Question

What events led to Varmaji’s wishing to be left alone?

Answer 1

Varmaji became bitter because Rakesh restricted his food, insisted that he take medicines and arranged for him to sit outside for the evening air. He felt that his son and daughter-in-law ignored his wishes and treated him like a helpless patient. When Rakesh offered him another tonic, Varmaji rejected it and said he wanted to die. He wanted to be left alone.
