Writing
(1) Who do you think Mr. Nath is? Write a paragraph or two about him.
Answer: According to me, Mr.Nath is a kind and simple person .He prefers to stay alone at Shankar house because he was undergoing medical treatment consulted by Nishad’s mother. He basically has no friends, rather lived in loneliness .He is very thin as he not take his meal properly, only two chapattis, some dal and a vegetable. There might be some other reason for his being loneliness. He has scars on his full face which may be caused by some major accident. So people get scared to face him and interact with him .Thus the only visitor visits him on every Sunday and spends a lot of time with him.
(2) What else do you think Nishad and Maya will find out about him? How? Will they ever be friends? Think about these questions and write a paragraph or two to continue the story.
Answer: eventually they both will find out Mr.Nath being a kind person. The only thing that he lives alone and no one interacts with him, the reason may be he loves to spent time alone or else work from home due to his bad health.
Yes, they will be friends with him no one or later because Nishad has set his mind to be friends with him and Maya would take time to investigate about him , but he will be proved innocent person and be friends very soon.
