Solution
The grandmother really played a vital role in molding the author in his formative years. She was a good friend of the author during his childhood days. Like most other grandmothers she used to tell him many fables. She made the author get up early in the morning and listen to morning prayer. It was because of her the author inherited both moral and spiritual values.
Even in our day-to-day life, we have seen that there exist some basic differences in the character of children who are in a joint family with that of the children in a nuclear family. The elders in the joint family always have a positive influence over their grandchildren. There is no doubt that they act as the best guide and guardian of the younger generation.
