Question

The son’s personality and character underwent a sea change. What were the changes in Rakesh as observed by Varma.

Answer 1

Varma once saw Rakesh as a loving, respectful son, but later felt that he had changed. Rakesh’s careful medical supervision seemed to his father like cold-heartedness and tyranny: he restricted Varma’s food, refused him sweets and medicines he disliked, and insisted that he follow a strict routine. Varma therefore interpreted Rakesh’s efficiency and authority as a lack of compassion.
