How I thought My Grandmother to Read-sudha murthy 

The story How I Thought My Grandmother to Read is a touching real-Life account of author's childhood and her special relationship with her grandmother. When the author was about twelve years old, she lived in a village in north Karnataka with her grandparents. Life in the village was simple, and transport facilities were poor.Newspapers arrived only in the afternoon and weekly magazines came a day late. Everyone in the household waited eargerly for the bus that brought letters, newspapers, and magazines.

At that time, Triveni was a very famous writer in the Kannada language. One of her novels, Kashi Yatre, was being published as a serial in the weekly magazine Karmaveera. The novel was about an old women who strongly wished to go to Kashi, which is believed to be the holiest place for Hindus.

started, he promised to return and asked if she would be there. She nodded, and once again he

had to leave her behind as the train moved away.

After this meeting, the girl stayed in the narrator’s thoughts for a long time. When his college

term ended, he travelled to Dehra earlier than usual, eager to see her again. But when the train

reached Deoli, she was not there. He searched the platform and asked the station-master about

her, but the man knew nothing. The narrator felt disappointed and uneasy. He returned to his

grandmother’s house but could not stay long because he felt restless. He decided to go back and

ask more questions at Deoli.

On his next visit, the station-master had changed, and the new one also knew nothing about the

girl. The tea stall owner remembered her but said she had stopped coming and did not know why.

Once again, the narrator had to leave without any answers. Still, he comforted himself by

thinking that one day he would stop at Deoli, search the town, and find the girl.

Years passed, and the narrator travelled through Deoli many times. Each time, he looked out of

the train window, hoping to see the girl again, even though he knew she would probably not be

there. He never gathered the courage to get down at Deoli because he was afraid of discovering

the truth—that she might be married, sick, or gone forever. He preferred to keep the memory and

hope alive. For him, Deoli remained a place of dreams, longing, and unfinished love. He

continues to pass through the station, always waiting and wondering, but never stopping.

A quilt is a multi-layered textile, traditionally composed of two or more layers of fabric or fiber. Commonly three layers are used with a filler material. These layers traditionally include a woven cloth top, a layer of batting or wadding, and a woven back combined using the techniques of quilting. This is the process of sewing on the face of the fabric, and not just the edges, to combine the three layers together to reinforce the material. Stitching patterns can be a decorative element. A single piece of fabric can be used for the top of a quilt (a "whole-cloth quilt"), but in many cases the top is created from smaller fabric pieces joined, or patchwork. The pattern and color of these pieces creates the design. Quilts may contain valuable historical information about their creators, "visualizing particular segments of history in tangible, textured ways".[2].
