प्रश्न

Have you known someone like the author’s grandmother? Do you feel the same sense of loss with regard to someone whom you have loved and lost?

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

Yes, I knew someone like the author’s grandmother. It was my own grandmother who passed away recently. The intense sense of loss is very heart-wrenching as I spent almost fifteen years of my life with her.

Or

No, I have never known someone the way the author knew his grandmother. Thus, I have never felt a sense of grief presented in the story.
