उत्तर
Maamanaar is considered to be a person who is very affectionate and calm. Though his sister’s children tease him to a great extent he remains mum With a smile. He never scolds them for their action. He is the one who is well-mannered and tidy. The way in which he takes care of his betel box and the newly brought chair reveals his perfection in handling things at home.
His cleanliness also comes to the limelight when one has a close look at his lime paste Dabba. Though he considers and maintains the things in his home as treasures, he is ready to lend his chair to the villagers. He even asks them to retain it for funeral purposes. This act of him highlights his generosity.
Panna seems to be a person who disrespects elders. The way in which he ridicules his Maamanaar when the latter pays a visit to his home proves this statement. He is also very good at making tricks. When the mourners come for the chair he diverts them to his Maamanaar’s house, which shows his deceitful act. In another sense, based on the above-said qualities we can also consider Pedanna to be a person who likes to lead his life with fun and cheer.

My first feelings were of relief–
relief that there were no more steps to
cut, no more ridges to traverse, and no
more humps to tantalize us with hopes
of success. I looked at Tenzing. In spite of
the balaclava helmet, goggles, and oxygen
mask – all encrusted with long icicles–that
concealed his face, there was no disguising
his grin of delight as he looked all around
him. We shook hands, and then Tenzing
threw his arm around my shoulders and
we thumped each other on the back until
we were almost breathless. It was 11.30

half hours, but it seemed like a lifetime
